Bandit Man
mntlion
ptex1
Pablo Escobar
Spinal Tap
b dubya
skiman1009
sethschmautz
J-Rad

I may have forgotten one or two.

**sethschmautz** · 05-13-2008, 02:57 PM

Hev - I received bike shoes before he accepted payment
Lingcod - skis in immaculate condition, met a friend for pickup, and didn't charge me until after the pickup was made
mtskier - hooked me up with rack deals and then held them for me for a couple of weeks until I could arrange a pickup
Hugh Jass - gave a great deal on a Patagonia shell in great (albeit smelly) condition
Schindlerpiste - I'm pretty sure the skis shipped before I paid. I got them ridiculously fast.
5B - for a great hookup on S900 carbon binders
Yossarian - for my first ski purchase from a very cool mag. Made purchasing quick and easy.
GrizzlyFD - for a sweet hookup on Dynafits

Wow. I bought a lot of stuff this year.

**GapersGoHome** · 05-13-2008, 03:03 PM

Let's see.... I know a lot of these guys have been around for DAYS, but... props, nonetheless:

El Chup - still enjoying the Dos XX Amber?

BSS - drove up to Reno, bindings were in primo condish
Jim S - showed up to my work, cash in hand (fully clothed, thank god.)
Powstash
Focus - AK's shipped with god knows how much padding and storage wax...
Ptex - well, 'cuz my bank account thanks him, and my skis have always shown up quickly.
Deutschmark - for a sweet hookup on an AT setup in exchange for some tasty brews.
Fritz - for another sweet hookup on a Tele rig that a buddy's using now to learn...
Marshal - for a nice deal on some 20-dins...
Gamma - for that Naxo group buy.
EastVailHucker - for a sick deal on some 'Bents. Skis shipped before check cleared.

I'd also like to thank the academy.

**hutash** · 05-13-2008, 03:48 PM

I can't even begin to list all the mags who have hooked me up, but a few standouts would be...

Yossarian
Marsholsen
Mtnlion
CJ
Smmokan

plus others that I don't remember off the top of my head.

Edit: How can I forget Splat? Didn't actually deal through gear swap, but he is stand up just the same.

**rideit** · 05-13-2008, 04:10 PM

Great dealings with:
Leroy Jenkins
Cono Este
Anon (some number)
DFinn
MTT
UAN
Woo (I think?)
Schwerty
Frozen
I am sure there are others...

**72Twenty** · 05-13-2008, 04:15 PM

BTW, another one of my large ski transactions was from cj001f - very good guy and gave me a helluva deal. I know he posts under another name now, but he's good people in my book.

Got the check, cleared it and sent the skis out. I sent the skis out on a Saturday and he had them in hand the following Monday. It worked out very well and I would certainly do a transaction with him again.

I agree with using caution for new posters, and remember not all of them are bad. We all had a low post count at one point. Except for iceman and Tippster. They were born with like 6,000 posts.

**Caucasian Asian** · 05-13-2008, 05:03 PM

I'd just like to say thanks to the people that made deals with me before I had much of a history here...Gear Swap would be a tough place to become involved in without trust.

**Lost in OC** · 05-13-2008, 05:28 PM

Meatdrink9 - great deal and the fastest shipping I have ever seen!

**seanpistol** · 05-13-2008, 05:30 PM

I recently did business with 40footer.

He sold me a pair of FKS 185's that were literally used twice for $100. I told him I wouldn't have the money until the end of the week and he shipped them to me before I even paid.

Stoked.

**Orthoski** · 05-14-2008, 02:35 AM

I'm pretty new to this forum, but was introduced by J-Rad whom I've known for years.

He's not only as trustworthy as they come, he's also the tallest guy I know that can't slam dunk a basketball.

**jwhitman36** · 05-14-2008, 06:25 AM

just wanted to give props to squatch. Good mag to deal with

**Hutch** · 05-14-2008, 06:31 AM

I have had rewarding gear swap transactions with

Inspector gadget
rotorhead
greguar
CS
mojorisin
teleposeur

**toiletduck** · 05-14-2008, 07:59 AM

I've had nothing but good experience with Gear Swap - can't remember all the names, but:

Conundrum, hooked me up 195 praxis
JefferyJim, hooked me up 185 praxis and held on to them for a few months 'till I arrived in Canada..
FilthyFrenchBum, bought JJ's old praxis post-upgrade and went without a hitch
Poop*Ghost, flipped me a Barryvox Pulse cheaply
mitch buchannon - shipped an oakley lense quick + cheap
Chris Knight - sent me some P14s uber fast
www.coloradofreeride.com - held on to some P4's all summer for me while I was in the UK when I bought some in their $300 summer sale
Arem86 - hooked me up some P14s without a hitch.
cascadianwarrior - did the holding thing again before I got to Canada, another great seller.

I bought a lot of gear this winter apparently

Not had a single problem though - Gear Swap is a great place.

**mnflyfish** · 05-14-2008, 08:48 AM

Repeating many:

Dfinn, MtLion, Ptex, and I bought a pair of Bros from one other person that I have to go back an look up the name. I've also sold and need to look up those names as well but all transactions have been flawless.
