Selling on Ebay
I've bought a lot of stuff on Ebay, but I've never sold before -- until now.
After a friend received over $200 for his BROKEN transponder (he was bluntly honest in the ad, saying it was basically a "box of parts"), I decided to try selling the wind-up clock I just removed from my panel. It's not particularly hard getting set up on Ebay (although they did lose all my information 75% of the way through the set-up, because of "maintenance") to sell, and -- with six hours to go -- my clock has been bid up to $61! This for something that I surely would have stuck in a box and forgotten about, or perhaps thrown away. Ebay rocks. I've got a whole box of parts, ranging from antennas to transponders -- and it's ALL going! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Heyyyy... :-) Nah, most of it's been donated by guests and enthusiasts. Some of it would fetch a pretty penny on Ebay, I'm sure -- but we're pretty attached to the stuff... (And it's pretty attached to us. To prevent theft, I've used some unique attachment methods -- some of it may prove impossible to remove!) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Hmm... and I've never thought about what a great selling point to fellow
pilots a woman that is already rated might be! Jim |

Ebay rocks. I've got a whole box of parts, ranging from antennas to
transponders -- and it's ALL going! Yes, it does Jay...I've had several occasions where I've bought a batch of pilot supplies because I wanted one or two items, then turned around and sold the rest of the stuff. -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |

When we bought our plane, we also took over the guys hangar lease. He left
behind a bunch of junk, plus a Narco Nav-121 that he didn't want anymore. We sold it as-is and got about $250, iirc.. -- Ben C-172 - N13258 @ 87Y |
