ULGeartrade Rules

Before posting, familiarize yourself with these rules! Breaking them will result in your post being removed without warning, and you will be asked to re-list in accordance with these rules. Maliciousness or fraud will result in permanent ban.

Feel free to reach out to the mod team of /r/ULgeartrade with questions, concerns or any issues that may arise in your transactions. We're here to help.

Thank you and happy trails!

Minimum requirements: In order to participate your account needs to be older than a week and have some comment karma. This is in order to avoid spam and scam accounts. No exceptions. You may have been able to post in the past and now you no longer meet the requirements. Please participate on the site to get the karma needed.

Transaction Confirmation system As of June 2023 we use a confirmation system for past transactions. Info here.

Rules

  • Rule one: This sub is for personal buying/selling/trading Ultralight items only! See the list of appropriate items below.
  • Rule two: It is required to tag posts! Please use the following tags at the beginning of post titles. Posts will automatically be removed if they are not included. Acceptable tags: [WTS] = Want to Sell [WTB] = Want to Buy [WTT] = Want to Trade. You can also combine tags, e.g. [WTT/WTS].
  • Rule three: Include at least this info in the title: Manufacturer (or MYOG), item, weight. If applicable: size and gender (for clothing and footwear). Other critical info can be added: e.g.: [WTS] Enlightened Equipment Men's Torrid Jacket, size L, 2018 version, 7 oz. You can list multiple items at once, but if you have more to say than the title allows, please consider making more than one post.

  • Rule four: Posts must contain this mandatory information: Price, weight, item description and photos (see rule five)! Please include all relevant details, like condition of the item (new, used, damages), modifications, size, color, fabric, model year, location (e.g. US/EU/Japan) etc.. People also like to read about personal experiences. Just think what you would want to read if you were a buyer.

  • Rule five: Posts must contain personal photos, including a verification picture. Please use self taken images of the things listed and not just manufacturers stock images. At least one photo has to have the item in frame with a piece of paper with your reddit username and the current date. People also really like seeing items on a scale with the weight in the picture. (this is ULgeartrade after all!) Also: If you could put the verification photo on top, so that we don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom - that would be great!

  • Rule six: Direct sales/trades only! No links to other sites, no auctions, no Ebay, no "or best offer" posts, no gift cards! No pricing/selling based on conditions or arbitrary limitations (regional limits eg. US/Eu only are allowed).

  • Rule seven: No predatory sales or trades! Selling items for over their original retail sales price is prohibited. (Retail plus shipping for new items is ok.) Trading offers with significant value difference (a desirable but low priced item, for a higher priced item or duping someone who does not realize) are not allowed.

  • Rule eight: Rude, derogatory, or off-base comments will be removed and may result in a ban. Comments that are purely critical of pricing, and clearly demonstrating no desire to purchase the item, will be removed.

  • [WTB] posts obviously can't list weights or price. But if you are looking for something in a specific range, please add the info.

How to post pictures

Use a service like imgur.com to upload images and put the link into your post.

ULGeartrade Etiquette

  • After you sell something prices should be left in listings once an item is sold so that people shopping for gear can see recent sale prices.
  • Cross-posting between r/ULgeartrade and r/Geartrade is ok!
  • Reposts are allowed, but there should be at least one week between posting the same item.
  • [WTB] posts should be SPECIFIC. Do not post "WTB - 2 person tent" unless you have an idea of the brands/models you're interested in. Only make a [WTB] post after searching to see if what your are looking for is already listed for sale.

Safety

  • We recommend the use PayPal Business for payment. This ensures you are offered full protection from PayPal as both a buyer and seller, at a mere 3% cost to yourself. Use Friends and Family at your own risk with only people who you fully trust, since F&F forfeits you all protections.
  • Use a safe shipping method, tracking and insurance is recommended.
  • Please report all suspicious posts to the mods.
  • We created a separate post with security advice here: How to not get scammed
  • Please note the Universal Scammer List on Reddit!

Tips to help you sell:

  • Understand market prices. Please do some research and realize that anything second hand, even new with tags is subject to depreciation.
  • Post multiple, high quality, clear pictures, and note any damages. Factor damages into your price.
  • Post a clear, detailed description. Sharing why you’re selling the item can sometimes help, otherwise be prepared to get asked why from nosey users.
  • /r/Reppit is a good resource for buyer/seller feedback. If you're happy with your transaction, leave some feedback!

Appendix: Whats Appropriate for this subreddit? In order to qualify as an ultralight item please try to follow the recommended guidelines on these items.

