Honeybee 0 #1 March 15, 2007 Thinking of buying a racer container and I'm wondering if this is a fair price. All comments and suggestions welcome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites phoenixlpr 0 #2 March 15, 2007 Are you going to have poll about all containers and all kind of reserves? Your life can be easier if you buy HC with the right sized reserve together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DJL 235 #3 March 15, 2007 You're asking a very unreliable pool of people on advice on equipment they've never need. Find out the new cost of the container and then find out how much it's been jumped and the rig's condition. Once you know this you could probably ask a gear shop for some advice. And provide a little courtesy and buy something from them at the same time."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites parafredo 0 #4 March 15, 2007 Best thing you can do is to contact Nancy at JumpShack,you will find your answer without being worry about the poll you did. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites JohnRich 4 #5 March 15, 2007 The poll cannot be answered properly without seeing the gear, because it all depends upon the condition of the rig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ZigZagMarquis 9 #6 March 15, 2007 A very course (broad brush) "rule of thumb" to answer your question would be to take the $$ of a new Racer minus $1 for each jump is on this used container you're polling about and then see if $400 is a good deal or not. However, having said that, there are A LOT of other varriables which makes this a big "depends" kinda answer.... for insance, the actual condition of the rig in question (i.e. its got a high number of jumps, but was well taken care of... or its got a low number of jumps, but the owner used it for his intentional saltwater landing training & landing volcanic rock PLF training & power line landing training) and/or what kind of canopies you're thinking on putting in it. If you're really interested in buying a Racer, call Nancy at JumpShack. Good luck.
