I am looking for some used charts fo next summer's sailing season:
BBA chart kits for region 7 (Florida east coast and keys); region 6
( Norfolk to Jacksonville, Fla.); region 4 ( Chesepeake and
Delaware Bays); and region 3 (New york, Nantucket, Cape May, NJ).

If anyone wants to part with theirs ... or knows where I can
purchase them ... I'd appreciate a reply. Are there retail marine
stores which deal in used charts?

You can get all of those charts in electronic form for free:

Thanks, nice link!
Wow. 4 hours later, MsS+T in one monitor, chart navigator on another,
and Google earth on a third. The whole thing. Are there any more
charts available? Only 1018? Where is the rest of the world?

The rest of the world is still in the BD (before democracy) age. In the UK
we have vested interests which control the free access to what we taxpayers
have been paying for since George the Third. It's called Crown Copyright,
and if you are a US citizen, your War of Indepence freed you from this
drivel. You are very lucky, but NOAA can't overule foreign restrictive
practises such as this, more's the pity!
