Ramy,

In a free market, the value of your glider is determined by what a
buyer is willing to pay for it at the time you are selling it, not by
the price someone else asks for theirs. Even if that price is too
high or too low in your opinion. Unless you are trying to sell yours
today, and have moved to Toronto, I wouldn't sweat it. Anyway, with
the things you have been able to accomplish with yours, I would think
you would fetch a price above "market rate" for your 27b. :-)

The free market response, if you really believed it was seriously
underpriced, would be to immediately buy it, then flip it ("sell it
quickly at a higher price", just in case "flip it" has other meanings
outside the USA).

I hope Udo can invest the money he gets from selling it, and buy another
glider when his health improves.
