What hand did you have in the creation of the site, Sasa?


None, just curious... I am a big supporter of niche auctions.

Yeah, right.



I am
also a pilot and love attending real life airplane auctions.

I've been to airplane auctions, what's the fascination?




I have
been disappointed for many years that nothing along the lines of a
specialized online aviation auction has been established on the web.

Tried and failed.




In sharp contrast classifieds in this area do great. Look at Trade-a-
Plane - 70 years in existance...



But what really sells the hot planes today is their web site, by the
time you get the paper version the good planes are gone.





When I came across AeroBid I wanted
to see what others thought of it. The idea sounds promising and is
the concept I have hoped would show up all these years.


Tried and failed.




Personally, I
plan on listing a few aviation related items that have been collecting
dust at my house. Only time will tell if this idea will catch on. I
hope that it does. I am looking to buy a Cessna 172 and I only can
find a dozen choices on eBay.

ebay is a poor place to look for a plane. When I was selling my 182 I
put it on ebay, not because I thought it might sell but simply to get
people to see it. Nobody with three brain cells buys a plane without
looking at it. I had about 2000 different people look at the auction.
It sold because of the ad in Barnstormers. An auction site is primarily
good for the nuts and bolts of aircraft. I have bought a lot of things
off ebay for my planes.
