Click here to read more about these kind of scams.

Remember:

  • DO NOT do business with anyone who offers to send you payment for a higher amount than your selling price with the understanding that you'll send back the balance.

  • Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be acting on behalf of a "client" or another "customer".

  • Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from Nigeria or West Africa

  • If you agree to accept a check payment, then do not send anything, gear or "change" before the check cleared. And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check.

  • If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is.

Hi Jean

(I'm assuming Jean from your email address)

I will send more pics if I can find any on my laptop (I'm away from home
until 30 Nov).

The general condition is very good, I took excellent care of my gear, never
packed outside, I stood up just about every landing, I am including a brand
new pilotchute as the original was not as positive as I like.

The Cypres I bought new with the container and it's in for it's 4 year and
batteries right now.

Final price depends on where you can pick it up or where I have to ship to.

Where are you located and do you have travel plans soon?

Also, what is your weight, skydiving experience and current gear?

thanks
Sam

PS - you can call me on
