I was wondering if anyone knows what the going price is for a Gossemer Gear The One?

I have one of the first generation, still in great shape with one tiny defect that has a simple work-around - nothing that compromises weather or bug protection. I really like this tent, but I just ordered a Hexamid Solo plus today to cut my weight down and to give CF a try. I'm also very recently retired, and working on reducing inventory in all my addictions - backpacking and photography. Taking some baby steps toward minimalism.

Anyway, I like it enough that I'll hold off selling it if I can't get a halfway decent price for it, but haven't really found any sales posted on ebay or here recently. I know there is sometimes a flurry of folks looking for one, and GG no longer makes them. I just don't really know what price to even start off at. I know my minimum that I would even consider it worthwhile to sell. Anyone have knowledge of recent sales?

An UNUSED one in new condition sold on ebay for about $300 a few months ago.

Its pretty normal to get $150-175, and some have gone for $200-250 to the right buyer.

Its a sought after shelter for the PCT by those that dont want to pop for cuben. Ive got one and its a little quirky pitch but a very storm worthy design. Mine has heavy sealing and weighs 18oz in the stuffsak. Not bad.

Thanks, I'll be thinking it over. Hard to give up something that you know you can't replace easily. :)

Agreed. I will not sell my Garuda Atman tent for that reason.
