I was wondering if there was a blue book of sorts for used gliders?


quite difficult to write, as the price i usually very dependent of
damage history, accessories, trailer, age, hours flown, instruments,
gadgets etc..

Just as an example, the total expense for acquiring a NEW sailplane
wit top equipment, incl. taxes, in Europe, is very close to 60% more
than the net price of the hull.
Clearly, if you skip on some accessories, or select those not at the
top of value, the total for a new glider varies considerably.

For a used glider, the variables are just too many. So, read carefully
the ads, and ask the seller the right questions.
