The InReach comes with a one year warranty. But used electronics are not covered by the warranty. You need a dated receipt to get the warranty. If something is wrong with the InReach, the buyer is stuck with it.
You can get a certified refurbished Garmin Inreach Mini with a warranty that starts the day you buy it from Amazon for $299. Also, Amazon has its own return policy for certified refurbished electronics: return it for any reason within 90 days and you get your money back, no questions asked. I got a refurb InReach a few months ago for $299. It was fresh in the box, and it worked perfectly.
I get that you're want to get some of your money back for a very expensive piece of equipment, but I think you're being greedy.
These are what I've always used, bought them a few times since I keep losing shit. But they're great, cheap - all you really need. No need to go crazy with an outrageously expensive pair, they all really work kind of the same - and you'll probably end up losing them once or twice.

Just a FYI this hoodie is being sold on Amazon for $194 with free shipping, though it's a different color. You might consider dropping the price a bit to remain competitve

This is an exact copy of the MSR Hubba Hubba on Amazon. It's a china knock off, but it's PURPLE and it's really nice. With footprint for $170. Mmmmmm. Have it, love it.
I was at Costco the other day and saw this one, I was thinking it would be perfect for festivals because you can set it up really fast without threading poles(think setting up in the rain), price was right too. It can fit 2 queen sized air mattresses.
Unfortunately, it does not.

I’ve got a Paria 15 degree quilt that I’m looking to part with. Used one night. Nothing wrong with it, was just waiting on another quilt and needed something quickly. I think 150, shipping included, is fair. DM me if you’re interested.

Not sure if you are married to the idea of the MSR specifically, but if you are open to other options, the BRS 3000T is on Amazon for $16, which is 1/3 the cost of the MSR. It's very popular in the ultralight community, and I rarely see anyone complain about it. Mine hasn't failed and I've got a solid 30 meals cooked with it.
fully recognizing this isn’t what you asked for, but i’m throwing a recommendation in the ring: inexpensive, and comfortable af.

I’ve used a similar one by Alps Mountaineering Alps M Mummy Liner and it did the job. Have since upgraded because they’re bulkier than I’d like but it’s within the price range you’re looking for.
Just a suggestion too if you're looking for budget
Naturehike Taga 2 - I'm in love with this tent. I've taken it in torrential downpours and not a drop inside the tent. And it's lightweight and the one storage bag is big enough to also hold the tarp, poles, and takes.
I don't have anything to trade/for sale, but I recently bought myself a Snugpak Jungle Blanket to throw over my HammockGear topquilt: https://www.amazon.com/Snugpak-92246-Jungle-Blanket-Olive/dp/B00CJFOAZK/ref=sr_1_4?crid=4B0O2GDYZV7F&dchild=1&keywords=snugpak%2Bjungle%2Bblanket&qid=1604084394&sprefix=snugpak%2Bjungl%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-4&th=1
I like that it is synthetic and has a water-resistant outside-facing coating, as this makes it a little less likely to get damp with exhaled air that condenses when the temperature dips at night. In the summer, my kid can take it to Scout camp and I won't worry so much about it getting ruined (like I would with a nice down topquilt or sleeping bag).
Aeros knockoffs are all over. Like this one on Amazon Prime for $15:
In case you dont find a second-hand one here on Reddit, Theyre also on Amazon. Prices go up and down from $39-59. Currently most are about $50 depending on seller and color

So I have one of these that I'd sell you for $30. It's just been sitting in my closet. It's not UL but you can try cutting weight by swapping out the internal frame for one of these. I've done it and I think it's actually more comfortable that way. Just an idea.
Edit: I haven't modified it in any other way. Mostly sat in the closet because I think I have to stick with packs made for small torsos.
I don't have anything to sell you, just want to help you save some money. Don't spend your money on a "mess kit" -- instead do this:
- Make a SuperCat alcohol stove (~$1)
- Buy a grease pot ($9)
- Bring a spoon from your kitchen (free)
The cat food stove will get you funny looks from people that spent $100+ on jetboil setups from REI but it works great. The fuel (denatured alcohol) is also cheap as hell. I've been using one for years with zero issues.
Just saw someone who used the NU25 and a thin Nike headband like this Women's Nike Printed Headbands Assorted 6 PK https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01880SYGK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_sl4lFb308W7H9. Said it worked for hiking and jogging.
I just checked and couldn't find it either. Perhaps they haven't updated their website. I know for a fact they have them at their Bedford NH location because we just bought one for my wife yesterday.They didn't only have one either, there were quite a few and in a good selection of sizes. I was able to find it on Amazon though, this is exactly the same color she bought.

