I'm only giving one star because there… I'm only giving one star because there isn't an option for negative stars. This company is a parasite and I will never use there service, buy from them, or support there business in anyway. Any company that would take over 50% of your sell is pathetic. Along with other reviews the way they mislead you with pricing is horrific and a disgrace. Basically all I can say is please never use this company and I can only hope anyone involved rots in hell and has a slow and torturing demise. Again with all due respect F&C$ these scumbags!

I listed and sold quite a bit of $$$… I listed and sold quite a bit of $$$ worth of merchandise on this site. It was a costly and frustrating experience and I finally had my account deleted. They are unprofessional and simply do not have the tools to handle returns, etc. Their website needs a major overhaul. Their excuse is that they are a small company with limited resources. Can't say in my 40 yrs of business in the Outdoor Industry, anyone every used that excuse before. Not selling themselves well to say the least. My cost in time was by far the most frustrating part, but for the commission they charge, more than EBAY, it of course makes zero sense for selling outdoor gear, new or used.

Gear Trade Was Great, But Beware Backcountry Products This review has been edited because Gear Trade was very helpful and responsive. The rest of this review is about "past season" Backcountry products: I bought Backcountry brand pants that are basically two backsides sewn together. Like a front butt side and a back butt side. I honestly thought these were knockoffs and brought it to their attention. They aren't. These were considered "past season," but I honestly think these were factory store quality /rejected by quality control pants. I own two pairs of the same past season Backcountry pants that I bought years ago. They don't have two butt sides. (And I have a pretty big butt and flat stomach--I always know immediately when I've put my pants on backwards). I find this situation misleading, as these were supposedly only discounted because they're past season. As much as I love their pants, I probably won't buy anything past season from Backcountry again.

Stay away from Geartrade!!! Stay away!!! Aweful experience with an order from Geartrade. They sent a completely wrong item in a correct box. To me, this means that there was a customer return (to Backcountry) and the customer scammed them or this was a parts takeoff from a compkete bike. Either way, no one confirmed that the product in the box was legit. Extremely frustrating! They sent a return label and I am waiting for my refund which they say they will send refund when the seller (Backcountry).Furthermore, their policy states that they don"t pay the seller until the item has been successfully received and accepted by the buyer. This means that you have my money and should refund me as soon as you got the email receipt from Fedex. I will never buy from Geartrade again and I spend a ton of money on outdoor gear. Geartrade is absolutely horrible. I can get an instant refund from Ebay and Amazon Warehouse...

Great place, good people! Will try to be short. Gear - almost anything you need for outdoor Availability - patience required, but also rewarded (waiting for someone to sell item you want takes time) Handling transactions - no issues, always in time Handling issues - (if you want return, etc) - outstanding! Overall - yes, I definitely recommend this (please log in after I checked the site, I want to get my item first! :))
