akarunway 1 #26 September 25, 2009 Quote Quote Quote I would like to repeat what I advised you in a personal message - DON'T BUY SOMETHING TILL YOU HAVE JUMPED IT! Does that work for women too? It's a lot cheaper to just rent those. If it floats, flys or fucks it's cheaper to rent it! I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
likestojump 3 #27 September 25, 2009 Quote My exit wieght is 200 ( im 170, and assuming a rig is 30 pounds) im 5'11, and kinda small build. C17 harness willl be too short for you. you would be much better and more comfortable using a C18. not matter how the rig had been rebuilt, I can still spot an old Javelin hiding under that owly rig :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #28 September 25, 2009 Some great advice here, kid. Listen to your friends.And remember, used rigs are like city buses. There's always going to be another come along in a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydiverbry 0 #30 September 25, 2009 I think it's kinda pricey...real pricey!! Won't let a rigger inspect it?Not cool! J5 is an aweful big container system for ya don't ya think? Looks?Well that's all in the eye of the beholder but I'm not fond of it. In my thoughts?I'd surely would pass on this deal!!

Ketia0 0 #31 September 25, 2009 Thanks guys for all your help.. Yes i did pass up the deal. So i am rigless for now. I want to buy used because i know 1. It *may* get dirty if i biff some more landings like i have...2. After talking to alot of people, i think i will be ready to downsize from 230 to 210, then down to 190. Im thinking about buying a 190, and jsut waiting to use it till i can fly it. That will put me with a W/L of 1.05:1 anywho. we will see what the future holds... im optomistic "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds.

Bibliophile 0 #34 September 25, 2009 QuoteSo i am rigless for now. I am rigless, too, and there is no shame in that. Plus, remember: it is better to be rigless and still have your money than to be without both."You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

somethinelse 0 #36 September 25, 2009 oh dude. Do NOT do PayPal gift. They track sales and have lots of safety and security guidelines but NOT for gift. That's suppose to be strictly for like cash wires to friends and family. Sound fishy to me. I just sold a rig thru the classifieds here, and went thru PayPal as a seller, and she as a buyer. Legit. Be careful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
