All work. Used and faded, are being sold for cheap as a result. Free shipping

New, never worn. The XL fit me better and I just never got around to returning or selling this and now it’s the holidays so…Happy Festivus! I’ll even pay shipping (US domestic).

Comment here and I’ll pick one randomly tonight.

This dude lurks around WTS posts. Tell him to fuck off if he hits you up.

He tried to hit me with a hilariously bad photoshop here: https://imgur.com/a/B3yNsqA

Reverse image search showed me he got it from here: https://backpackinglight.com/forums/topic/103127/

As promised last night, I have sent the dookie on its way to the scammers. But I didn't feel comfortable with just sending him dogshit. No. That would be too easy.

Step one: http://imgur.com/gallery/xq1dKFr The two logs, double sealed because I don't hate the poor ups guy.

Stwp two: http://imgur.com/gallery/Jb6c7Be Precious cargo in the box. Can't have it be jostled!

Step three: http://imgur.com/gallery/dHK4I9g I gorilla glued the box shut. Should be be a fun puzzle to open! :)

Step four: http://imgur.com/gallery/ru0TMmR He told me it was for his sister's birthday (a male size 9.5...) so I told him that I would wrap it for him! Going the extra mile in customer service!

And finally, the artist herself: http://imgur.com/gallery/vLtqUyt

I really hope his sister likes it!

Edit: also please someone buy my crispis shipping was expensive.

Hello fellow gearheads! Like the title says, this POS was caught trying to scam two separate members off of their WTB posts. Stay vigilant, always request verification, and ensure you are using payment protections. BE MINDFUL OF OTHERS CONTACTING YOU OFF YOUR WTB. And as always, if you're ever unsure about a user, don't hesitate to reach out to our mod team. Stay safe out there people!

EDIT: THIS SCAMMER HAS A SECOND ACCOUNT U/SETHISAHOTTYQW

This scumbag is already banned from both r/GearTrade and r/ulgeartrade but that does NOT stop them from preying on your WTB posts! That said folks, please be weary of sketchy accounts (check a user's history) and be sure to always use protected methods of payment (PayPal Goods and Services).

Please direct any other questions to our mod team and we'd be happy to assist. Don't forget to report these scumbags to us if they ever contact you!

Lately, we've been getting an increasing number of reports on attempted scams of our awesome users of this sub. Following these steps will almost guarantee your safety against these scumbags. Additionally, at the bottom of the post will be a running list of ALL banned users caught trying to scam others. Do not diverge from these steps, ever. Credit for this post goes to u/mittencamper from r/ULgeartrade, big thanks!

1 - ONLY use PayPal Goods & Services, unless you have it on ridiculously good authority that the user is a legitimate and upstanding member of the r/GearTrade and/or r/ULgeartrade community, who has been participating in either sub for a while and has post history of selling/buying gear on either subreddit. Regardless, the ONLY way to prevent yourself from getting scammed is to use G&S, no matter the situation!

2 - Conducting business with low/zero karma accounts is HIGHLY advised against. Somebody answering your [WTB] post with a three-day-old account? 99.9999% chance it's a scam.

3 - If either the seller or buyer mentions anything about Venmo, Cashapp, or Zelle, the deal is a SCAM. Do not proceed and report it to the mod team.

4 - Our mod team works hard to ensure that every [WTS] or [WTT] post contains a verified photo of the gear being sold. However, if a seller contacts you through your [WTB] post, always always ALWAYS require a verification photo of said gear for sale. If you are still unsure, do not hesitate to contact the mod team.

5 - If ever in doubt, message our mod team and we will tell you whether or not it's a scam. If we are unsure or having any doubts ourselves, we will likely tell you not to proceed.

Most scams on this subreddit occur when you post a WTB and someone answers it. Follow the rules above and you have a 99.9999999% chance of never being scammed. Here is a perfect example of what multiple red flags look like:

DISCLAIMER: A NAME THAT DOES NOT APPEAR ON THIS LIST DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE BUYER/SELLER WHO HAS CONTACTED YOU IS NOT A SCAMMER. Now, here is a running list of all banned users of this sub, regardless of reason.

