Dear Alex,

I concur with Bill Sapsis for his reasons and more. Reuse it yourself or permanently disable it. Don't even give it to a charity and take a write-off. The risk is much too high. I makes a hungry Plaintiff's lawyer salivate on the spot. Not me!

The real question is is...why would someone buy a used harness?  We're not talking about thousands of dollars. Just hundreds. 

On another level, the standards for fall protection equipment have gone through major changes since 2003. A harness from 2003 will not meet those standards. 

I wouldn't sell it if I were you and I certainly wouldn't buy it

Zat help?

I'm looking for opinions from the folks who know what they're talking about, and/or don't know what they're talking about but are obviously stupid.  Please nothing from anyone who sounds sensible but is wrong.

I have a full body harness that was purchased in ~2003, used only a handful of times and has absolutely no noticeable wear, and has sat in a closet ever since.

Is there any reason I shouldn't sell it?  General regulations or practices, or changes in design since then?

It is a Voyager Rigger's Harness 380RS, substantially similar to this:

Waist 28-33", height 5'-0" - 5'-9".  All black with red contrasting stitching.

If there isn't any good reason not to sell it, the next question will be "anyone interested in this?"
