Good deal?

Recommended Posts

New to the sport and looking to purchase my first rig. I've come across this one and was wondering if it was a deal or not. All gear was assembled new in December 2002. The rig is as follows:

Wings container - All stainless hardware with articulated harness (10 jumps)
PD Sabre 2 210 main (10 jumps)
PD 193R reserve (0 jumps)
Cypress
Sunshine Factory gear bag
Bonehead Mindwarp Helmet
Goggles
Michigan RW Suit
Headfirst Freefly Suit
Altimaster III Galaxy altimeter

Price is $3,500. Let me know what you think.

If you bought all of that new, it would cost more tha $3500. So, since the canopy only has 10 jumps on it, I would say that it's a great deal with all the other things thrown in. I'd grab it if you need all of that equipment.

it sounds pretty good to me.

i mean, if you break down the prices

wings retail (with the options) like 1500
pdr retail 1157
sabre 2 1950
cypress retail like 1000.

so that's 4107

not a bad deal at all, considering the rest of the things you get

Sounds like a great deal, as long as it's right for you. The reserve is smaller than the main -- can you land it safely when you're freaked out by a reserve ride? If the main is the "right" size for you, you might want to make sure the reserve is too.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

not saying it's not a good deal.. but who pays retail? PLEASE tell you you don't pay that much for your equipment....

Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time

i put up the retail prices because that is letting him know how much he is getting off on the rig.
