Only if it was growing faster than people bought new gliders.
Basically, wooden gliders rot away and plastic ones don't, so it's
inevitable that cheap old plastic gliders dominate the budget end of

Not in NZ, as far as I can see. I see ads for airworthy Oly's and K6's
and the like for NZ$6k - $12k. I don't think you've get anything much
glass for under $20k and I include PW-5's in that.
