Juuust starting out here and looking for some basic stuff. Couldn't hurt to try to look for used before I bought new.

Climbing rope: Looking for 150' of...whatever you may have.
Carabiners: looking for a few auto lockers.
A rope grab/flipline adjuster.
Throw bag/line/storage bag

And, just for the hell of it, a foot ascender. People seem to rave about the CMI..so I doubt anyone wants to get rid of one, but figured I'd ask anyway.
 
CMI is clunky trash. The petzl rigs are much better, if you cant handle the kick out just use a biner to secure it.
 
Can't say I seen the CMI but hear it's clunky. The petzl pantin is spot on, never had a problem with kickout but have heard dudes complain. I believe that maybe a technique problem but not really sure. Light and durable, it takes a beating. Would like a lefty now.
 
Buy new. Used gear is a crap shoot. You never know what it's been though. Even with the guys on the buzz you still really never know. It's much better to just buy new and you never have to worry.

Maybe a harness and throwline stuff but life supporting gear should be new so you can track it's use.
 
definitely buy new, all the gear you need to start is really only a day or two billings.

Buy from Treestuff, avoid Sherrill
 
Definately by new with the items you are looking for. You might be able to find a rope but biners and micoro grab are normally beat pretty good.
The CMI foot isnt as clunky as these guys may say and it aint trash. 223, you wear spikes on removals right? Its just something you gotta get used to. Not saying its for everyone but dont "trash" equipment just cause you dont like it. Maybe a positive note, it does not kick off.
 
Roger on the new stuff. I have a saddle, just need, well, the rest. Probably going do a treestuff order this coming weekend.
 
If you can hold out and try stuff, maybe with treehumper, you will find what you like without having to buy it to try it. very costly. best luck dude.

Ive got a 100ft of Tachyon that is brand new that i will sell you for $70 shipped and ill throw in some rope for a couple lanyards and enough HRC to make you a couple eye and eye's out of. I might have some other things to help you get started i can throw in. Let me know if you are interested.
