Hi Russ,

Sounds like a good idea. Do you need to be a member of facebook?

yes- 'fraid so Toby, but now over 500 members, so please do:

- post stuff for sale
- buy stuff if it's cheap
- invite your sailing friends on Facebook

no russ, it was your idea, just coupled and implemented with a direct rip off of something the windsurfers have been running for a while.

You spotted the opportunity and I've sold 3 items of good quality, but under used sailing kit that I can't really see me using ever again... so I've made a bit of cash on stuff that would have otherwise been junked in a garage clear out in 2015, and I did so without losing the feel good factor in eBay fees or hassle factor of complete randoms buying the stuff... at least this way there's the considerably less than the six degrees of separation thing going on, probably offering a far better confidence factor than eBay could even hope to achieve.

I think the least I owe you is a pint!

Yep- my brother in law is listed as his nickname, broken into two words.

Peaky McBlaze would do?
