I have been reading with interest, the for’s and against’s of ebay selling items in the last few posts, and am all for ‘getting back to the topic’. However, just before I do, I would like to point out that I thought that putting some of my items of interest on this forum, would stimulate interest and comment. Nearly all my pieces have historical interest, and many of them have a immediate use to builders of flying ,static and cockpit projects. Museums,(although they always plead poverty) have also shown great interest.
Unfortunately, I received some ‘sniping’ posts complaining that I was using the forum to gain conformation of some of the items, and then putting them up for sale on Ebay.
I thought this forum was for the interest of all members to see and dicuss a spectrum of aviation subjects, including rare and not so rare artifacts of interest.The fact that they appear on Ebay afterwards is neither here nor there after the forum has seen and possibly discussed them. I have never said they were available for sale, but it would seem that when an icon like Hurricane is put up for sale and virtually advertised on the forum….well that’s OK.
No more hypocrosy please gentlemen.
All that has been achieved is that I no longer post items of interest I thought this forum would like to have seen and discussed.
