We take back wings, harnesses and reserve parachutes, regardless of their condition. To offer your gear for resale, simply click on this link and fill out our dedicated form.

This form allows us to make an initial assessment of your equipment based on a few simple questions. A separate form must be completed for each item you wish to sell (for example, one wing, one harness and one reserve = three forms).

At the end of the questionnaire, you can choose between two resale options: consignment sale or direct buy. Full details about each option are available in the next section.

Sell your gear easily with Air et Aventure!

ARE YOU SELLING PARAGLIDING GEAR THAT IS AIRWORTHY?

Your gear is considered airworthy if it meets the following conditions:

- It is less than 10 years old and in good overall condition

- It is certified according to current standards

- It has a check certificate less than 3 months old (required for wings only – we can provide this service if you're unable to do it yourself)

If your gear meets these conditions, we will provide a preliminary estimate of its value. If you accept this offer, you’ll need to send the complete gear at your own expense so we can verify its actual condition against the declared information.

If the received equipment is in a different condition than announced, the estimate may be adjusted downward. We will inform you of the updated proposal.

If you agree to the revised estimate, the process continues normally. Otherwise, you must send us a return label so we can ship your equipment back to you.
