Just curious, Frank, but what exactly are YOU shopping for while making all these discoveries? And, more importantly, does Martha know that you're spending hours scouring eBay? ;-)

I have been looking for the perfect power panel, it takes you through lots of Power Boat stuff. I usually just cruise the sailboat accessories, when you back it up a level to boat accessories it gets pretty crazy.
I am currently bidding on


PERKO Quality zamac twist lock hasps (PAIR)
--replacement for my rusted ratty companionway hasp.

STAINLESS STEEL CONVERTIBLE TOP SNAPS
--more snaps for repairing my cabintop cover after a season of wear.

Hood Single block with shackle 2" sheave
--everyone should own something with the name Hood on it.

Catalina 27 Masthead Crane - *New
--I just know I can make it work

Gudgeons for 5/16" pintles- OEM part for Catalina yacht
--if I am ever going to add a third pintle I will need these

5 Step Folding STOWAWAY Rope BOAT LADDER NEW
--to tie up at the dolphin striker on my Hobie 17 so I can get back on board

New Sunfish Spar Bag
--a road bag to cover the comp tip on the Hobie and add a red flag.

Hey I did not bid on the radar mount or the bow tank, I only bid on things I really need!!

Here is a picture of my $50 Mylar 130

I bought "Freya" on eBay!

I took a big risk ... sight unseen and no survey ... one of the BEST purchases of my life ... and ... it is only fitting that this is my 1000th post!

Buzz - You bought your C25 on eBay without having seen it and without a survey? Man, you are a risk-taking dude. What do you do for fun, pick fights in biker bars?

He's not the only one. Call it a calculated risk or call it crazy, but I bought (won) a $15,000 car for $10,000 on eBay, and paid for it with a credit card. Like Buzz, no regrets.
