Scrolling the marketplace and found This. Looks like a shit ton of gear from a fake account. Posting to hopefully see if this is stolen gear and save folks from a scam.

Listing is already down. Either that or the link is fucked.

Why do you say it's a fake account?

I'm not on facebook anymore (thank gawd) but it looks like the guy has listed the gear on our local NRG climbers' page. I don't know him, and he's not a climber, but if it's stolen from this small community, it'll come out pretty quick.

As of the time of this post, the link works and the listing is still up.

It shows the poster has only been on fb since 2020, all profile pictures are of different people, and it seems to be a copy and paste of someone else’s gear without any information. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
