********Now SOLD********
********Now SOLD********
Hi All,
After 25 yrs of windsurfing, it’s time to hang up my windsurfing wet boots!
I have really enjoyed my time on the water and the sport has meant so much to me for so long.
I now have some equipment which I want to sell as a job lot, I just can’t face selling it all separately.
The classifieds section on here looks a bit lifeless and was wondering if there are better places to list it?
It would need to be collection only and I’m in Massachusetts.
I reckon there is well over $3k worth of gear, I’d be happy with $2.75k everything varies from excellent to immaculate condition.
If anyone is interested or knows someone, please let me know my email is badgb21@hotmail.com
I can arrange photos etc, but just easier to come and look at it really!
Thanks for any help.
Kev

I can't help you sell anything, but I CAN commiserate with forced retirement from WSing. I'm not there yet, but can identify a few specific threats to it. I hope you've thought it through very thoroughly, including ways to postpone it on a season-by-season basis. One obvious suggestion: WASH THE DANGED BOOTS! 
I hear you on EBay. I won't go near it even as a fixed-price buyer, let alone a bidder or seller.

Craigslist works. Over the last few years I have sold a few masts and sails. As long as you don't have a big dollar small sized item CL will have minimal amount of scammers after you. My rule is to ignore any reply that has bad grammar.

I can see it now:
"My dear Kook bit the big one last week.
Survivors include ...
Achievements include one-footed no-hands monkey forwards, BFF mastery, ...
Donations are being accepted by the CGWA.
Yada Yada.
Now down to business. Here's a list of his $#!+ priced to move:
HELP!"
Yep. Mine is thoroughly trained in buying and selling at swap meets. However, I am deliberately whittling my inventory down to one big truckload, and have designated some specific items to be given to some deserving people.

and spelling. The whole cellphone/tweeting/IM/OMG generation can just buy NEW stuff for all I care.

Thanks for the advice.
Some of it made me smile too
Maybe I could squeeze a few more sessions out before my elbow knees and back finally give in!
Advil profits will certainly reduce when I finally stop!
I need to catalogue the equipment and give it some effort, though I suspect Spring may yield better results.
Thanks
Kev

Proper exercises and PT are normally far more helpful and less harmful than NSAIDS.
