It would never occur to me to look there for an aircraft.....

I wouldn't put an airplane on ebay or look for one there either, but I know several people who've bought and/or sold airplanes there. Craigslist makes more sense but has a bad rep for scams. I've never used CL, but do buy small gun-related stuff (grips, books, etc) off ebay occasionally.
If I was trying to sell an airplane, I'd do an ad on barnstormers. Buying, I'd check there as well as TAP. Probably woldn't mess with CL, definitely not ebay.

If I advertised on Ebay I would have to learn how to post a picture.

I did sell the 701 on Barnstormer's. I had it sold within days.

Alaskaslist.com is the place to look for aircraft up here, better than CL because it has an "aircraft" listing

Somebody tried to scam me through Barnstormers when I was selling the Clipper. It's not that uncommon and they give examples on their website to help you avoid them.

I drool over that section at least once a day.

Every day is another day closer to ownership!

So I stopped using it... But, never say never.

The raped part doesn't sound too bad.(depending circumstances ) The scammed, beat-up and shot part I'm not too fussy bout though.

Hey Gump I think someone needs your help in putting the receiving order of these offenses right should his marriage not work out. Also there needs to be ice weasels in there somewhere.

Ha ha ha! Classic, thanks for adding to my fear. Forgot the ice weasels.

NEVER forget the ice weasels....

Gump...I am beginning to like you! Thanks for the warning.
