You may think it, and you may know differently, but how would you like
someone taking pot shots at your "for sale" posting? Besides, the
seller only claimed a replacement cost, not a price.


I think many (myself included) are honestly in shock over the current
price of importing a new glider into the US. This "replacement cost" is
close to 3 times what I paid for a new competitive 15/18M ship just 3
years ago. Given that many of us (myself included) are now making
significantly less money than we were 5 or even 10 years ago, the notion
of buying a new glider at these prices has passed into the realm of
fantasy.

Anyone who continues to be able to afford these toys will not be
disturbed by these slightly anguished comments. But I, for one, don't
believe the sport will long survive in the US, if the cost of tows and
new gliders continue to rise at the rate they have been over the past
couple of years...
