You should probably indicate the size of the hip belt you ordered and
whether it has the optional stays.  Also, you should be aware that Gossamer
Gear had the same pack marked down to $144, or at least they did a few days
ago.

With that said, this is now my favorite pack. (I have an old Mountainsmith
Ghost and a new Six Moons Designs Starlite, as well) I bought mine the
spring before last in advance of my 2009 thru hike attempt.and initially
felt that it pulled back from my shoulders creating a strain and an
unbalancing of my center of gravity, a perceived defect that I atributed to
the absence of load lifters.  In reality, I was overloading the pack.  My
base pack weigfht was the problem.

This year, with a base pack weight of 8 pounds,  I love this pack.  Keeping
the total weight at the reccomended 20 pounds sans stays made all the
difference.  The sit pad is also a great feature.

If your reason for selling is related to the above, I'd urge you to give the
pack another shot.  If not, I'd reccommnd this pack to anyone looking for a
pack..
