Yo, Watcher, was that Mirage you bought navy with greenish lemon trim? Maybe with David or Staff on the mud-flaps?
Just curious...

Have to admit that I once jumped what I think was a Vector

Before I get flamed by Vector lovers, let me point out that
a) This is not intended as Vector bashing. I just happened to have jumped one that didn't work for me. Shit happens.
b) I'm not even sure if it was indeed a Vector
Seems like I'm sort of sobered up now Alphons

No, It was all black, Bought it from a guy in Kansas i think that was getting married. I asked why he was selling this stuff so cheaply, his reply was Only have one wedding, can always buy more gear later.

If you are serious, e-mail me. I just did a repack on exactly what you describe and the guy is looking to sell it. DOM in 96 and it only has about 15 jumps. This rig is cherry. It has CYPRES, but it was removed because the battery is out of date. It is ROL deployent, so you may want to convert to BOC.

I have bought all my gear online. I bought a reflex with a triathlon 175 a raven dash m 218 and cypress. I have also bought a factory diver helment, a digitude, a frap hat, a hornet 150 and a heatwave 135. With various other things. I have never had any problems and have always got a good deal.
However one of the guys that jumps at my home DZ bought a used kit sent $1700 and never got anything. He went through paypal and they have some things in the works but that was back in April and as of now he still does not have a rig or his money back. So you really must use care.
