Selling on Ebay

There goes all the neat decor at the "Inn", :-)

I've bought a lot of stuff on Ebay, but I've never sold before -- until
now.

After a friend received over $200 for his BROKEN transponder (he was
bluntly
honest in the ad, saying it was basically a "box of parts"), I decided to
try selling the wind-up clock I just removed from my panel.

It's not particularly hard getting set up on Ebay (although they did lose
all my information 75% of the way through the set-up, because of
"maintenance") to sell, and -- with six hours to go -- my clock has been
bid
up to $61!

This for something that I surely would have stuck in a box and forgotten
about, or perhaps thrown away.

Ebay rocks. I've got a whole box of parts, ranging from antennas to
transponders -- and it's ALL going!

Heyyyy... :-)

Nah, most of it's been donated by guests and enthusiasts. Some of it would
fetch a pretty penny on Ebay, I'm sure -- but we're pretty attached to the
stuff...

(And it's pretty attached to us. To prevent theft, I've used some unique
attachment methods -- some of it may prove impossible to remove!)

I'm really a little worried that if Jay get's caught up in this Ebay selling
kick, that Mary and the kids might be next!

Are the kids well behaved?

Hmm... and I've never thought about what a great selling point to fellow
pilots a woman that is already rated might be!

Ever read "The Kidnapping of Red Chief"? Jay would go bankrupt. :-)

None of us is as dumb as all of us.

George, George . . . it's "The RANSOM of Red Chief" . . . by O Henry.
(I just had to do that, sorry)

Well, I read it in high school. There are lots of other details of that period I'm
sure I've forgotten. :-)

George 'n Ross riposte...

But you'll remember, dear, the point of the story was that the kid kidnapped
was so rotten, the crooks eventually paid a tidy sum to be rid of him. I can
testify that Jay's boy is pleasant enough that he'd require special training to
take part in such a scam...though he'd be smart enough to see the fun in doing
it!

Yeah, he's smart enough to be a real danger to us all... ;-)

But he DID do his first touch & go last night. Well, I took over at about
20 feet AGL, but he would have lived, IMHO, had I let him land.

Whether we could have used the plane again, well, that's another question...
