I would suggest one of the following: 1) Conduct the auction on the Web. 2) Solicit bids by *Email* through an ad in your 4-line signature. (post the current status there too) 3) Create a kite-business news group, where this, and other trade stuff *would* be welcome. If you'd like help with this, please ask. Andrew -- http://www.kfs.org/kites is having some reliability problems. We will shortly be upgrading CPU, disk and OS to address this. Don't post about splitting rec.kites. Wait for the RFD and CFV.

My personal feelings as a kite flier and business man. Kite prices are just too high. Our sport has to grow. Too may times after getting someone hooked on our sport the question comes How much? This is always a turn off. Iam trying to change that. I will always come up with differnt ways to try to help kite flying, I do not intend to step on anyones lines. Iam just a different kind of Kiter. As for your wanting to help , I thank you I also know that you and my competitor bfk are well respected. This silent auction on rec.kites I thought would be fun.

If you want to involve people from outside of USA - (you may not) - then some longer time period would have to be allowed. eg I find that it may take a week or more for some posts to appear over here.
