Buying gear on ebay - hints and tips 24-Nov-2008 At 8:30:59 AM dave
Message
I am always amazed each time I go on Ebay to see if there is any climbing gear on there. Every time there seems to be someone selling a buch of ancient and very dodgy looking gear at extremely high prices, and the strangest part is people are actually bidding on these items!
Half the gear would be 20+ years old yet the prices aren't that much below what you could get new gear for. Who buys this rubbish? Someone starting a climbing gear museum? I hope so!

heres some current examples:

Nice to know this gear has 'no structural damage'!
