Buying a used Vector System

[sky301 0]

Hey All,

A couple of us are taking the course right now, going to be working at a 182 DZ, and are actively looking for a used system, besides the classified here (which are usually great) where are some good leads on used systems, and what questions should we be asking? Obviously we are getting a tonne of good info here, but i'm just looking to spread out our search web and see what I can get for feedback out here in cyber world. Anything else you care to share will be cool too.

later, Mike

The back of Parachutist is a good place to look for a used rig. Also, Ralph Hatley generally have more than a few used ones. The classifieds at www.enclave.com are also a good source of used gear. Lastly, calling around to very-busy dropzones might be beneficial.

Lots of luck to you and Serge on the course , I wonder who gets to do the first Tandem once you get back in Moncton ???
Try and contact Rob Mowery , He might have his for sale .

Definitely invite your local Master Rigger/Rigger B (Dave Martin in Fredericton?) to inspect the complete rig before any money changes hands. If the Vector is more than 8 years old or has more than 2,000 jumps, you should seriously consider sending it to the Relative Workshop for inspection, repairs and updates.
8 and 13 inspections may not be mandatory on Vectors, but they are still good business practices.

Can't wait to get a few more tandems under my belt.
