The website no longer allows you to sell your own gear, you must use their consignment model. Have sold gear in the past on Geartrade with no issues. I logged in a week ago to list about a dozen winter items for sale, and discovered that there is no longer a way to list your own items for sale. The only option is to now use their Consignment model, even though the help desk documents still show that you can list your own items for sale. I emailed the help desk a week ago asking how to navigate to the "list your own items for sale" via the menu options and still have not received a reply. If gear trade no longer allows or supports members listing their own gear, then the website should clearly state this and your help desk documentation should be updated.

Sick deals, closeouts from Backcountry.com Good stuff... I have gotten plenty of things from here. I especially look for when I need a specialized piece of climbing gear (generally clothing) that I may only a few times. For example I got good GORETEX pants for a mountaineering trip for like 1/4 the price. Also, Backcountry.com liquidates things here and you can get seriously good deals on basically new stuff. Got a sick pair of climbing shoes for $60 ($150 retail) and they are perfect. Highly recommend geartrade.

GearTrade is now 0 for 2 GearTrade is now 0 for 2, and I won’t be ordering anything from them again. My first order was for cycling shoes, but I received a completely different pair in a different size. Second order was for a cycling jersey described as “excellent”, when the zipper slide was no longer attached to the jersey. A Jersey without a working zipper, rated excellent? Ridiculous. Both items were sold by Backcountry, which apparently doesn’t adequately check the items they offer for sale on GearTrade.

great selection of products on an easy to use website I love gear trade and have bought a handful of products from the site. I primarily buy things sold by Backcountry as I trust the descriptions and have never been disappointed. The search options on GearTrade could use some updating but that's difficult when anyone can list products for sale and the seller misspells brand names, descriptions, etc. Typically not their fault but I would like to see some enhancements on that end.

Offer but no purchase As a seller I am most disappointed with the site. I have had 5 offers on a tent which I accepted but NONE have followed thru with the purchase. Having read complaints here about buying then getting a note the item is not available I am wondering g if this is happening or whether people just can't follow thru.
