| Post subject: | Second Hand prices |
I have been monitoring the prices of Hobie 14s with trailers, and I have come to the conclusion that after 20 years of loving my cat, I will sell it in parts, because I am likely to get a far better price. If I sell it as is, I will likely get $700 to $800. But in parts: Main 6 batten sail: $300 Jib $150 Second Jib $100 rudders $150 mast $100 5 to 1 Harken block $60 mast Rigging with trapeeze $50 Jib rigging furler and cross brace and sheets $80 registered Trailer $200 maybe more Hulls, recently repaired at bottom, otherwise great no soft spots $150 New Harness $120 2 sets of sail battens $120 Trampoline, old but good $80 Now its all at risk, but that adds to $1660. Makes it a no brainer really. But still emotionally sad. It also illustrates the futility of "doing up" a really worn out boat. Geoff. |

The sum of the parts has almost always been worth more than the boat - tired or not. The trick is being able to sell all the parts with less effort than selling the boat. |

And if you sell on Ebay, buyer comes to pick up or pays for packing and shipping. |

If you decide to part it out, I'm looking for a trampoline. I am the new owner of a very old hobie. I believe it to be 1970 or earlier and I need a tramp as the old one is destroyed. Thanks |

See Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 0263814857 and http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 0263815278 With the Aussie dollar currently at 60c to the US$, its probably cheap, even though the postage would be significant. Geoff. |

Well I estimated $1660, and I beat that, and I still have a trailer to sell. Might break $2000 if I am lucky. EVERYTHING sold. How good is that? Geoff. |