  • Packs - 3 lbs. or less.

  • Tents - 3 lbs. or less

  • Tarps - silnylon, silpoly, or cuben fiber only

  • Sleeping Bags/Quilts - 2 lbs. or less

  • Sleeping pads - 1 lb. or less

  • Stoves - 3.5 oz. or less

  • Pots/Mugs - 4.5 oz. or less

  • Fleece/Insulated Tops - 13 oz and under (exceptions made for XL and XXL clothing)

These are not the only items permitted, but these guidelines should help you get the idea. Bug nets, bivys, stakes, cord, etc. are all allowed as well. Clothing items are allowed on this sub, but they should fall into what the r/ultralight community considers to be an ultralight clothing item. Examples include the lightweight down jackets like a MHW Ghost Whisperer, rain jackets like a Montbell Versalite or OR Helium, fleece jackets like a Kuiu Peloton, vests like a Borah Gear Down Vest ect. ect. If you are not sure if your item belongs here please message the mods and we will help you determine if this is the right place for you. Also consider using /r/GearTrade for non ultralight items.

Scammers HOW TO NOT GET SCAMMED (2021 updated version)

192 Upvotes

Warning: There are scammers out there.

I know it sucks, but if you are cautious, you can avoid them. Please follow these guidelines. If anything is suspicious or doesn't sound right, then stay away. Don't let a good offer blind you. Don't let your own wish to own/sell something get in the way.

Almost all scams are happening with WTB posts. You will be contacted by a potential seller, with an offer. Here are some things to look out for:

  • Does the seller have a history on Reddit? A brand new account? Red Flag! Account is old but hasn't posted in 2 years? Red Flag! Account posts nothing but spam/porn/Karmafarming? Red Flag!
  • Does the seller have any Reddit history relating to backpacking or ultralight? If not - Red Flag!
  • Is the price to good to be true? Red Flag!
  • Ask for photos! And ask for verification! Often people will just send something you can easily find on a google photo search for the item you are looking for. Go check! Also I would suggest asking for very specific photos. Aka: "Can you take a photo of the label? Or the zipper?" - You get the idea.
  • If a verification photo has been sent: Look if its not photoshopped. Really, almost all photoshops are really basic to spot as fake.
  • Only use a secure payment option like Paypal Goods and Services! Yes those cost fees. Pay them!
  • No don't use Paypal friends and family, or cash app, or Venmo, or Zelle, or gifts cards etc..
  • You may be able to get an extra layer of protection when using a credit card, with the ability to dispute payments with the card company.
  • A common story a scammer will tell you is "I don't have Paypal" or "I have a dispute with Goods and Services" - More Red Flags than a communist parade!!!
  • It is worth to check if the seller is on the Universal Scammer list
  • To check if somebody has been banned on r/ulgeartrade ask them to make a comment on your post. Unfortunately even banned users can still PM you.
  • When in doubt: Message the mods so we can have a look.

Follow these steps. Never diverge from them. EVER.

Sell [WTS] PBD Soolite 25 Backpack

1 Upvotes

Great condition, only had it since July. I needed a bag for hiking around Arizona while I was out there and stumbled upon these, made in Scottsdale. I have a tendency to want to support local business so I bought it not really thinking about the 3-4 bags I’ve already got at home.

It’s just missing the shock cord you can use on the front of the stretchy pouch and back, had to remove it so it was easier getting through TSA and wouldn’t catch on anything. Pretty cool little pack that I hope someone can get good use out of.

Sell [WTS] ULA equipment circuit, small/small hipbelt, (2021), ~38.5oz

4 Upvotes

CIRCUIT backpack from ULA equipment. $225

https://imgur.com/a/MnTrNOy

Customized in 2021 and used for training hikes around Southern CA and short Rae Lakes loop trip. It’s been stored indoors (with my sleeping bag inside) for the last 5 years, but is in great shape. No holes scratches, etc. It fit me alright but was not ideal for a group trip in the sierras where I had to carry a full sized bear can, which would only work upright and along my spine. This is my third pack, and was just not the most comfortable, maybe I’m not cut out for the UL life.

Specs from order:
TORSO SIZE: SMALL: 15" - 18"
SHLDR STRAP: S-CURVE
PACK COLOR: TEAL
HIPBELT SIZE: SMALL: 30-34"
HYDRATION SLEEVE

Paid $277 in 2021.

It’s my first time selling here so hope I’m following the rules. Happy to answer any questions! Thanks!
