Advice? > Several years ago I needed to sell my Vector, due to having purchased a new one. There was a real problem in finding a buyer for it since it was one of the original V-1 vectors used by Mirror Image in winning the world meet, and there aren't too many people looking for a medium sized harness with Swift-sized main container. As a last result, I shipped it off to Ralph to sell for me. I was definitely nervous about sending it to someone I never heard of with no money coming until it sold, but he came through. If you are looking for used gear, I would say the 3 places to check are classifieds in Parachutist and Skydiving, and Ralph. -- Robert Yoder 306 Hawkins Graduate House, West Lafayette, IN 47906 (317)495-6845 Internet: ryoder@ecn.purdue.edu "It's 10 o'clock.
