About this marketplace
The DZSpotter Gear Marketplace is where skydivers buy and sell used skydiving gear, from complete rigs to canopies, containers and AADs. Listings carry computed safety flags for AAD service life and reserve ageing, sellers of higher value listings verify their identity, and a stolen gear registry helps keep stolen equipment out of the market.
Right now there are 95 live listings, including 39 complete rigs. Complete rigs are currently priced from £600 to £9,000.
Common questions about used skydiving gear
How much does a used skydiving rig cost?
Complete skydiving rigs currently listed on DZSpotter range from £600 to £9,000. The price of a used rig depends on the age and jump numbers of the container, the canopies included and how much service life the AAD has left. Have any rig inspected by a qualified rigger before money changes hands.
Is it safe to buy used skydiving gear?
Yes, buying used skydiving gear is normal and safe when the equipment is properly inspected. Most skydivers buy their first rig second hand. The rule that matters is simple: have a qualified rigger inspect any used gear before you jump it, and check the AAD service life and the reserve repack date yourself before you agree the sale.
What should I check before buying a used skydiving rig?
Check the date of manufacture and total jumps on the container, the remaining service life of the AAD, the reserve repack date and the wear on the main canopy and its lines. Ask the seller for serial numbers and any service records. Then have the complete system inspected by a qualified rigger before you hand over any money.
How do I avoid scams when buying skydiving gear?
Buy from sellers who have verified their identity and check the equipment against a stolen gear registry before you pay. On DZSpotter, sellers of higher value listings must pass an identity check, every listing carries computed safety flags, and the stolen gear registry lets you check reported equipment before you buy.
Can I sell my skydiving gear on DZSpotter?
Yes, listing gear on DZSpotter is free. You can create a listing directly or import an existing Facebook Marketplace listing, and every listing is reviewed before it goes live. Rigs and containers must include the fit and tray measurements a buyer needs to judge whether the gear actually suits them.
What does the safety flag on a gear listing mean?
A safety flag is an automatic warning computed from the listing details, such as an AAD near or past the end of its service life or a reserve canopy old enough to need a rigger’s judgement. Flags are informational rather than a block on the sale. They tell the buyer exactly what to ask about before agreeing a price.
