I'm going to jump on the bandwagon since I was just looking at some of my excess gear (I'm only posting non-competing items, of course :wink: )

Mountain Hardwear Waypoint 1 Person Tent. - I'm asking 125 (MSRP 195), it's only been used once.

GCI Ultralight Sling Chair - I'm asking 25 (I think the MSRP is around 40), I've never used this chair, it's only been set up a couple times.

I've also got an REI UL45 pack. I'll let it go for 20 (it's seen some use but it's not broken)

(Glommed from REI's site) >> Just because you are a certain height — say a 5'9" female or 6' male — does not mean you automatically need a "large" or "tall" pack. Your torso length, not your height, determines your pack size. Here's how to measure yours:
Have a friend locate the bony bump at the base of your neck, where the slope of your shoulder meets your neck. This is your 7th cervical (or C7) vertebra. Tilt your head forward to locate it more easily.
a) Using a flexible tape measure, your friend should start at that spot and measure downward along your spine.
b) Place your hands on your hips so you can feel your iliac crest, which serves as the "shelf" of your pelvic girdle. (It's the first hard thing you feel when you run your fingers down from the sides of your ribcage.) Position your hands so your thumbs are reaching behind you.

Image
c) Have your friend finish measuring at the point where the tape crosses an imaginary line drawn between your thumbs. This distance is your torso length.
Use your torso length measurement to find your best pack size.
Generally, manufacturers size their pack frames something like this:
Extra Small: Fits torsos up to 15-1/2"
Small: Fits torsos 16" to 17-1/2"
Medium/Regular: Fits torsos 18" to 19-1/2"
Large/Tall: Fits torsos 20" and up
On REI.com's product pages, you can find the torso range for each pack size listed just above the spec chart.
If your measurement is right on the border (say, 17-3/4"), it's best to visit an REI store to try on both sizes of that pack. REI's product line includes adult packs sized to fit torso lengths as compact as 12" (10" for children) and as long as 23". If your measurement lies outside that range, you might require a custom-built pack.

If someone needs a backpack, buy Kurt's NOW! (if it fits you...)

That's the bag I'm currently using and despite it's "revolutionary" design I think it's top notch.
