My Auctions
 

This is a joint venture by myself and 4 local yards. I have literally thousands
of boating items (new and used) to sell and have only started. It started out
as a favor and now is making a surprising profit for me. Most yards have
hundreds of discarded or unsold items lying around, so I contacted them and
struck a deal. With the sale of a single electronics package, I paid for my
slip and bottom painting. Not a bad deal.
Anyone needing any gear should keep a lookout at my auctions. There will be
thousands of items listed over the coming months...some old and some recent.
None are "stolen" and buyers are free to check as all serial numbers are
intact. The best part of all of this is that it's FUN and easy and cost nothing
to start. Intitially I sold stuff within the clubs, but there's far, far too
much now. Watch and see. How about brand new old stock Raytheon radar packages
for half price? Nav lighting? Lorans? GPS? VHF? Winches? I even have sails and
rigging, some new.
Sorry, I can't be involved with the "wars" here anymore. I was always the
winner anyway. But if anyone wants to talk sailing I'm all for it.

The only wars around here were the ones you started. What a pansy!! You
prove time and time again you can dish it out but can't take it when it's
returned to you. Like a spoiled brat kicking a playmate and immediate
running home to mama screaming and bawling afraid your victim will strike

Given your history, I think there's a better than even chance that if you're
not actually lying about the upcoming auctions, you're lying about whether
or not the items are stolen.

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.

Jon, it must be very different over there.
I've bought and sold plenty of items thru Ebay.com.au and never had a

Bubbles appears to be working a clearance centre type arrangement and
the great part is that you usually flog all the stuff on consignment

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

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!

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.

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.

What are you charging to sell other peoples stuff? 50%

I would not go thru the hassle for less, and it would be great if you
could get them to ship it, and not get bad shipping feedback. Thats
what I hate the shipping hassle. Do you use the free priorty shipping
supplies from the post office? The free tape is great, has 100's of
boat uses BTW.

Shouldent you be focusing on your directing career?
Seems like that would be much better money.

I've gotten a few deals on Ebay. Sometimes the seller puts the item in the
wrong area or sets his auction to end at a dumb time. I got a mainsheet
assembly for 18 bucks, a Davis Mk15 Sextant for 55, a New Sony 7600GR for 64
bucks!
And so on. Part of the trick is to not get frustrated and keep looking. If you
don't have fun you'll probably never find a deal.
