50% off wings certificates for sale.

[Nightingale 0]

I had a wings certificate that I'd won in a raffle, and I didn't want to use it (I'd just bought my gear), and I mentioned it to a friend. He did the math on what he was actually saving between using the certificate and buying through a dealer, and we split the difference. He still saved money, and I had some pocket money for jump tickets.

Only $300? Aint that better than nothing? Let me see...$300 divided by $21 (the cost of a slot at SSM) 14 jumps for FREE!!! I agree I used it to get my better half to let me buy a container "Baby it will be a $800 savings!" Whatever, it worked and I got a brand new container!

Sure it is.. I was just letting you know that it was not the 800 you thought it was.

i agree, its pretty bad to see these things going for that high.

at my old DZ, if someone who got it didn't need it, they would give it to someone who did.

I got a 50% off wings one that way from someone, and I've given away certificates before too. I think thats the way it SHOULD be done.

There's another one of these for sale. Just for the record, I bought one on here for a very reasonable price and it worked out for both of us. But I'm a new jumper and this thread helped me understand the value of these things, so I wanted to put it out there again.

Thats excellent i am glad it helped someone.

There is a micron one for sale for $800 !!! on the site now.
That is just ridiculous.

i cant believe that someone is trying to sell it again for a price of $450 usd.

The thing that guts me more is that it sounds like one i gave away considering it is valid until june and is in the uk.

Word, 450 is a ripoff. I'm a finance geek and made this spreadsheet (attached) to assist my gear purchase. It assumes different dealer prices. If it's informative at all to people considering buying one of these, than my geekiness has paid off.

i just wish someone could do something about stopping this from happenning.

Out of couriosity, how DOES a person get a Wings Discount voucher? As I am in the works of purchasing my first rig. (Yes I know that I should buy used gear first... but that should be left for another thread, as not to Hijack this one!!!)

They are given away at boogies and more or less promos.

I just so happen to have a couple.

$450 is insane. I had one, couldn't use it since I just ordered a container a week before I got the cert, sold it here for $100. The buyer saved a lot more than that, I made a little, everyone's happy.

Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda

exactly. That is very fair. you get something for winning the cert and sell it at a fair price, at the same time the buyer buys something that helps them save some money. nothing wrong with that. win win situation for both people.
