The price some things go for on #bay is just crazy. Especially if it is a full set up. Old windsurfers, whalers, windrushes, ten cate gear selling for up to 300 bucks. Just don't get it and how someone could be stupid enough to pay that.

I bought a one-design type setup back in 2003 for about $250, as I had never seen any modern equipment at that point. I never did use it or even rig it up as luckily I discovered an instructor that used modern gear. Before that I hired one-design type stuff from a local yacht club, and as far as I knew that was normal equipment.
It's funny that now I know where all the sailors go, you can't miss them, but before I wouldn't know where to go. It's sort of funny (to non-sailors) that a lot of sailors go out in winds and weather where most other people would prefer to stay at home in front of the heater.
Now, back to the ebay sail. Do I need to iron the creases into my really old sails to get more for them, or should they sell without them? :)
