Good prices! About the cost of materials...

I bought a Micro on Ebay last fall for $810 - included trailor and sails. The cabin isn't finished and there was some fiberglassing to do on the transom. Haven't done it yet - don't have it home yet. Going to get it next week. That one was in Cleveland. A few weeks later one in New York, nicely finished, went for just over $1500. - Rosalie

Actualy, it is well documented that homemade boats, especialy plywood ones, are worth less that "the sum of the parts".

At least, that is the argument I used to good effect when I had to pay the taxes on it...

The total is worth less than the sum of the parts? Wasn't this the
gambit that the much maligned corporate raiders of the 80s used? Buy
a company at a deep discount, throw away what was worthless (like
workers), and sell off the remaining assets.

I think my own life might qualify for such treatment!

I would be curious to see
what a Micro would sell for
at open auction on EBay.

Heck, the trailer is worth
more than $650

Last fall, I purchased a Micro, complete with sails, rigging, and
trailer. The main mast and the rudder needs to be rebuilt and one
small area of the cockpit needs to be patched; but overall, the boat
is is good shape. The trailor is commercially built and in good
shape as well. My plans have changed (my wife wanted a bigger boat)
and I've decided to sell the boat. I'm asking $650 for the works;
you can't even buy the materials to build one for that price. I am
located near O'Hare Airport in Chicago. Please email me or call me
at work (847-678-0875)for details and oictures.
