So, this is a weird category of gear to buy used in.
Saddle hunter classifieds in Facebook regularly has stuff $10-$30 OVER retail costs!
Climbing and safety equipment is normally something that drastically loses value as soon as it is used by someone else even once. You don’t know if it’s absorbed some falls, how much abrasion it has seen, etc. Seems risky.
And it seems like lots of these companies are always sending out coupon codes, running free shipping deals, Black Friday is coming up, etc.
So how is it that someone can post a year old saddle that’s been hunted in, at or above retail? Who pays that?
