Hello
okay, I was hoping to sell something at a collector’s fair in Machester, but they’re fully booked. Question: what’s eHangar like? Obviously, rules of this forum prohibit me selling anything here, but can anyone recommend eHangar, or suggest where I can sell 800 copies of a 12″ x 16″ print I produced two years ago? I have no budget or transport to travel to and fro.

Apparently there is a air collectors fair at Whitwick near Loughborough on November 7th. Fingers Crossed.

Oh, what on earth’s the matter with NASM? That’s superb and you are certainly entering into the right spirit (boom, boom!). Have you tried offering it to Musee de L’Air at Le Bourget?

As I said, it was just an idea. If I might ask, what aircraft is portrayed?

Have you considered offering some at a reduced rate to the gift shops of museums to sell so they can raise funds? Just an idea…
Tried that.
When I originally had the idea of producing this print I contacted a number of museums – including the NASM, who own this aeroplane. They, like many others were very interested – but when samples of the finished print were posted to around 20 museums across America – they all changed there mind.
The quality of the print is excellent – no problems there, but it appears that they had all spent that year’s budget. I still have 800 copies left and the printer wants paying.
Lessons learnt?
I was going to write a list of lessons learnt and observations made, but I don’t want to be flamed by our American cousins. Let’s just say, I’m not going to produce anything directed at the American market.
Very few make a living out of our hobby. If you think of an idea – no doubt its been done before. Oh, I’ve also tried ebay – no luck, when your feedback rating is 2 or 3.
Enough ranting – time for din dins.

E-bay should shift a few.
