Sailing Gear Needed (Your Old Stuff)

[Rick McClain]

Hey Everybody,
I keep hearing lots of people complaining that they can't get rid of their old sailing gear, but that's mostly their own fault. We have a section on our own site for listing gear but it gets very few listings. I know personally that it works, and well. I sold four sailboards from listings on our site last year. Of course, that was partly thanks to all of you that didn't list your old gear to compete with mine. Thank you.
I have friends looking for gear and there was another fellow out at Utah Lake on Saturday, 10 Sept. with totally inadiquate equipment, looking for gear. He said he hadn't found the gear he needed on the site, yet three people tried to sell him gear while we were there.
Why is everyone so reluctant to use the rexource we have right on our site?
Use It (the UWA Equipment For Sale page) AND Lose It (Your old gear).
