Its always fun when people go to sell a glider. The price never seems to reflect its worth. Try coming up with realistic prices for the older ones like I do. In some cases I ask them what the trailer is worth as the glider needs too much work to economically put back in the air. In my case there are never enough thermals OR trailers. Keep looking, something will come up with the appropriate price tag. Just as a benchmark, I wouldn't pay more than 15 for the first generation GRP and 25 for the 2nd. Sure that sounds stingy but it seems to me that the prices being asked today by some people match what people paid for them originally and that seems odd to me. I wish I could get the same value on my car! Cheers all, I'm off to the Vintage get-together at Bacchus Marsh till the 10th of Jan. I've got 6 gliders to fly and all up spent 9 G, avg price $1,500. Now thats cheap.
