How about creating a section where we can offer/buy/trade gear? Maybe it won't have a lot of things at first but who knows maybe it even become a place where people will turn to for useful stuff.
There's a local geocachers site I used to go to that had a thread in their forum to sell or trade equipment. We never had any problems with any dealings going on. Sometimes folks would arrange a meet up , others would use PayPal and ship stuff.
