Estimated value of container/reserve...

[prdstmnky 0]

Hey guys,
I've been handed down some gear from family that I don't really know too much about. I am looking into selling some of it so that I can get gear that would suit me a little better. I am wondering what a fair asking price would be for a;

-Javelin Sun Path J-1 container and harness. (12/99)
-PD143 Reserve (w/one jump) 6/96

Both are in very nice shape. What should I be asking/expecting?

How many repacks on the reserve?

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

$800 to $1300 depending on the shape it's in.

How will this help? Or are you just checking to see if its been reported stolen?

-Container = 17842
-Reserve = 11642

I have no way of knowing exactly how many repacks are on it. It looks like new and the container is in great shape. I am not using this forum as my only way of pricing the gear. Just thought it was a good non-biased place to ask.

You can set an upper bound based on the number of I&R entries on the reserve data card. During the next repack you can set a lower bound by counting the number of slash marks on the warning label where PD instructs the rigger to put a "/" for repack and "X" for repack after use.

The two may disagree because some of the "repacks" did not involve actually opening the container or (less likely) a blind rigger didn't see the warning label during his canopy inspection and therefore neglected to mark it.

After 40 repacks PD reserves are unairworthy until sent in for permeability testing.
