Not sure if this should go here or in the gear section, but found this craigslist for a Javelin rig for sale too good to be true maybe. Here is the link if anyone knows someone or is missing gear. It was posted in the Milwaukee list, link will be below. Red and Black Javelin S/N 11391, Cypress and not sure on the main.

seems like a reasonable deal to me, everything is from early nineties including the cypress ( so it would be expired)

If you think that's too good to be true I've got one just like that that I'll sell you for $2500.

That's an appropriate price for the equipment. No signs of stolen to me.

Super Raven 4 - that adds a $1000

Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

Hell, I only paid about $500 for my new custom super raven IV. Must have been the best investment I ever made!

Does not ring of a skydiver. The terminology is askew.

Quote

Skydiving Parachute; Sunpath Javelin Harness/Container P/N 101C19 Model J7N.

The headline says Skydiving Parachute, but the first thing they describe is the container. It is obviously more than just a "Skydiving Parachute." I think a skydiver would have said, container, main, and reserve parachutes for sale.

Quote

Main is an 18 panel (9cell) unit. Not sure of cubic inch dimension.

We haven't described parachutes by panels or measured them by cubic inches in many a fortnight, which would be an analogous way of measuring time.

Trying to sell it before an estate sale, found, bought at a garage sale, result of a divorce, some weird acquisition, but not for sale by a skydiver.

Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

that was more my point I guess. The description didn't sound like someone who would know what is going on. I am still new to the sport myself to know the prices of all the equipment, but it just seemed fishy to me. Thought I would throw it out there, just in case.

I guess if it is an okay deal, then I helped make a sale. lol

Pics show S/N of Harness/Container.

Text of ad mentions that it was jumped at SkyKnights in East Troy.

That sort of stuff isn't something a thief would likely post.

And it's an easy call to East Troy to check it out.

Some of us can still remember when rigs didn't cost $8,000.00? My first new rig was $1500 complete.
