Platform is dated and has very little functionality.

I love the fact that I can buy and continue to use equipment that is important to me. The only negative is that it seems like it takes awhile to receive items.I just plan a little extra time allowance.

I've never sold anything on GearTrade, but buying has always been a good experience. Basically, it's like this. If there's something specific that I want, I can search for it to see if GearTrade might happen to have it. If they do, there's a review and photos of the item's condition...and a price. Many times, the item is literally in brand new condition, and the price may be only half of retail. And if it's coming from Backcountry, shipping is free. The only catch (and I haven't had to deal with this) is that returns can be difficult unless the condition of the item is misrepresented on the website. So read carefully and be sure before you buy; and have realistic expectations if the item's condition is less than new. Service is great and inventory is incredibly broad.
