Builders and tinkers (I know--that's repetitive) are always buying things, which means they also have things to sell. Builders, trying to unload good 'stuff', are denigrated to sheepish posts to the List, mentioning they have a few odd items for anyone interested. Of course, there are a few brazen ones that make no attempt to respect the prohibition against commercialism on the list and make half hearted attempts to camouflage their efforts--but fool no one. Nonetheless, I've seen few people that resent being exposed to a good buy or a good product. Why should the willing sellers need to feel ashamed to expose willing buyers to a good deal? The solution? How about a separate 'For Sale' List where builder can list/unload their surplus items, rather than have to make some lame reference to Ebay. A separate list for 'Vendors' may even have merit. There's a few products out there I'd like to know about that may not have the exposure of a Garmin or King, et al. The feedback the sellers/vendors would face on the list would keep them pretty honest and help all of us sort out the good from the bad. Probably been tried, and abandoned already, but its worth a thought. No?

I wanted a new GPS and to partially fund it I rounded up a bunch of stuff in my hangar and listed it on Ebay. It all sold and for good prices but,,,,, just at pay off time, PayPal crashed and now a bunch of folks are sitting around, unable to access thier accounts. Know way to know if they have paid or not. Money has been sent but not received and thier is no way to talk to Ebay or PayPal. I would support any effort you make in this direction.

I fear that a rough grit like this will remove all of the Alclad from the aluminum and cause the Plexiglas to crack. Has anybody used a lesser grit paper, or even ScothBrite, and still had good adhesion to the fiberglass?
