Where to Sell Boat Plan Package on eBay?
 

I have a complete set of drawings and construction details for the ENDURANCE
35 (both strip plank and ferro cement) that I want to sell on eBay but I
can't find a catagory where interested builders might find the ad.

Most every catgory is for model sail boats or magazine plans.

Does anyone have any recommendations..

No, this isn't a shameless advertisement but your welcome to read it as
such. :o)

Thanks. Those are the two that I noted during my search. They both seem in
appropriate but the only place I found with small boat plans.

I think I'm just frustrated that they stuck Boats in the eBay motors main
catagory.. I objected strongly when this happened a couple years ago.. Kinda
makes me feel like they are sticking all the boats and gear on the back
corner of a used car lot. Ya know what I mean??

It seems that there would be enough boats and equipment for sale that they
would be entitled to their own main catogory, just like cars and real
estate..

So you're saying that it's a shameful advertisement?

Beware the legalities of onselling used plans.

Yeah, as far as I know, plans can only legally be used to produce one
boat. Additional royalties must be paid for additional boats.

I'm sure Steve knows that, though.

These plans were purchase with license to build one boat. I have never built
that boat.. There shouldn't be any problem selling them to anyone else.

Actually, in looking through all of the paper work and correspondences, I
don't see any License Agreement.

Bare in mind that these plans are the result fo a design competition
sponsored by the Intenational Amateur Boat Building Society (iabbs).
Followed by promotion, sale and distribution.

As a submitted entry for the second 'iabbs' design competition this Peter
Ibold design would have became the property of 'iabbs'. However, no where on
the drawing or 'iabbs' liturature do I see any copyright markings or notes.

Therefore I have no reservations about selling these drawing for the purpose
of building that 'single' boat.

Unless otherwise noted in the plans, the only legality he has to worry
about is weather it meets current (at time of sale, not when drawn)
safety regulations. Even selling old plans, you are supposed to adjust
or ammend for this purpose, many designers don't, and I don't know
what you would do about a book like the Gardner books... Many of those
boats are not considered safe by todays standards, but of course these
are safe boats for people with brains...

I think category placement only impacts those who actually drill down and
browse by clicking ...an extremely inefficient way of looking through eBay
stuff. Most people, including myself, just do a search on keywords ...and
*still* have too much to look through. I'm thinking that the boat plans
will get found just fine regardless of where they are put. I'm betting
99.9% of the eBay crowd are doing searches just like me.
