This will give you some ideas.



But please, before you buy anything, talk to your instructors and rigger.

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey

A good *used* first rig should be obtainable for $4000. That will be nearly top-of-the-line beginner equipment with moderate use. You can go as low as $2500, so really anything in between is fair game without going over the top or below acceptable level. If you wish to get new, which is definitely not necessary, then you'll be paying closer to $5000 unless you go as cheap as possible.

These are rough estimates, but definitely something to go by.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

I just bought my first rig from the classifieds here:

Vector 3 - Very good condition

Spectre 210 - Only ~160 jumps

PD 193 Reserver - 2 rides?

Cypress 1 - Within 8 yr service period

Paid three grand, then another three hundred for Relative Workshop to install a skyhook, and inspect/repack everything.

-------------------------------

I used RW as the third party for the transaction. Only after they said the rig was good to jump, did I send any money
