pricing a used canopy

[Nightingale 0]

I have a silhouette 190 I'm thinking of selling. It has about 800 jumps on it, and got a new line set less than 100 jumps ago. Good condition. a patch or two where the twigs at elsinore snagged the topskin. dom 1999.

I have no idea what I should ask for it. I've seen pricing formulas for ZP and for F-111, but the silhouette is a hybrid canopy so I don't know what category it fits in, if any.

Anyone got any ideas?

Figure new $1500- $800 ($1 per jump) $700ish. Maybe minus a bit per patch. Depending on the colors you might have to reduce the price even more. In Cali things hold their value a bit more then else where so you have that going for you.

I'm told the formula is to subtract a dollar per jump on the canopy from the original price.

So, that Sabre...how much are you willing to pay me to take it?

Are they really $1500 new though when you figure the discounts you usually get from dealers? In any case, $700 sounds high. Currently in the classifieds I'm seeing a 98 with 700 jumps for $480 and another one with 20 jumps for $1000.

I'm paying $700 for my Hornet with 400 jumps and a brand new lineset. Sabre2's, which everyone wants right now, sell for about a $1000-1100 with a couple hundred jumps on them.

I would love to think high jump mains sell well, I have a Triathlon with 700 jumps I'd like to sell soon, but when I browse the classifieds most canopies with 600 or 700 jumps tend to be in the basement price ranges.

Hornets cost about $700 when they were brand new, though...Actually, I take that back, they were around $800, still though...

Actually I figured it at 900-950 new as that was what people in the gear reviews on them mentioned, priced it down for 400 jumps, and then factored in a $200-250 reline from Aerodyne.
