15K....where did you get this number from? Who determines the prices of
used gliders?


Hi Jacek,

The $15k number was simply a wag at a bare hull value w/o instruments,
trailer, etc. I could be off by a factor of two and I doubt it would
change the economics for Centrair. No offense was intended & I
apologize if it came off wrong.


Actually, that $15k value isn't *too far* off the mark in my mind. If
you've got a decent peg that's over the 3,000 limit, you need to factor
in the transport costs of a few thousand dollars and such.

If you start at $20 and add $3k for transport (I have no idea what the
real cost it), you're within a few thousand dollars of what a few pegs
(with far less than 3,000 hours on them) have sold for in the last year.
