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... Marc |
