Hey skydivers!
I bet quite a few ppl already asked this kind of question, and I am therefore very sorry to do it too, but I need your help!
Here's it:
I did AFF last year and were able to do about 60 jumps since then. Now it is about time to get my first own gear - unfortunately I have this feeling I get cheated on anytime I wanna buy a rig! I did check out a couple, but anytime I showed that rig to another person than the owner, ppl told me that the rig was shitty and the price way too much. So right now I am pretty careful about buying a rig or not.
Anyways, this is what was offered me now:
Container: JAVELIN dom: 1992 (I know it is old, bit it is in really good shape since it was not jumped that often - had it just checked, too)
Main: Sabre1 150sqft. dom: 2000 (I was told about 400 jumps)
Reserve: MicroRaven 150sqft. dom: 92
AAD: Cypres 2 Expert dom: 2005
The current owner offered the equipment to me for 2200 Euros ( equals approx. 2900 US-$). Now my question: DFo you think this is an acceptable price for that equipment? For some reason this sounds a little too much to me (although it includes a CYPRES2)! Dunno whether I am right or not - what do you guys think about it??? What would you pay for that? I'd be sooo happy for some response - I really want to get a rig (btw I can't afford a new one right now) cause I am just addicted as u to that wonderful sport!
Thank you so much in advance!
Always blue skies and safe landings,
Nico
