Just checking. I'd like to purchase new if possible. Also this is a future purchase, gotta add other things first but just want to get a ball-park figure of what I'm looking at.

GOBI is awesome. Sturdy as all get out and their products have a quality look about them. Love it.

That is all.

That's what I have heard as well.

I bought one used (from ebay) about a year ago. The seller said it was only a year old and had the usual few scratches on it. When it arrived, it had major surface rust all over the place (the powercoating was peeling faster than a stripper in Surrey - Surrey is the hole of Vancouver). This is the cheapest piece of **** powercoated item I have ever seen. After my purchase, I've heard others say that Gobi is **** quality for their paint/powercoating. The rack may be sturdy and look good, but expect to get it professionally re-powercoated after a year or so.

Wow, you'd think for the price, they could at least paint the thing to last longer than a year. Maybe get the thing line-x'ed instead. Thanks for the heads up......Jamie

Not sure where you got the rack from or what the previous owner did to it. But I have the 6ft rack with tire carrier. Have had it for roughly 2 yrs and have abused it. No signs of anything related to powder coating wearing off or anything else. Also know others with gobis and no issues.

Maybe you just got a bad one

Should have bought it from Gobi then.

I emailed Gobi, and without question, they're sending me a new ladder. I didn't even ask for a new one. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.