Klymit makes a great entry-level pad. I believe it's the Static V - they only weigh 18 oz. which is a great start for backpacking weights. Currently selling for $40 on Amazon for the old valve styles. I have this pad and couldn't recommend it enough, might suit your needs too.

You can get these on amazon for less than retail. The orange color is under 24 right now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072WFQ44B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_feDTCb68FJDCB And you can get the neon yellow on columbia’s site for about the same with free shipping.
I've replaced the battery twice, once before starting the JMT and another time before a motorcycle tour up to Alaska. I've never seen the battery life indicator come up and I'd always use it in 5 minute tracking. I don't actually know how long the battery last, but if I'd have to guess, about a year with heavy use. You have to use lithium AAA's though. They maintain their voltage for the life of the device.
>Though, won't help me much against the griz and lions, but maybe if I break something lol...
Ha! I hear you. I was on a bike when I encountered a grizzly and her cubs and totally felt safe. The mountain lion was on a trail and staring right at me. That was actually actually concerning. The tracking is nice just in case they needed to find the body. I typically have people look at the tracking page sporadically and they know what to do if they see I haven't moved for too long.
I have a Klymit 20* down bag I'd sell for $100. It's the one linked below in black and gray. Had it for 2 years. But only used on 1 trip for 3 nights. Stored uncompressed in a tote in my garage the rest of the time.

I'm going to honest with you. In my opinion, if you're spending less than $90, you're buying something that will be needing a replacement within the first couple treks. I've had my Kelty Redwing 50 for years and it has never let me down once. I have a bigger pack for longer treks, which are few and far between lately, but for the most part the Redwing is my go-to. Its a bit pricier than what you're looking to spend, but I promise you it till last you many year, and many miles. My wife uses an Osprey Stratos which she loves, but I personally find the Kelty so much more comfortable to wear for extended periods. Again, a bit pricier than you're looking to spend, but I'm a believe that when it comes to things like packs, boots, and tents, you get what you pay for, so spending the extra money once make a bit more sense to me than spending a lesser amount multiple times. Hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any other gear questions! Happy travels!
Can buy those brand new for like $80. Also, sharing shoes?
Your mileage may vary, but personally I think this tent by Alps Mountaineering is stellar for the cost. All I have had to do since I've owned it is retreat the bottom to keep it waterproof.
I've always believed ankle support to be important, but comfort to be more important haha. I have two pair of identical Vasque Breeze 2.0 GTX which I wear more than the Vans my wife bought me because they're so comfortable. I don't have any hiking shoes, but my wife LOVES her Merrell Siren Sport shoes. I agree with your small hike with a loaded pack idea. That's how I tested my Redwing, and the Redcloud, and the Vasques.. I loaded the pack like I was preparing for a weekend trek and did about 6 miles. Are you relatively new to things like this, or just trying to get back into it?
You're posting on a public board; so you should expect criticism when acceptable and deal with it.

