PhreeZone 20 #2 January 13, 2003 Lots of people buy in the spring and sell in the fall. If you want the best deal, buy when the market is flooded with cheap gear and people needing to sell stuff to pay other bill's (like xmas bills). I've been watching the classifieds for 3 years and it seems like November to January is a buyers market and the warmer it gets out side the higher the prices go on used gear.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #3 January 13, 2003 If you're buying new gear, the season to order it and get it the quickest is about mid-summer, according to what the people at Wings told me when I was ordering my gear. This is because a LOT of people tend to order gear during the off-season, since they're not jumping and have the money. I got my container 2 weeks early due to this (I ordered towards the end of the summer).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
