ncfitzge 0 #1 December 10, 2005 Well I am just wondering how many of you have sold stuff to skydive. I have a gaming laptop that I use for a media player on my theatre that I am thinking about selling. I just bought my first rig which cost 5K and being in the military it will take about 2 years to pay off. I was just tired of paying $25 rental fee each time I jump, which is up to 10 times a weekend. Anways, just a thought Fitz#148 Sonic Scrat "Have you ever kissed a rabbit between the eyes?"

jjiimmyyt 0 #5 December 10, 2005 I was once told a story (and he's got a lot of them) by rigger_john on here. I was doing AFF at the time and asked him when he thought he was a skydiver. He said when he looked at his TV ad thought 'how many jump tickets is that worth'. But in a funny northern accent "This isn't an iron lung, people.

ncfitzge 0 #6 December 10, 2005 Well right now, I look in my living room and ask myself, Why do I need a $2000 stero and a $2000 gaming laptop that is just used to watch movies??? Right there could almost buy my new rig and I could use that $400 payment towards my credit card to actually skydive.... I would list them right now, but I am drunk and I will wait till tomorrow hehehe.#148 Sonic Scrat "Have you ever kissed a rabbit between the eyes?"
