I looked and there are no sling dates on the cams.  They are all original slings though.  I still use them, so they must be good!

BTW Senior Arroz ;) I fixed my lucky cam!  Took some pliers and bent it back into shape, cleaned and lubed it up.  It is good for another 10 years!  Not for SALE!

And we're still drinking off the excess money you earned after raising the price to that!

What do you think this is, eBay?

I would probably sell you the other cams for $500... AND I would include this beauty!  It may have been whipped on, popped and then one of the lobes caught in the crack and stopped my fall, but whatever...

I’d still take a ride on that!

This is like a bad episode of antiques roadshow.

Like my #2 that was in Climbing Magazine - $40?!?! (full disclosure = it's fucked)

I'll throw in this thoroughly-tested beauty if the OP raises the price to $1500. Action like new, but my partners don't like seeing it when they get to the anchors.

That #2 is a Picasso cam. Clearly worth millions.

Ok guys!  I really do want to sell these cams! I sold a couple, and the price seemed fair to me.  $30 for the C4's with thumb-loops and $25 for the Camalots without thumb-loops. Add 8 bucks for shipping.  I still have all sizes so just ask.

I'm not trying to troll the OP - but right now you can get brand new C4's starting at $45 - NEW - they are 30% off (as they regularly are) and free 2 day shipping

Why do people buy this clearly overused (and potentially dangerous) stuff for practically the same price?

"Dirtbag Climber Exchange" is the header, no?

I realize that the true dirtbag is a rare creature. However, to such a person, $15 equals a few days of food. Buying a set of used cams on this forum could very well mean enough savings to finance a big trip.

For those not initiated into the cult of the microfracture, the sling is the point of concern on a cam without visible deformation. If one can sew or tie a water knot, this is an easy fix.

I imagine other motivations for buying used gear are mostly social. Post a rack here, and you'll quickly find that most of the responses come from folks who aren't really interested in buying gear. Actual buyers will often strike up a conversation about your local crags. Some of us will buy a rack and part it out to help a fellow climber out of a pinch.
