I have some slightly used aircraft parts; i.e. Airmaster hub, rotary
engines, etc. I'm sure there's an opinion or two out there on where's
the best place to list these items for homebuilders to find them. Ebay
is obvious, but doesn't really cater to this audience. Other
suggestions?

Ebay is a Lousy choice!

I know of a classic aircraft, in beautiful shape, that barely got any
bids on ebay. This occurred within the last two months. Ebay is for
run-of-the-mill stuff.

EAA Aport Aviation, EAA Vintage, Trade-A-Plane are where you will find
the likely buyers.

I could be wrong on this, since I'm only a sample size of one, but once I
sold my 172, Aircraft Owner stopped appearing in my mailbox. I.e., if you
already own an a/c, you get it, but if you don't, you don't get the mag,
either.

That is my understanding. The (FREE) magazine goes to owners of aircraft,
for the most part.

I could consider using both barnstormers and ebay concurrently.

If you list the part on barnstormers, and reference the item number on
ebay, you can generate the interest you need and sell the items using
the convenience and security of ebay.
