    NoGround Poles

    I have a pair of NoGround poles. I assume if you clicked on this you know what they are but basically these are a set of trekking poles that also work as hammock stands when trees aren't available. These also have the 9" tarp section so you can hang your hammock and tarp. These also have the option to be used as a (36") spreader pole. These are virtually brand new. I took them on one trip where we hiked in (using the poles) for less than 2 miles and while sleeping my DIY hammock failed (rip right down the side). Hiked back with the poles and put them in the car for the rest of the trip (and of course grabbed my gathered end hammock. The stakes have seen 0 use and no hammock or tarp has ever been hung on these.

    I paid $263.05 and while these are innovative and I have no issues are just something I find myself not using/needing.

    I am asking over $50 off (20%) at $210 (+3% PayPal fees) shipped to the lower 48. Please ask any questions or specific pictures. I'm going to try to get some on here but everything I take just looks like a pile of dissembled poles and doesn't offer much clarity.

    Do they work okay as trekking poles? I was always intrigued by the idea of these but they look like they would make for fairly clunky trekking poles. You must feel the weight of them versus standard trekking poles.

    I'm probably not a good person to ask (as far as compared to other poles) because I don't normally use trekking poles. I can say I didn't find them to be 'clunky' and they performed just fine but that's completely subjective of course.

    I know you did not word it as such, but rule 8 would imply that the fee has to be paid by the seller, so maybe the mod will suggest a fix to this.

    8. If PayPal is used you may not use the "Send money to family or friends" payments option. You must use the "Pay for goods or services" option.

    Edit: my apologies.

    Seller is allowed to request buyer pay PP fees if they chose to. That is not Friends and Family where are there no PP fees.

    The trekking pole assembled is 3 poles. I am going to add a photo above to show one assembled next to one disassembled.
