Hello again!

Now all the prices found *and* available on the web are linked to their original webpage so that you can browse its source.

E.g. www.gliderreview.com/glider/grob-g103-twin-ii

I hope this helps understanding the real value of each glider.

The prices will vary greatly depending on prior damage history, and
how much weight has been added due to the repairs. Some Twin II's
have been crashed and repaired so often that they have usable
payloads of only 320 pounds. Some people joke that these gliders
are now "a single seat glider with a large baggage compartment". The
resale value of these gliders is correspondingly a lot less than a glider
with a high seat load and little to no damage history. That is all before

you figure in the condition of the gel-coat, cracked canopies, etc.. For
example, to replace just one cracked canopy can cost between $4000
and $8000 USD....

In the USA, there is a shortage of higher performance 2 seaters that
have a high seat load capability. A good G-103 with enclosed trailer
will cost ~$50K USD because of the scarcity.

Hi Michael,

though I'd consider such a specific comment on G103 quotations a bit OT, thanks anyway: thoughtful considerations like yours are *exactly* the reason why I thought useful to make as many crawled prices as possible available to GliderReview users.

Thank you!
