newshooter12 0 #1 July 23, 2003 I'm in the process of looking for gear and I've run into a rig that looks pretty good. Is there an online site or system that I can use to get an idea of what price would be fair?? thanks, matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ixlr82 7 #2 July 23, 2003 From rigging65 in a previous thread.(you can do a search as well) QuoteAs soon as you take receipt of new gear, it immediately looses 25% of it's retail value. Every jump put on it from then on reduces the value by $1 per item used (or $100 a year, whichever is more). Of course there are exceptions for certain pieces of gear. F111 mains simply can't sell out here for more than about $400, regardless of condition. Cypres re-sell value can be influenced by new batteries or a fresh 4-year, but you'll never get the full value of the services you put into the unit back out at sales time (ie- brand new batteries at ~$90 don't raise the value of the unit $90, only about $50.) Any item no longer produced really can't sell for more than about $600 or even less. __________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usskydiver 0 #4 July 23, 2003 Another price guide that I've seen used is subtract $100 per year AND $1 per jump. Just my observation. PS: That does NOT apply to CYPRES these days due to the strengthening Mark/Euro. Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
