Looking for a used chute. Thoughts? Best place to look?

Thanks,

Allen Silver often has used chutes available for good prices. That is
how I got my first chute on a broke college kid budget. Give him a
call. http://www.silverparachutes.com/

Avoid ones with reddish-brown stains that have never been opened.

I bought a used strong 303 (7 years old) from E-bay, paid $500, then sent it to Strong enterprises for a inspection and repack, gamble paid off for me, got a chute for 1/3rd price of new, factory blessing looks good in the packers log. Of course I could of ended up with a expensive kids plaything.
