I have an infant and I dont even have time to top rope, much less go Trad climbing lol.  And I am so rusty, It wouldnt even be safe for me to do it.  If my son gets the climbing bug and is responsible enough that I can introduce him to trad climbing in 15 years, I will go out and buy equipment again.  But to me, the money is more important for me to have right now than a hope and a prayer that we will be father/son trad climbing in 15 years together.  I am keeping my top rope and sport stuff in hopes that one day he will want to climb, but ALL my trad stuff has to go.

Not even sure where to start pricing it, is there some sort of default % that people are generally paying below market rate for used gear?  Like 50 or 75%?  As you can see it is all in good condition.  I got into trad climbing pre covid and have probably 15-20 climbs on this gear.  The biggest fall I ever took was essentially rope stretch because I would always have my partner lead the hard stuff.  I was a spicy 5.7 trad dad lol.  

I would highly prefer not to split this up into 10+ different shipments as I dont have time to go to the post office every day.  Obvious preference goes to someone who wants to get into trad and buys the complete rack and can pick up and pay in person (Massachusetts) but I would drive an hour to meet you somewhere in between if the right offer came along.

I am also going to try ebay and facebook, but maybe people here can tell me if my expectations are unrealistic in hoping to unload everything at once.

You should be able to get at least $1000 for the lot. You might consider splitting up the link cams - those are no longer manufactured and yours are in great shape

Second this. No need for more gear but I’d say about 1000 bucks would be fair. Second the splitting out link cams.
