IMHO... In the early days (pre-2010) I did well selling (I actually sold a mainsail cover with the name "Ayatolla" emblazened on it!) and buying (e.g a re-built #2 for $50) boat stuff.
The trend I see lately is that it has become less of a amateur sales tool and more of a distribution tool for retailers. Also the amateur sellers and buyers are much more sophisticated and/or have unrealistic expectations of pricing. Consequently I rarely go there anymore but occasionally search if I cant find what I want somewhere else. David F.
