Black Diamond Camalots for Sale

Hey guys,

My name is Josh, I'm a climber from the USA who spent a few months back in 2004 climbing at Arapiles and the Grampians. While I was there I climbed a fair bit with the late, great Shaggy (I think there are a few photos of us on this site somewhere).

Anyway, I'm selling off a big chunk of my rack in order to pay for some ACL surgery (since I won't be needing it for awhile). I think I can get a bit more for it by selling it in Australia than I could here, while still giving you guys a really good deal, and, honestly, I find eBay to be a major hassle and racket. So, basically I have roughly 5-6 sets of Black Diamond Camalots (all C4's), many with color-matched biners (mostly DMM Spectres), that I want to part with. All of these cams are used, and you should be aware of that, but they all work and are all on my active rack. I would NOT be selling any of it were it not for the fact that I probably won't be using it for the next 6+ months.

So, what I was sorta thinking was that I'd like to get about $65* USD or more (more as size goes up) per cam/biner combination plus shipping. I'm not sure on the exact prices for shipping - I think a lot would depend on how much packages weigh and insurance and things like that, but I'm guessing it could be kinda pricey. I do have a paypal account so that makes it easier.

Anyway, I wanted to see if there was interest, and if there is, I can post a more detailed list of what I have and possibly photos. So, if you're interested (seriously interested), email me or post here. I do have some other items too (like some DMM Spectre quickdraws) if you're also interested in those. Sorry, not selling any of my Aliens! ;)

Thanks,

Josh (email: joshDONOTINCLUDETHISjanesATyahooDOTcom)

hey dude, bummer about the surgery. I'm looking to expand the rack a bit and was interested ubtil I saw the price. Thought I should point out to you that we can now get c4's brand new for $68 aus dollars. Probably were heaps more expensive when you were here.

Given that I could pick up a brand new #.3 - #.75 C4 and a spectre for $70USD + shipping I don't think you'll sell any at the price you've offered.

Interesting. It looks like you guys are right. Maybe I'll just go the eBay route afterall. I was basing my prices on a friend's suggestion who lives over there, but maybe he's out of touch with reality.

I'll leave the post here though in case someone wants to buy a whole bunch of them at once perhaps we could negotiate a deal.

Anyway, thanks y'all for the feedback.

With the strength of the AUD against the USD recently, things had to change:

Yeah, don't get me started on what's wrong with my country... I just had surgery w/o insurance... what an effin' nightmare.

Ok, I checked a few more Australian gear supplier sites, and also did math on my end, and I want to edit the prices I posted up initially. The best I can do would be, for sizes 0.3-0.75, with a colored DMM Spectre, $52 each plus shipping. For #1's, #2's, #3's, with the Specter 'biner, $57 plus shipping. I'm guessing shipping would be about $20 and up depending on package weight or insurance. I may have some cams available w/o 'biners... I'll try to be more specific when I get a chance to hobble into the garage and go through things!

The US has problems, but so much I hear about the medical system over there is really really really f%cked up. And the rabid resistance to any kind of change the government tried to make was unbelievable. Sorry for the OT but good luck with the recovery mate.

So, just to follow up, I've sold everything but a 0.4 Camalot and a red C3, and the draws and extra 'biners. If anyone is interested in those things, let me know.
