Used Rig Value

[Hummusx 0]

I'd like to get some opinions on what the following rig might be worth:

Reflex R350 (400 jumps), superb condition!
Date of mfg is 10/1996
Had the grommet mod done in 2000
Had the reserve flap mod done on 11/1999

Saber 150 (400 jumps)
New slider installed in 2000
Date of mfg is 1996? (I think)

MICRO RAVEN 150 (1 jump)
Date of manufacture 1996

CYPRESS AAD
Date of mfg is 1996
4 year inspection done in 2001
New batteries in 03/2002


Thanks a lot for your input!

You might want to PM Skybytch, she pretty up on gear prices/value.

Reflex - depending on if it has harness rings or not and where you are in the US - $300-500

Sabre 150 - $600-800 depending on the condition of the line set

MR150 - $500-ish

Cypres will need it's 8 year service next year... with the introduction of the Cypres2 and the fluctuation in prices due to the currency exchange rate I'm not real up on the values of used Cypres at the moment. I'd guess it's worth $400 or so as is but I could be way off on that.

Note - I would not recommend this rig to anyone with an exit weight over around 150 pounds, especially if it's your first rig. The MicroRaven 150 reserve was not built to handle being loaded over 1.0.

Quick question about the Cypres (in general). If the 4 year service isn't performed until 5 years after it is manufactured, does the 8 year get done 4 years after that or 8 years after DOM? This one had service in 2001, so it won't be up for service until 2005 by the 4 year method, or next year as you mention by the 8 year method.

All maintence on the Cypres is based on DOM.

A point that has annoyed several of my customers is that if a Cypres sits in a closet too long and misses its 4-year-check, then the customer has to pay for BOTH the 4-year and 8-year checks.
What is the difference between a 4-year and an 8-year check?

I think this is just to keep people from trying to skip the 4 year check to save money.
