Hello John,
No, I do not believe that what you are getting to be a SCAM.
If you have to wait for a particular sailplane type to become
available, it might take a while and someone else could beat
you to it.
I purchased a 304CZ last year from writting a letter and a
member in our club wrote a letter to everyone in the US who
had a LS8-18 and got 2 replies. He now owns a LS8-18.
I just suggested to another club member to decide on what
sailplanes he really wants to purchase and to write a letter to
the owners and see if they are interested in selling their glider.

Sometimes you just have to get the ball rolling to get someone
to sell their glider.

Tried that to find a SZD 51-1 Junior for club use. Nobody would part
with them. But it's a good strategy.

Now that the E=$1.31+, don't expect any bargains.

There are currently 2 Juniors (SZD51-1)for sale in
the UK at reasonable prices and it doesnt cost as much
as you think to ship.Try www.gliderpilot.net

Thanks, but not in the market at the moment.

Searching gliderpilot.net I found one in the UK listed this month, this
year, another in Poland listed January 2006, plus a UK club looking for
a Junior since 1999. Some of those folks should talk or pull their
ads.

UKP=$1.95+ this morning;^*
