snowslider 0 #1 October 7, 2006 Hey People, I am curious if you think this is a good deal. I'm not going to be able buy a rig for more than this any time soon. I want to learn to pack and I don't like showing up at the dz and not having a rig that is suitable for me. Thanks $1200 Container: Rigging Innovations/Talon, DOM: 24 Nov 92, SN.5946 Main: Performance Designs 210, DOM: Dec 92, SN. 2109730 Reserve: Paraflite Swift 175, DOM: Feb 92, SN. R6-4150 AAD: Cypres/Expert DOM: Oct 94, SN 2140DASE5BC622 50 The main has ~180 jumps on it, and is in immaculate, like-new, well cared for; lines are in great condition, always rigger maintained and packed indoors on carpet.

skybytch 273 #2 October 7, 2006 $1200 for that rig is way overpriced. The container is not freefly safe. It's worth about $200. The main is all F111. Do not load it over 1.0. It's worth about $200. The reserve is an older design. Do not load it over 1.0 (ie if you weigh more than about 150 pounds, it is too small for you). It's worth about $300. The Cypres becomes a doorstop in about 3 months, assuming that it had it's 4 & 8 year checks and got a new battery within the past 2 years. It has no value. If you really can't afford anything newer, it will work to get you in the air. Be sure to have a rigger give it a complete inspection before making the sale final.

Doing so here is extremely bad form. -SPACE- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
