Hey Patrick,

What’s the manufacture year on the Lot 1 Metolius cams; and have they been re-slung?
Patrick Betts · · Moab, UT · Joined May 2008 · Points: 260

The Metolius cams are 2006 except the number 4 Metolius which is 2012. None of the Metolius set (lot 1) have been reslung.

In Lot 2, the Metolius tcu and the BD (no thumb loop) #1 have been reslung in approx 2016.

Would you sell the rope by itself? Can you give some history on it and how much?

Why dont you match the colors on biners and cams

Demetri V · · Farmington, CT · Joined Jul 2019 · Points: 132

For anyone looking at Lot 1; it’s $3 per cam for Metolius to resling. $8 per cam if you need a resling and new trigger wires. Plus $10 for shipping each way.

You’re asking $45 per cam, plus shipping, for 14-year-old cams anyone can get online right now brand new for $45 per cam with free shipping. https://www.backcountry.com/metolius-ultralight-power-cams?skid=MET000E-LTPU-S8&ti=U2VhcmNoIFJlc3VsdHM6UG93ZXIgY2FtOjE6MTpQb3dlciBjYW0=

You can keep all of your racking biners, and I’ll give you $190 shipped for Lot 1.

Demetri,

Edit: None of these cams need reslinging or new trigger wires. I'll pass on the $190. A full set from Backcountry (which doesn't have all the sizes) with a rack pack and tax will be around $370. Feel free to give Backcountry.com your money.

Rope is not for sale, only as a bonus if you buy everything. Rope was a gift, used less than 10 times, less than 2 years old.

Joe,

I prefer to rack my off range cams to the closest standard size color. Makes it easier, in my opinion. Since the majority of my cams are DMM dragons which follow the C4 color profile that's what I do with my Metolius cams.

I'm sure I have enough random colored biners around that if you want, when you buy a lot I should be able to match most cam colors.

Add a rack pack of cheap biner and your sitting right around $400. Feel free to give Backcountry.com your money.

no offense meant, but assuming the racking biners are 4$, your'e asking for 43$ per cam for Lot 1 (I included shipping because all the new cams come with free shipping). Brand new cams will cost you 44$, maybe a hair more with tax. And while backcountry may not have every size you have, Moosejaw is selling them for 44$ as well and they can fill in the gaps. All with free shipping.


just trying to help you sell your gear!

Whisk3rzz z,

No offense taken. These are still cheaper than buying them on a website, plus carabiners and tax. If you want to help sell the gear then buy it and I'll cover the $15 shipping.

It's a good price, not a steal of a deal, but a good price for excellent condition cams with carabiners that you can climb on the same day you open the box. If you are the type to get every used cam reslung and retriggered then these aren't for you 

I'm not looking to sell the gear at low ball price. Buy it all and you are coming out ahead with the rope and lockers!

What's your point?

No point whatsoever, just sharing data. I will remove myself from the thread. Sorry if I offended. Good luck on the sale.
