At $1050, my original asking price was only a 25% discount, approximately.  
Considering that a prospective buyer has no 
recourse back to a dealer if he buys from me, perhaps my price should be lower. 
 The legs have already been drilled, 
and that perhaps a buyer might want to fill with flox and re-drill the 
holes, there's some risk to the buyer. Sure, you're getting three tubes and 
used wheels, albeit with new bearings, and some tires you can use 
on the ground until you get new ones to fly with, but there's not much 
value there.  One shopper said I was asking more than he thought he wanted to 
pay, which caused me to think.  I've rethought my marketing strategy, 
and reset the price point.  I don't know what that means, exactly, but 
maybe my price is now more in line with what a prudent buyer would pay.  $800 
and free freight in CONUS.  That's about 60 per cent of brand new.  If no one 
buys at that price, maybe I'll make a wheelbarrow or stick 'em on a hovercraft 
or something...
