Should I sell?

I have a Zeagle Brigade with about 25 dives on it. I've since bought a BP/W that I love and it's the only thing I've used since then. I'm thinking about buying a Kydex plate for traveling and selling my Brigade. Any reason that I should keep the Brigade? I like it fine, but I definitely prefer the BP/W.

if you are not gonna use it, sell it. That simple.
no use having gear just get dusty in your room, taking up room. And, you seem to have a plan for travel gear anyway.

I used to save stuff. Ive got a room full of spare car parts that I "might use one day". They might have been worth money a while back, but I couldnt get crap for them now.

Sell it before it's too late.

Definitely sell. Do not store. Sell or give away. It makes room for your other purchases

i would say sell it....you could be helping out someone that is just getting into the sport a chance to save a little bit of money and be able to promote the sport and therefore bring more people in. I like to look on the bright side of things.

I went through the same thing. I had a brigade then went to a BP/W. I thought i would use it from time to time, but it just sat in the closet. Finally about 6 months after getting my BP/W, I sold it. I've never regretted it.

I thought I might keep it for backup, but then I got another a Mach V wing and then an AL plate, and a DIY harness, so now I have a complete spare BP/W if I need it.

So go ahead & sell it, and buy some new toys.

I occasionally find a use for a second set of gear, as I have several friends who are certified but don't have their own gear. You might keep it for that reason, but otherwise, sell it.

Were it mine, I'd sell it. No use keeping gear around you won't use, and it's value drops every day you keep it.
