Subject: [pct-l] looking for used gear

I'm starting to plan my first PCT thru-hike for next summer. I'm a graduate
student and on a budget. I have all the "regular" backpacking gear I need,
but will try to make the gear transition to ultralight for next summer,
which seems like it will be a big investment.

Bottom line: Does anyone have any used gear they'd like to sell? I'm in the
market for just about everything. Most importantly:

Pack (< 2 lbs) and tent (<3 lbs, with bug protection) are the basics.

I understand that used gear might either be (1) worn out or (2) not worn out
because it had some other unfavorable qualities, so I'm not getting my hopes
up.

I'm also in the market for an ice-ax.

Any other sources or leads for cheap or used gear would also be appreciated.
