As I mentioned in my original post, they have a good concept, but I wonder if they can gain enough critical mass to really make it a destination site. Right now if I’m looking for real cheap or used climbing gear, I go to eBay.

For climbers though, the problem is there isn’t a lot of gear we’re willing to buy used. Out of the question items include: harnesses, ropes, slings, draws, and a majority of trad gear. Shoes, books, and ice climbing gear make a lot of sense. I personally bought a bunch of ice climbing gear for my older Simond ice tools on eBay, but that’s about it.
