Buying a Trad Rack 2-Feb-2014 At 10:47:03 PM SydneyBattler

Greetings chockstone,

Im looking to squirrel away my monies and buy a trad rack. I already have sports gear so Im just basically just looking to buy trad pro. However, I have a few questions:

(1) How much should I set aside?
(2) What sized gear should I get?
(3) Other than cams and nuts, what else should I get (are hexes/RPs a must or a maybe)?
(4) For a thrifty gentleman with limited funds, what (online) stores should I go to? Aus or USA?

I'd mainly use it in the Bluies/Point Perp with the occasional pilgrimage to Araps. I have climbed trad before, but havent had a great deal of experience in how to build a rack (what I need when, etc). Any sage words of advice will be greatly appreciated.
