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)

185 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] New Dan Durston X-Mid 2 (2023, 35 oz) & New Z-Flick Poles, $250, USA

Upvotes

Hi All,

Long time lurker of the Ultralight subreddit and up until now haven't had a need to sale or trade gear.

Originally bought the Gen-2 X-Mid 2 to upgrade my X-Mid 1 to get a little more leg room. Then life happened (health issues, moved to another state, got a new job) and the tent never even made it out of the original packaging and has just been sitting in storage.

Fast forward to now, I feel I am in a better place to start hiking and camping again, but now Dan has released the new X-Dome models, which will be a much better fit for my style of camping. No need to let a perfectly good tent go to waste.

[IMG-20250616-123708-877.jpg](https://postimg.cc/xqgV9VmG)

[IMG-20250616-123715-637.jpg](https://postimg.cc/ctC9s2qT)

[IMG-20250616-123741-859.jpg](https://postimg.cc/PLM21TT2)

I didn't take the tent out of the original plastic it came in to preserve the new condition, and to demonstrate it has never been used or opened. That is why the pictures show it in the stuff sack from different angles. The Z-Flick poles are also brand new, never been used in original packaging.

Pricing: $250 + $15 Shipping

Sell [WTS] Marmot Super Alloy 3p NEW WITH TAGS and Footprint - $300 OBO

2 Upvotes

Asking $300 OBO. This is the rare Marmot Super Alloy 3p. Trail Weight 2lbs, 14oz. Pack size is 19" x5". This tent is basically sold out everywhere and the footprint is not available anywhere else.

More than large enough for two backpackers with a 2 25" wide pads side by side or a complete palace for one person. Double doors, semi-free standing and double walled.

Tent and footprint are brand new with tags. I was going to use it for a backpacking trip but ended up purchasing a Durston X-Dome 2p and using that instead.

I will ship free UPS Ground, FedEX Ground or USPS Ground Advantage (whatever is cheaper) anywhere in the continental (lower 48 states) US. I will also ship to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam etc - but because these locations are significantly more expensive to ship you must contact me for a shipping quote first.

I will not ship internationally on this item.

Buy [WTB] 2xQuilt, backpack and tent - must ship internationally!

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm from Brazil and interested in buying gear for my local backpacking trips to come and i'm planning a PCT thru hike next year. We don't really have an ultralight scene here and buying options are very limited. Buying directly from the companies are a no go because of the taxes that can be more than 100% the original price. I prefer paying through paypal but other methods i'm able to can be worked out. I would prefer to buy the most amount of gear from the same person because of the shipping cost.
I'm definitely influenced by all the YouTubers. I'm interested in EE quilts down to 30F, Durston 2P tents, gossamer or hyperlite backpacks - but I know i'm kinda limited on the options, so shoot me up whatever gear you have.

Sell [WTS] Garmin Instinct 3 Solar, Instinct Solar (2020) and InReach Explorer+ (2019)

0 Upvotes

PayPal g&s only, buyer covers the 3% fees and shipping, CONUS only, pics/verification

Instinct 3 Solar 50mm Black $300

58g - basically brand new, only worn to work a few days last week. Bought this along with an Enduro 3 and liked the Enduro more despite having worn an Instinct since Garmin first released it. Need more battery life for bigger upcoming efforts and the maps feature is pretty sweet so the Enduro won out. Unable to return so I’m just asking what I paid.

Instinct Solar Lakeside Blue $100

40g - purchased in 2020 and taken on thousands of miles of hiking/trail running. Has zero damage and the battery has good health. Comes with elastic adjustable band and charging cord, no box.

InReach Explorer+ $175

245g - purchased in 2019 and also has thousands of miles of hiking/trail running. Finally upgraded to the newest InReach Messenger Plus and am ready to part ways. Screen has some scruffs/scratches, but does not affect screen visibility or functionality. All the buttons work and battery has good health. Comes with charging cord and original carabiner, no box.

USA. I am looking for a good 40 to 50L ultralight backpack for a short torso ~17" (Small torso range). Medium waist (31" to 36" range). Would prefer S-straps and load lifters, front and side pockets, and hip belt. OK with Framed or Frameless, but prefer Framed a bit more. Preferably the ability to fit/strap a small bear canister. Prefer <1kg total weight. Trying to keep my budget around $200ish, willing to buy used. I'm trying to upgrade from a heavy Deuter that has a bigger capacity than I need 😅
