Big Sale!

Howdy guys,

Selling a buncha stuff. I have general pics of stuff, so if anyone needs a real specific shot, lemme know. I will not ship, so it's all pickup. I am in West Covina.

Notes:
-I take good care of my gear. That said, some of it is dirty. Crampon straps have blood in them from the most recent climb, so I apologise. Adds to the character of the gear. ;-)
-I have taken zero falls on my protection, just rappells and belay "leans", if you will. No damage. I wouldn't sell bad gear.
-I prefer to sell the hexes and nuts as sets, as in all the nuts at once. Reason being, it's a huge pain in the ass to find someone who wants to buy a random #8 nut.


I'd keep prices a tad lower, but I really need the money. It's going for a good price, so I feel.


BINERS (prices = each)
Image
Image
DMM Boa Quick-Lock $20 each
OP Jake quick lock $15
Metolius screwgate $SOLD


All others $5 each


BELAY DEVICES

Image
BD Figure 8 (Super 8?) SOLD
DMM Bugette (for smaller diameter ropes!) $7
Metolius BRD (My primary) SOLD


PROTECTION

Image
Metolius Curve Hex Set, 1-10 $SOLD

Image
Metolius Curve Nut set, 1-10 with an extra #2, #3, and #7: $55

Image
CAMP Tricams (#0.125, #.5 SOLD, #2 SOLD and 4 SOLD), $10 each

Image
Metolius Nut Tool $5
BD Nut Tool SOLD

Image
MSR Coyote 24" picket $10 ON HOLD



OTHER

Image
Backcountry Access Shovel (the one that doesn't have the graphs on it) $SOLD

Image
-BD 50 liter Predator (old style) pack $SOLD
A few holes, otherwise great condition. Did a few mods (matress pad to help with load carrying), and it comes with a free Jesus Christ air freshener, which helps, trust me.

Image
-BD Spire (Standard, not compact) trekking pole $SOLD

Image
-I have some slings, but they're mostly used, so if you really want one, chances are I'll throw one or some in if you buy something fancy. 11MM DYNEEMA SOLD
-I am selling books as well, some mountain ones as well as a ton of firearms and special operations related stuff. Not sure how interested anyone is.


SHOOZ

Image
Merrell Phaser Peak Size 13 $50
Medium use, good condition. Has some sole material cut off so that one can wear strap crampons with them, as you can see on the heels.

Image
Evolv Defy Size 13 $30
Medium use, good condition. A sport shoe.




ALSO, as a side note, I am selling a 1990 Nissan Silvia/240SX, mostly stock KA24E 2.4L I4 SOHC, mostly stock everything else for about $3k. I love it, but I want a different car right now, as I don't make enough $$$ to deal with this Silvia. Will take you across the twistiest roads in the SG's faster than any rich dude and his lambo.

*Looking for ITB (Throttle Bodies) for a Toyota 4A-GEU 16V, aftermarket N/A application camshafts, any other bits and bobs.

ASK AWAY! You can post questions here so everyone know's what's up.

Been playing competative softball for 32+ years and decided this past year to take a break completely. It tends to keep me from enjoying the Mountains as much as I like - so no explanation needed.

Hope to catch you on the hills again soon.

Thanks

You can auction off your soul here (or buy one if you need another):

BUT, is it really possible to sell you soul?

Answer: In the fanciful tale of Dr. Faustus, a man makes a deal with the devil: in exchange for his body and soul, the man is to receive supernatural power and pleasures for 24 years. The devil agrees to the trade, and Dr. Faustus enjoys the pleasures of sin for a season, but his doom is sealed. At the end of 24 years, Faustus attempts to thwart the devil’s plans, but he meets a frightful demise, nonetheless. This legend works well as a morality tale and as a metaphor for the wages of sin, but the details of its plot are not biblical.

The Bible has no instance of a person “selling his soul” to Satan, and it never implies that making a bargain with the devil is possible. Here is some of what scripture does reveal about Satan:

1) Satan has power enough to oppose even the angels (Jude 9; Daniel 10:12-13).

2) Satan seeks to deceive by masquerading as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14-15).

3) God has provided the means of defending ourselves against Satan’s attacks (Ephesians 6:11-12).

4) Satan’s power is limited by God’s will (Job 1:10-12; 1 Corinthians 10:13).

5) As “the god of this world,” Satan has dominion over those who live without Christ in the world (2 Corinthians 4:4).

Surely, there are those who suffer under direct satanic control, such as the young medium of Philippi (Acts 16:16-19). And there are those who have devoted themselves to the devil’s work, such as the sorcerers Simon (Acts 8:9-11) and Elymas (Acts 13:8). However, in each of these three examples, the power of God prevails over Satan’s slavery. In fact, Simon is offered a chance to repent (Acts 8:22). Obviously, there had been no irrevocable “selling” of Simon’s soul.

Without Christ, we are all under condemnation of death (Romans 3:23). Before we are saved, we are all in bondage to the devil, as 1 John 5:19 says, “The whole world lies in the power of the evil one.” Praise the Lord, we have a new Master, One who can break the chains of any sin and set us free (1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Mark 5:1-15).

Some of us wondered how long it would be before you decided to stay sane?

Great to hear Taco - by the way, the snow shovel came in quite handy Thursday night in Tamarack Valley - cleared the way for two tents and shored up the guy ropes as well. So some of the stuff you sold is going to good use.

Thanks again, Lilbitmo
:D
