I need help trying to find a fair price for a 13cf OMS or equal drysuit air inflation system. Anyone have one to sell or can point me in the right direction ? Thanks

I sell the "factory" systems, the prices are kind of scary. Your best bet is to assemble your own, a 6cf bottle can be found for $80 - $100, a 1st stage from your local shop (used) or ebay, & last be very important, a popoff (overpressure) valve.
You should have maybe $150 - $175 stuck into it, less if you dig up a used bottle.
The OMS uses a steel bottle, verrry nice.

Keep in mind that the only time a suit inflation system is necessary is if you're diving a mix with helium in it.
If your back gas has no helium, an extra undershirt will keep you way warmer than argon vs air.

Agreed, put your own system together. Get a luxfer 6 cf or 14 cf. They weigh almost nothing under water.

Get a simple first stage (I use the Apeks US4) and an OPV and you are good to go.
