darkwing 4 #2 February 6, 2005 Bill Booth gave me a free rig once. I consider that a good deal. I also got a free main and reserve from ParaFlite. It was a good year. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TALONSKY 0 #3 February 6, 2005 I try to buy as much stuff used as I can. When I first started skydiving I bought a Safire 169 with 200 jumps for $500.00 and just recently bought a protrak for $130.00 both from this web site. I also bought a VX 109 with 200 jumps for $1000 from www.enclave.com. Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #5 February 6, 2005 As stated more then a couple of times in the forums... Finding the cheapest gear dealer isn't always the best option. Having a good deal dealer that can answer your questions and that truely take care of their customer's needs (you'll have stuff pop up before, during and after the transaction) is really a good idea.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
