I'm looking to buy some gear, but I'm a little short on cash. I was just wanting to get some shoes (maybe some cams too), I know my size for Five Ten (my preferred brand) and would be okay with buying second hand. Best places where you find second hand gear, either shoes or just in general?
You only need your personal stuff, harness shoes, etc. everyone else will have plenty of gear. Just focus on getting the best shoes , harness you can afford - NEW!! You’ll have plenty of money later and can buy a quad rack of ultralight- again NEW!!
I like EBay. I buy all my shoes there (best to know what shoes you want and what size you are). Also, 90% of my trad climbing gear has been purchased used either from MP or EBay. I have to disagree with Levi as I think buying used is a great idea for the savvy buyer. I imagine that over the past 10 years I have probably saved nearly $1000 dollars on purchasing used vs new gear. Good luck!