Please, if you believe that the person on the other end of your chat is a scammer, DO NOT HESITATE to reach out to the mods. We work hard to ensure a peaceful and scammer-free environment, but we can't see who's messaging you privately. Help us fight against these low-lives and contact us immediately if you believe you are walking into a scam.

I'll be quick. If you made a life-changing decision to get out and thru hike this year because you need the hike to change your life then don't give up! This is NOT the universe just telling you to give up.

Don't sell that brand new pack or tent (unless you need money to survive or support others, of course). The time will come for you to get outside and put the gear to use. Don't give up if you are struggling!

The thing that "changes lives" for most people on trails is the sense of community. So get out and find it another way. Go volunteer locally (safely and minding recommendations from officials). Find online communities to join as they become more popular throughout all of this situation. Join live stream exercise groups, music groups, yoga groups, any groups. Just build community around yourself (from a distance).

You made the commitment to thru hike this year. That planned changed and is outside of your control. Don't quit fighting for your well-being. If you can commit to accepting the challenge of discomfort in thru hiking in order to grow, then lets put our heads together and find another way for you to do that while trails are not accessible.

Sincerely,

Someone who cares about you

p.s. i've got nothing to trade but i'm sending good vibes your way

p.s.s I am in NO WAY encouraging people to get out and hike anyways. Listen to recommendations from officials on the state and federal levels. My fourth thru hike is cancelled or postponed and I am making the call to avoid getting on the trail in order to not contribute to the crisis.

Edit: P.s.s added

For sale are genuine Polartec Power Grid High Warmth Skully Beanies for sale. $35 + shipping. For sizing, they will fit a 7-8+ US hat sized heads as there is tons of stretch in this material. And they only weigh ~1.5oz/43g.

When I started this journey of sewing I had a goal of helping others with part of the profits from things I made and sold. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month so this is where I want the money to go.

For every Skully Beanie sold in September, I will donate $5 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for childhood cancer research.

Please join me in making an impact.

Older drop but in great condition. Been sitting in my closet unused for a few years now, at least. Yellow is alpha 120 and Blue is alpha 60. XXL but runs a little smaller than you'd think. Really long, though. Leave a comment and I'll pick a random winner tonight (1/9/26). I'll even cover shipping to CONUS..

SOLD!

I got like 8,000 messages about this within seconds of posting and I will never be able to reply to everyone individually, but thank you all for the nice words. Wear a mask and get vaccinated as soon as you’re eligible!

For sale: one Gregory Baltoro 75, men's size large.

I honestly don't know how old it is--if I had to guess, I'd say my husband bought it in 2015? I do know it hasn't been used since October 2018 and has been stored (and by "stored" I mean "sitting in our guest room taking up space for no good reason") indoors in a non-smoking home since its last use.

It's in great shape, with all straps, clips, and zipper pulls intact and functional. There are no rips, snags, or holes anywhere. Everything it had when it was new is still there[1]. It absolutely needs a good cleaning but is otherwise in excellent condition.

I will send this pack to you, with a smile on my face and a song in my heart, for $25.00 (yes, twenty-five dollars) plus shipping. No, I'm not kidding. No, I don't care that I could probably get more money for it[2]. Yes, my husband knows I'm selling it. All I care about, honestly, is that this pack no longer resides in my home.

Pics and verification: https://imgur.com/a/G1DKytq

[1] According to REI, the current version of this pack comes with a rain cover, but I don't think this iteration did, so there's no rain cover for it.

[2] I'm a nurse and there's a pandemic. I have worked a lot of unwelcome overtime in the last year. I need a great many things as a result, no question, but more money for this pack is not one of them.

Like the title says, this scumbag was caught earlier today, thanks to a vigilant redditor who knew something was up. This POS has been banned already but that doesn't prevent them from contacting you directly off WTB posts or creating new accounts. If you are even 0.0001% unsure about a transaction, reach out to our mod team for an honest second opinion. Stay safe out there!

