How to sell used skydiving gear

A clear, honest listing sells faster and protects both you and your buyer.

Write a listing buyers trust

Name the make, model, size and date of manufacture
Be upfront about condition, repairs and history, including any deployments
Include the last repack date and who did it, where relevant
Say exactly what is included
Add clear photos of the item, its labels, and any wear

Price it fairly

Look at similar listings, and think about age, condition and what is included. Be open to reasonable offers, and be honest if the price is firm.
