sounds like a reasonable price to me. Take retail and subtract 35% and you get dealership cost. 225 jumps is really not that many jumps to put on a canopy. It is probably just broken in and easier to pack. Have fun and be carefull.

you can buy a brand new sabre 2 170 today for less then that. In a stock color of course. PM me to find out where.

Dealers can't buy it new that cheap.

Unless it's a stolen canopy there's no way a DEALER is able to sell it for that little.

$1350 is a good price.

Just for public information, Jee has proved that there is in fact a dealer advertising Brand New Sabre2 canopies in their stock for the price of less then $1350.

So let me :

a) apologize if anybody even remotely thought that I was suggesting Jee is peddling stolen goods
b) politely stuff my foot in my mouth
c) ask for anybody to explain to me how this is possible.

Is it from someone you personally know? Usually with that few jumps someone is trying to dump a problem. If you cant personally test jump it ask someone that can.Does it open off heading a lot or in turns , or very hard no matter what? If the price is where it is and claims are made to get a brand new one cheaper,why choose this one.How close is it to colors you want?For the DOM time lapse, was it on a dealer shelf or a back-up as it averages 10 jumps a month?

The fact that the dealer's name hasn't been publicly posted should tell you something... like maybe the dealer doesn't want PD to find out they aren't abiding by the dealer agreement...

I'm only guessing, of course.

The dealer agreement limits what you can sell it for?

I'm not familiar with how skydive gear distributors work, so I dont doubt it. I'm just more familiar with agreements that only limit the price you're allowed to advertise

[bigway 4]

The PD agreement is that you are only allowed to sell their canopies for the MSRP. You may not discount their canopies. This has been in affect for about two years now.

Pd have done this to help everyone out including the person who tries to sell their second hand canopy. They are trying to retain the value on their canopies.

Anyone who is selling PD products for less is in breach of their agreement. If PD was to know and to take aways a gear stores agreement then that gear store could be in serious financial trouble considering PD are pretty much the highest selling canopies.


Not all Manufacturers have this in their agreement.... but PD does and they are serious about it.
