Shredding since 1997
You know you threw them in a drawer... they just kept piling up in there... you'll never use them... plastic parasheet kits... just sitting in there.
Looking for a pile of 5 or more larger than 16 inches (preferably 18 or 24).
Must be REALLY CHEAP (like me!)I mean their just gonna sit in that drawer forever... right?
PS: I yes I know I could make my own... which is why they must be CHEAP.

Sorry. You lost me at the word cheap. I have a lot of chutes to sell, but I believe in fair prices. That works both ways...
Have fun,

Some one asked me privately what 'cheap' was?
I'd like a pile of the sheets, 18 and 24s. Pile being more than 1.
They are plastic. Without the printing they must cost pennies. With the printing, still pennies just more of them. By now Estes must have gotten back the initial cost of the design.
Since I don't care about the string/thread (but will accept it! - also pennies BTW) I just figure I'd be doing great if I can get them way below the commercial price.
They sell, with thread and paper rings, for $2.50 - $4 each. For that price, I'll just go back to plastic trash bags. Labor does not count unless your sheets are already built.
Funny, I thought I'd get 10s of responses from HPR guys looking to ditch like 10 left over unused 18 to 24 inch parasheets... guess not (at least not 'cheap').
Oh well.

Jeff- Lemme check-at one time they drifted into the dusty corners of the workshop, and kitchen, the living room, and dining room, and the spare bedroom....now they *should* be in a footlocker at the bottom of a pile of footlockers. I'll dig when there's better light. Trade would be better, I'm looking for c/r's, bulkheads, couplers-anything for 29mm-38mm 4" and under.. Don't fly 54's anymore now I 'm retired.

97% of the time, I'm right-the other 5% doesn't bother me.
There comes a point in your life that looks just like all the other points you didn't notice either.
If I had a nickel for every dollar I spent on rockets, I'd have more rockets.
You may have had more fun in your life than me, but the chaos was undeniable.
