  4. What is up with my situation?? ok, I am looking to buy a used spectre 170 for my first canopy so I look a lot on here for one. I found one advertised, but it was being sold with an entire rig, so i emailed the seller and he agreed to sell it separately to me. i send him the money and he sends the canopy to my dz.... only when i got it, it was a shilouette!! this dude totally lied in his ad and sold me a different canopy. when i called him out on it, he got pissed at ME, and told me i had to pay him back his shipping expense. he went on to tell me how my "aggressiveness" toward him was breaking the code of skydivers... but isnt that what he did by being dishonest in the first place? my check wasnt cashed yet though, so thats a good thing. but in my short experience with buying used gear online, it seems to have proven to be not so cool. i have found a few shady sellers out there and this situation just made me so upset that i had to get it up here to see what other people think and if anyone else has experienced something like this? what is the deal? any thoughts??

  • Hey everyone out there in the dz.com world:) I've been reading these forums for a few months now and just decided it would be a good idea to post!! I must spend 8 hours a day on this website while I'm at work... gee, not much to do being a summer intern I guess! Anyhow, I'm also a newbie to the sport and had something horrible happen to me. I broke my right elbow (see my forum profile) and snapped the ligament last week and already had intensive surgery for it. That means I'm out for 2 months. B| That REALLY blows since I want to jump all the time and I just bought all my gear finally. I can't wait to get back in the air again and to jump my gear for the first time. Introduce yourselves to me.... I'm Alana, 21 yrs old, and I go to Ohio University.

    PLEASE REPLY:)
