GOOD LUCK NUTSY!!!

Great idea and a good way to mess around boat!! Keep it honest and you
should be able to cut into the "Defender" market.

I'll Drink to That!"

As long as he reports the income, can actually attest to the items not
being stolen, is willing to pay the upfront ebay fees, deal with the
shipping
hassles (oh and deal with the ripoff artists on ebay and the ones who show
up at his door), and the weirdos who leave bad feedback or scream at you
even if everything goes perfectly, then he'll do fine.

Call me a liar until you turn blue...but I have no bills to pay.

According to ebay you've only sold about a dozen items with most under a
hundred bucks. So once again tell the group how that paid all those bills.
Unless your slip fee is $250 and you got the mobile arm of Maaco or Erol Scheib
to paint the bottom.
S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster"
"No shirt, no skirt, full service"

Well, I think you're asking for more than he can give. He's a liar.

How is it different? Don't you have to deal with the issues I mentioned?

Jon, it must be very different over there.
I've bought and sold plenty of items thru Ebay.com.au and never had a
problem.
Bubbles appears to be working a clearance centre type arrangement and
the great part is that you usually flog all the stuff on consignment
so there is no outlay in stock.
I'd congratulate him on his resourcefulness

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

"Honest" is the only way to go on ebay. So far so good. Bidding is really going
nicely.

Poor loco! You didn't expect me to have pics of the RL9 and 600XX. I know. It
hurts. I'm also selling a second RL9 package shortly. Also: I have new Ray
1621's NIB (already sold two). I'm not selling just on Ebay. For instance, I
have a Garmin 1020C NIB, which I sold in one day for 1400. That's a pretty hard
deal to beat.
Like I said, call me a liar or any other names you like. Won't change the
facts. Slip, club fees, bottom painting...3100.00, and it was all paid for by
selling a single package of stuff. The C-maps alone brought nearly 2.5K. I
know...it's KILLING you, but it's no troll. Keep an eye on the auctions and
see.
Sorry.

Thanks, Ozzy. You hit the nail on the head. It's costing me nothing. The cost
of the auctions are my only hit and even that's split. I also don't do all of
the shipping; only the stuff that can be easily handled. The big windlass will
be shipped out by the yard for example. I'll even be selling outdrives and
outboards, but I won't be shipping those! As it stands, my yard bills are paid
and there's more money to be made now that I've started selling the stuff on
ebay.

RB

Ya gotta read a bit more carefully, Loco. He said he sold it at the Harlem
Yacht Club, not on ebay.

Loco just ignored that because it was too upsetting for him. He also ignored
the pics of the RL9 and 600XX. Talk about proof positive!

Some of the stuff I'm selling in pretty old, but still useful to someone. But
other items, such as the radars I'll be selling are pretty recent and very
useful to most anyone.

RB

Man, I hate having a song stuck in my head...and now everytime I read
one of these posts, the theme music from Sanford & Son just won't go
away Good luck with your auctions.

I can't wait, I'll be buying Defender this year and next year I'll put West
Marine out of business. Why hell I may even buy ebay.
