$12.73 for the filter, though it's worth much less.

C'mon Ben. Everyone knows that the shipping you're offering is used and has some minor cosmetic wear. I wouldn't be surprised if its not even authentic. Don't even get me started on the handling... 300 rupees. Max.

Hey -- I'll have you know that I only use American shipping company -- and they are fairly priced! Like that pack maker says all the time, most of you don't know squiddily squat about costs!! So there.

Nope. I ain't giving out my address to no strangers! Not after reading this!!

Although, I did meet up with a male forum member at our local park once, so he can show me his new SMD Starlite pack! :)

"Funny I am amazed at how many size small and medium stuff I see for sale. I don't know if it's wishful thinking. Either that or there are a bunch of eighth graders trading here. That's why the interest in UL. When 13 pounds is 10% of your body weight."

+1

In my mind, everyone here is 5'6" and 130lbs.

"In my mind, everyone here is 5'6" and 130lbs."


I almost fit that description, except my proportions make me fatter! I'm 5'4" and about 152ish these days.

And while there's definitely plenty of gear in my size range, I often feel like half the people on this site are 6'0", what with all the long size bags I notice all over the place.

It's probably just a matter of overlooking gear that fits because it isn't what we want, and wishing the gear for sale that wouldn't fit us did so that we could complain about the price or quality.

That said, I'm pretty sure that purifier wouldn't fit me, so I'm not even going to make an offer.

Gear Swap Cops , when they disrupt a sale for no reason other than their gut said to start typing, should pay a restocking fee of 35% to the seller.

I've reconsidered. $6.13 for the filter. You pay shipping. I'm doing you a favor at this point.

Can I pay in nickels and pennies? But you'd have to pay postage for me to send all that coin to you. It's heavy!
