Default Strong 303 parachute gauging interest.

I own a Strong 303 parachute that is in excellent physical condition. people think it is new but is in fact more than 20 years old. It is stored in its carry bag and indoors when not being worn. I have it repacked yearly when Strong's master rigger visits and packs for a local air show. She claims it is in excellent condition despite its age and has no misgivings signing it off. I cannot comply with the FAA 180-day inspection and repack cycle without shipping it back to Strong at significant (to me) expense since local riggers won't repack such an old chute as policy. Is there any interest to someone located nearby Strong's HQ in Orlando who would purchase it from me to have it repacked at the factory, so I can put that money towards a new or newer used chute? What value would it have?

Jim
