Man... I bought one of these at Rock and Snow, in way better condition than this...

For 12 bucks.

It was obviously stored in a cammed position with where the rust spots are.  

Where did you find it?

Your rack is very confidence inspiring.

No. the guy I got it from said he was the original owner and never took a fall on it, so it is essentially a brand new.

Does it smell like smoke?  

Has it been exposed to cigarette smoke at all?

Any micro fractures?

Hmm; "conspicuously new and unused". Other dictionaries are available.

I'd say that "used and looking quite old, with attendant corrosion" doesn't quite cut it!

What climb did you pull that off of?

Taking that is like ogling  the Queen of England as she walks by. Sure, it's technically booty. But at some point you gotta say it's getting pretty old, and really was never meant for you anyway.

I’d have it reslung and then jam it back where I found it.

Hey! Booty is booty. Close your eyes and it all looks the same

Upon further inspection the cam may not be "brand new-ish" as I originally thought; as only the 2 outer lobes function. Seems the 2 inner lobes are welded in place, which leads me to this piece is a "rare prototype" or vintage piece. Now asking  $650 obo

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