This user has already been banned. We've been getting multiple reports on here, as well as r/ulgeartrade, that this user is still contacting people off WTB posts and trying to scam them. u/wereHD IS A SCAMMER. Fuck you u/wereHD, you are a scumbag.

I've messaged mods but haven't heard a reply so I'm posting here as an alert. Can provide additional verification if mods request.

Hey everyone, I am pleased to announce that r/GearTrade has onboarded a Transaction Confirmation Bot system!

The bot’s name is u/GearTradeBot. This system will allow users to confirm transactions and increase their flair score accordingly.

NOTE: Do not use the old "GearTrade Seller Review" threads anymore. Follow this process instead.

This is the same automated system used in 50+ subs so if you're familiar with any of them, this is the same system. Otherwise, read on to find out how you can confirm transactions, leave feedback for your partners, and increase your flair score.

Feedback

A user can get trade feedback with the following process:

• Users A and B complete their trades following all of the sub rules. (It does not matter who A and B are. Either one could be the person making the post, and the other someone commenting on the post).

• Once the trade is complete, User A makes a top level comment (new comment) on the original post tagging both the user they worked with and u/GearTradeBot.

• User B replies to that comment with their feedback.

• u/GearTradeBot picks up the interaction and gives credit to both users, changing their flair accordingly and leaves a comment indicating as such.

• If User A messes up their top level comment, u/GearTradeBot will do its best to notify User A.

There are automatic checks in the code to detect anyone trying to cheat the system. If anyone is found trying to circumvent the system, they will be issued a permanent ban.

The bot required that the OP of the post it is being tagged in is either you or your trade partner. DO NOT DELETE POSTS otherwise you will NOT be able to use that post to confirm a trade.

Feedback Checking

Using this link, you can send a message to u/GearTradeBot, asking for the feedback of any given user. It will tell you the following:

• The number of transactions that person has done

• The people they have traded with (and how many transactions those people have)

• A link to the thread for each successful trade

Please feel free to direct any technical questions to the moderators using modmail. If you do not know how to use modmail, please click this link.

If you notice any odd behavior from the bot, please let us know!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Why is this being done?

  • This system allows you to track your confirmations and get credit for positive transactions. This means that, as you increase your score, you'll become more reputable in the community and people will feel comfortable working with you.

• Can I get credit for transactions that occurred before this change?

  • Yes! You can go back in time, find your posts, and confirm your old transactions in the way described in this post.

• What happens if I tag someone with this system and they don't reply?

  • Leaving feedback is not a requirement but the bot will do its best to help make sure your partner replies! If they do not reply, there isn't much we can do. Sorry!

Thanks for being an awesome community, looking forward to this bot helping streamline the trading process!

Everyone be on the look out for this scammer. Just tried to have me pay for a Goruck GR2. Has a history of posting on WTB threads and then deleting comments and posts. Seems active in all the gear trade groups. Fake airbase excuse used. Set him up to ask if he was in a unit in Colorado. Said yes. Said unit is in Alaska. I’ve been following his history and he has contacted multiple people saying he has certain things t then deleting the comments.

Make sure to check descriptions: these are well used items..

The jacket is closing in on 8 or 9 years old and the pants about 5. There are some quarks to the gear I’ve gotten used to, I’m just finally ready to get new gear. From what I remember, the Jacket was top of the line with the best insulation (was around $400 new.) I’ve been fine in -15 degree F with some wind chill added. This jacket was built for heavy powder days. Pants are also nice with some insulation (around $150 new), but have some damages from a ski and a butt fall. For sizing reference, I’m 5’9” 175lbs and the arm length was perfect. I’m about a 33” waist and the pants have a little room still. Sad to see these go as they’ve been very useful. Let me know if you’re interested!

I have a snowboard too if you’re new to the sport and want to try it before making a huge investment. Shipping would probably be a bit more for that though.
