I like Walmart

Competition improves the market.

Wings and Wheels, and the SSA classifieds?

Methinks someone's just trying to boost traffic to his web site, not provide
a service to fill a gaping need in the glider pilot support network. =;-)

Do what you do best: provide comparative charts for PDA's and radios and
cradles and gliding software (all of which boost sales), also your unique
ability to assist with making GPS/logger X work with PDA Y and power supply
Z etc (which you do better than anyone else, and it boosts your sales), also
your excellent instructional CD's (which boost sales).

Don't try to steal your fellow-Minnesotan's book business, or Wings and
Wheels uniquely useful classifieds, or anybody else's special niche. Try to
avoid becoming the Wal-Mart of gliding.

JMHO,

Someone who has purchased from you, and Tim, and Tom and Doris, and Bob, and
the folks in Hobbs, many times in the past. And no, I don't have my own web
site, so I'm not worried about competition.

Hi,

In an effort to support the soaring community, I have created a new Soaring
Classified Ads page. All ads are free. I will accept up to 3 photos with
each item submitted.

http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/classifieds.htm

The site is new so there isn't much to see there yet. Please send me data
on your used items. I anticipate that it will be a valuable resource with
much traffic - as items are added over time. I have always enjoyed looking
through photos of used gliders and equipment on other web sites.

I have made the site as well organized as possible to make it easy to find
what you are looking for quickly and easily.

Sold items will be removed promptly to reduce clutter and confusion.

Good Soaring,
