Be careful when buying from a marine consignment shop, they used to be places to get good deals but in the last 15 or 20 years, not so much.
I recall looking for a wind generator recently, all across the US they wanted up to 2/3 the cost of brand new, for old, obsolete, unsupported, iffy generators! That just makes no sense. It seems that folks who bring stuff in believe that if they just wait long enough, there is always a sucker. Maybe they are right but folks like me won't buy then. Instead what I did was I found a new still in box wind genny for 1/4th the cost of manufactures list price on Amazon. Hard to beat. I think with deals like that consignment shops are pricing themselves out of business eventually. At Bacons, years ago, they wanted 70% the cost of new for old, bent, corroded hawspipe covers. I couldn't talk them down so I just bought new. Some sucker prob bought those thinking it was a good deal. Kinda reminds me of pawn shops nowadays. Ebay can have some good deals though, and not all consingment shops are like that, the one in ST. Augistine FL always had reasonable prices. -Ken _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
