$100 - REI WOMEN'S RIDGELINE 65 BACKPACK - Size Medium - $100
I bought this pack when it debuted in 2007 because at 4.4lbs, it was one of the lightest full-featured packs on the market at the time, but with a very reasonable price tag ($185). This was my go-to backpack for multi-day trips and I used it several times back then -- then it sat in my gear closet unused for several years until I used it this past October. It's probably been used for 15-20 days, total, and has been kept in a pet free, smoke free home.
It's in very good condition, a couple of stains here and slight wear, but no rips, tears, or any damage that compromises the pack in any way. I am only selling it because it's a size medium and while it fit okay when I was heavier (guess my extra pudge kept it up!), when I used it this past fall after a few years' hiatus, it just wasn't fitting right. Turns out I actually have an XS torso!
I am asking $100+ shipping (CONUS). Paypal preferred.
