Default Letters Asking to Buy My Glider

with your address available on the FAA's site, its not that hard to
conceive as possible. I have done the same looking for other Cherokee
II owners, in my case looking for a set of plans. I didnt go so far as
to send letters, but cross referenced names with the SSAs member list
with emails and harassed people that way.

I have received several letters over the last year from people
interested in purchasing my glider. I was wondering if this is common
or rare? I'd like to think it rare and that I own a highly desireable
and marketable glider.

I also wonder if it is some type of scam. The letter's content and
other small detals makes them seem like genuine enquiries.

I always reply back to the author with a nicely worded, "Thanks but no
thanks. I'll contact you if I change my mind." Often I get back a
response which clearly is from a glider pilot.

What is your experience?
