Looks like he bought the whole set from somebody and tried to split them up and make some money haha. Auction he bought them in
He knew they werent black diamond and lied about it. Sorry piece of scum. There is no way you could confuse those cams with any pic of a black diamond cam.

First off I like the Granite Climbing Hold lat pull bar. Pretty sweet. If I can scrounge up the $10 it would be mine.
I propose we make this a permanent thread. Weeding out this nonsense is quite entertaining. I think it's hillarious how this guy buys auctions off ebay and then resells them under the guise of completely different gear (brand name stuff) when he knows fully that this is crap.
shows you feedback means nothing as his feedback is good. makes me wonder who is buying this crap and why more people aren't dying out there on the cliffs and in the mountains.

In reply to: In reply to: Dude, I hope he makes us some axes next! Little lead pipe with some steak knives bolted to the head anyone? I haven't given a trophy in a while, but that earned it!
Thanks dude. I'm currently working on a method for stringing together coke-can tabs for carabiners.
Oh, and look for my own "training board" complete with broken beer bottles and bird shit on the top to simulate real outdoor urban climbing.
Cheers,
A.W.

They should make a rule on e bay.... No selling rock climbing gear period! Some idiot is going to try and trust his life to one of those things.
As a rule, I never buy used gear.

auctions like that one always make me wonder how much of the stuff sold on eBay is stolen . . . .
I mean come on if you bought them, you'd know at least enough about them to copy the marketing blurb from the Black Diamond website to add at least some content!
eBay . . .the pawn shop of the new millennium !!

After about ten minutes I was able to dig up the following "people" who consecutively bidded against themselves in jiracek123's auctions, thereby raising the price for cheap misrepresented crap that he was selling:
d lucas; strangersapwood; wolfman2408; huesos89sonora; jaq0815; marycfafs; mmj7580; wrangler334; sullivan52880; drumuzik; bsweet626.
I am sure there are more, but who needs more proof.
I hate to rant but can't help it: I HATE PEOPLE WHO CHEAT, STEAL, AND MISREPRESENT FACTS IN ORDER TO PROMOTE THIER OWN AGENDA. MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING. JIRACEK123 BUYS MOST OF HIS OWN CRAP WITH FAKE EBAY ACCOUNTS, AND I HOPE HE CHOKES ON IT! I DON'T CARE IF THE GEAR HE SELLS IS STOLEN FROM REAL CLIMBERS OR NOT, HE IS STILL A THIEF, AND SHOULD HAVE HIS HANDS CHOPPED OFF SLOWLY WITH A RUSTY STEAK KNIFE.
Hopefully Karma reads this post, and strikes that dick with lightning. That is all...

Please explain the evidence you found for bidding against oneself.
Explain how this is different from the bidding history when a bidder enters a high MAXIMUM bid which starts low then is automatically stepped higher according to the proxy bidding protocol.
Your vitriol MAY BE a bit premature...

The term "proxy bidding" was new to me, so I read all about it. My wife sat me down and explained it to me ten times. I still don't get it, but I'm pretty sure I was wrong about my presumption of shill bidding. Oddly enough this isn't the first time I have been wrong.
I have vitriol coming out of my ears, its a product of my work environment. :twisted:

Actually there is nothing wrong with the harness. It is an old style BD "Bod" - very popular as a gym or rental harness, or with commercial groups in the early 90's. I don't know if you can still get them.
However what is wrong is the way it is worn! It should look a little more comfortable than that.

I wouldn't touch that stuff. Anyone who is not only dumb enough to make that Hex (Which by the way is clamping cables with clamps designed for rope and cord) and then try to pass it off obviously hasn't the faintest of ideas about safety, gear or reality for that matter. Not only is trying to sell that hex, (Or give it away) a pretty dumb idea, it's irresponcible. The guy probably doesn't even understand how gear should be stored or treated.

We used to have one as a spare for new people and endearingly and rightfully called it, "the pinch". They're not more comfortable than that. :(

hmmm, you'd be surprised that that's not that strangest thing I've seen on eBay. Lots of people with way too much time on their hands.
Check out the "Everything Else" section, or the section that item was listed in "Weird, Totally Bizarre" for crazy stuff.

That's the way you put it on for Aussie style (face first) rapelling. Put the HMS biner on the back and away you go.

FYI
The cams are made by Climb Axe. You can get them at Mountain Goat Outfitters in Spokane, WA for $24.99 apiece for any size. They're CE certified but the country of origin is not stated. Kinda crappy workmanship if you ask me.

I just can't figure out who or what this guy is trying to repel...
http://cgi.ebay.com/...QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
...and he paid $80 for a BD bod? For that price it had better repel anything you want :lol: .
