Your opinions on buying 2nd hand gear.....	24-Sep-2002 At 10:04:05 AM	Mike

I've bought two full sets of nuts, a dozen quickdraws and various other odds and sods, second-hand, off of Steve at Rock Hardware in Bendigo. Basically Steve is a greak freak who will put brand new gear on his rack every year, then sell it 2nd hand at the end of the year (out of his shop), only to gear up with new stuff again. Since I know Steve well and have climbed with him often, I can trust his assessment of what history the gear has seen - this fact is vital I think when buying second hand. Now if you respond to a scribbled add at the Araps toliet block noticeboard, and buy a swag of cams off of some dude who is leaving the country... well, it's your lookout.
