Never tried E-Bay, but I was able to sell my rig here on dz.com.

Just sale it here, best spot on the net.
What is it that you're trying to get rid off?

Haven't sold any there, but I bought two brand new, still in sealed box cypreses for $820 each. Deal!

Why would you want to sell your gear on EBay? Most everyone looking for new gear will check here and envlave.com, both are free, EBay is not.

I've had my gear on sale here and at enclave, plus a couple of other places for like three months and havn't had one bite. Kinda weird seeing as though I'm selling it so cheap, just to dump it.
BTW, Its a Mirage M1 with a Dash MZ 135 reserve and a Safire 119 main. For $2000

We're currently looking for a set of gear on the DZ classifieds it's been hard because the ads usually skip important info.

What's important to someone buying a container (for instance)?
Brand and model
Size of main and reserve trays
Size of harness
Extra features
Condition
Age
Price

You know what? Hardly any ad answer all of this. In fact, the most common missing item is one of the most important: size of harness. Come on, guys: tell us if the rig is for someone 6'3, 230# or 5'3, 130#. It matters! And don't use the brand's sizing codes -- tell us in feet and inches and pounds (of course, meters and kilos would be fine, too. )

I don't know how many ads we've read that described the perfect container except then just skipped the harness size question. No, we're not going to write to a dozen people asking for more info. Just put it in there in the first place. Thanks.

Actually put both, cause don't forget just cause someone is 5'6 doesn't mean they have the same length torso as the next 5'6 person they might actually have the torso the same size as someone 5'4 or 5'8.

So put the size of the person, that way if it looks like it might fit, the buyer can email the MFGer to find out if it will indeed fit via the harness size.

Even better, although it's a big programming job, would be individual fields in the classifieds database for each rig's measurements. Then it would be a snap to build a powerful search routine. ("SELECT * FROM classifieds WHERE harness_size > '5.5' AND harness_size < '6.0' AND brand = 'infinity' AND main_size = '150' AND reserve_size = '150' AND price < '1000.00'")

Sorry, Sangiro. I know you're busy. But I can dream, right?