Got a zlite style ccf pad (folding) and a hyke and byke 15 deg down bag coming from Amazon as well. Bag comes with a compression sack. Rest of my gear is gonna be either gear from my military days, some surplus, and some backpacking gear. Following the Frugal Backpacker list that starts under $300. Replaced some items as I plan on doing some 14ers and stuff :)
Check out the Kelty Cosmic Down 20.
Sorry to do this but you can pick up a new pair on amazon with color options for around 50$ on amazon including two day shipping. Your price seems a bit steep for being used. https://www.amazon.com/Merrell-Crush-Light-Trail-Running/dp/B00YB4FM2M?th=1&psc=1
Wow this is odd timing haha - I have an enormous pair of stargazing binocs that I've not gotten to use nearly as much as I thought.
Er, actually I'll probably sell them locally - I paid $150 but see they've gone down to $120 so it's probably not going to be worth the risk on shipping something heavy and delicate for what they would go for used:

I used this on the AT and it got down to 21F and felt toasty except for my feet, I would say taking it to zero would be the absolute bare minimum though, and you'd better be wearing some down/layering up.

Actually, seeing that link I posted, I'm asking $50 for the fly and snake skins.
Your best bet is to look at the Eagle Claw Fiberglass Rods, They are well known and well loved as cheap good rods.
I also have this rod, Its a nice little cheap rod with a different feel from the fiberglass. I don't know anything about the reel they offer here. I just have the rod. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C2KTZCY/ref=twister_dp_update?_encoding=UTF8&th=1&psc=1
Look for an old Martin or other "blue collar" used reel on ebay. That will get you a much more solid setup than some all in one kit.
With the knockoffs available for $13 now - getting $60 for these is going to be hard. They are wonderful pillows though.

I have been so broke this week, been trying to sell this thing forever since it's just sitting here and I'll never use it. posted it first $30, then $15, now $5. Honestly I just need some beer money. Shipping will prob be about $12 and it will go out mon. morning. the exact model is the Okuma Cascade S-903-5, it's 9' long and apparently 5 weight. Handle is still shrink wrapped. This seems to be the model, except mine is just the rod, doesn't come with the reel. I can do paypal. Thanks for taking a look
It's prob worth more but I could really use the extra money right now and it's just sitting around. Shipping will prob be about $12. the exact model is the Okuma Cascade S-903-5, it's 9' long and apparently 5 weight. Never used it, a friend gave it to me when he was moving out. Handle is still shrink wrapped. This seems to be the model, except mine is just the rod, doesn't come with the reel. I can do paypal. Thanks for taking a look

Is this the same watch? If so you may have it a little overpriced. A quick search found that Amazon has it in dusk grey for 236 bucks new. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00II85VG4/ref=twister_B004PBZI16?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 EDIT: Just saw the new post you put up nvm!
My buddy uses this tent. He likes it a lot and I've seen lesser quality for over double the cost. Slightly over budget, but it's brand new

After shipping and everything, you may as well just buy brand new.
Wonderful. It's cheap, light, and does exactly what I need it to do.
duffle bag i have at the moment it has 50kg of sand in it and it's fine to throw around.
You'll need to buy some heavy duty garbage bags or something similar from the local hardware store to line it so the sand dosen't get out. Also duct tape and zip ties to secure the top.
You could try this out. I have the larger version and it works pretty well. Not really high-end, but it gets the job done. I am a pretty big guy, and mine fits me pretty well.
I don't actually have one to sell, BUT, I can tell you to keep your eye out online for the Kelty Cosmic Down 20 Bag .
You can definitely find good deals on them, I'll keep any eye out as well and post here if I catch one.
I just picked up the Long version of the bag I linked off of www.sierratradingpost.com but it seems like they're sold out now. I got what is usually around a $180 for $85! (plus shipping so right around $100) Again, that was the long. So I assume you can get a deal around the same or less.
Took it out the week I got it here in Kentucky, weather was about 22 degrees and I was in a hammock. No complaints at all.
All the colors listed on Amazon are previous season's colors.

I'm not trying to rip any one off.

> packs small and is very heavy
Is this a typo or are you really looking for something heavy?
I have an old teton 20F bag. It's used but well cared for. It was my husband's bag for backpacking, he is 6'1" and it fit him nicely. We upgraded to quilts this winter, and we are waiting on them to ship as we speak. I may be interested in selling his if he likes the quilt. I also have an older model 30F eureka silver city bag that I used (likely not long enough or warm enough for what you specified though). Both pack down fairly small for budget bags and fit nicely in our backpacks.
