Good deal from good vendor on 80m rope, new with tags $150. And a few other rope options
- Do not use PayPal "gift" payments, wire transfers, Western Union, etc.
- Use PayPal credit card payments, or other systems that protect you from fraud.

I've had experience with this vendor several times over the years. |

just a heads up; I bought that same 80m rope(different vendor) for $145. While it was nice to get a super cheap 80m rope, I will say that the bluewater icon is a piece of garbage. I've been using it for 2 years as my main workhorse and it is quite annoying to handle. It is a skinny rope made to take abuse so the sheath is thicker than you would expect. I am inclined to believe that is the reason why it is very stiff and handles poorly. I've used 9.8s that are easier to handle than this thing. The price is amazing and it being an 80m rope means it can survive multiple cuts(I'm 2 cuts in and down to 72m) before needing to be retired; but in the future I think I'm going to spend the extra cash to get a more supple rope which handles better. For reference, I use a mammut smart alpine but friends have complained when using a gri gri on my rope. |

Sounds like we have very different experiences with the Icon. It is my 'light' rope of choice for the last few years. Wears well and it a bit stiff for a 9.1, but I like it.

I've also bought several ropes (mostly short cuts of static to use as rigging) from Gringoflojo and have never had anything but good experiences. I'm pretty sure it's someone either working directly for Bluewater or immediately related to them because the seller only carries Bluewater ropes. |

noo! Dont blow this ebay page up! Its a secret! shhh |

Just bought one from them as well, great experience. Hate to expose such good deals, but it isn't like its hard to find them on Ebay in the first place. I didn't realize they were out of date, will have to check the manufacturer's date on mine. I don't suppose it probably makes much difference as long as the rope isn't 10 yrs old, which they clearly aren't. |
|
Out of date just means last years model, just back stock Bluewater doesn't send out to retailers. They are out of Carrollton, GA, not UT. |
|
Been waiting for this seller to have a 80m dry 9.3mm Wave... Sounds like there are other options to buy new old stock? Anyone wanna provide some hints to me? :) |

I've bought two ropes from them as well about a year ago. You can't beat the prices, the shipping is fast, just another buyer with great experiences. |

Well, as mentiooned prior, BC.com also gets some of the ropes. |
|
Thanks for the ebay links I've saved them for when I need a new rope. |
