Hey, Edinburgh Uni Canoe Club are looking to buy some used snap on carabiner's for towing/rescuing boats on the river.

We are not looking for top quality Carab's just some that are past their best but still structurally sound enough to tow boats on a river. We are looking to pay around £5 per carabiner.

Let me know if your interested, Thanks

Snapgates or screwgates? I've got a fair few of the former I don't need anymore.

In reply to scotteucc: snap gates would be best, but either would do. how many would you be interested in selling?

For second hand krabs, I'd be looking at closer to £2-3 each. Even really old krabs will be very strong still.

In reply to scotteucc: thanks guys, i had no idea about karb prices!

In light of recent revelations would anyone be interested in selling second hand karbs for £2-3?

In reply to scotteucc: Hi, I'm just having a clearout as it happens. Can do you five (3 screw, one hms, one oval straight gate) if that's any good to you? £15 +postage at cost.

How many do you need? My mate has some as well.
