Please tell us what this package was that you
sold on ebay that provided a profit to pay those bills. I'll be waiting.


Man, this IS eating you alive and the beauty is..it's no troll.
Sold: Raytheon RL9, with custom repeater station, Raychart 600XX, large
selection of C-map charts, Dome with self leveling mount, Icom M602 Radio
(new), Icom M700 (new), pair of Icom M2As, Handheld Garmin 76S (new), Garmin
Geko (old).
With the deal also went all cables and an older solar panel set. I get 35%. I
sold it at Harlem Yacht club. I'm selling another RL9 and 600XX shortly-just
waiting for a new power cable to test. That one will be sold on ebay sometime
next week.
Call me a liar until you turn blue...but I have no bills to pay. The yard is
happy of course because they also get more out of the deal that way. My new
dodger from Doyle will be "paid for" by next week in this manner. Wish I could
take credit for the idea, but I've seen others do this and it's pretty easy.
Here is part of the package I sold. I guess you'll next claim that that's not
my blue towel under the RL9 display and 600XX.
Anyone seeking a deal on shore power cables should check my auctions later this
week as well...I'm talking half price. I also have C-maps left over.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Just like everything on your boat.

Well, looks like you're a bit naive when it comes to ebay.

Ebay charges a fee when you place a for sale ad based on
the initial bid and then recalculates based on the sale price.
There are lots and lots of people trying to rip sellers off.

Looks like you're not only a liar, but stupid.

Yeah, I'll be known for the "Great Oar Scam of 2004", Ganz.
Sheesh.

There's a buyer for anything. I just sold an Edson Pedestal guard top
Plate(brand new) to a fellow from (get this) Dodge City Kansas. He is
a non sailor, but hopes to retire to the Phillipenes someday and build
a boat. It seems, he is buying out the boat on ebay, item by item as
they come up. I can't figure it though, he didn't buy the guard
itself which I had listed seperately, but in the same time frame. Go
figure.

The most rediculous thing I ever sold was a 15" X 3/32nd" wire pennent
that secured the jib to the deck on my old boat. An assembly of two
eyes, two nicopress fittings, and 20" of wire that cost me $7.00 to
make up 10 years ago, and would cost $10.00 today. The fellow paid
$13.00 incl. shipping.

I'm convinced. I don't through anything away anymore without checking
ebay first. I bought a new computer on ebay and found that there was a
big market for old software. Bingo.
