   Post on New guy worried about initial investment in Introduce yourself

   By KenCiv, posted 23 Jul 2015

   Hello,
    
   I am new to this forum and hope some of you can shed some light on my concerns. For several months I have been following ads mostly on Barnstomers. Originally I was looking for a Sonex but decided it was just too small for me. I became very interested in the Avid Flyer and the KitFox. After monitoring Barnstomers ads for these 3 different planes I noticed that almost all the ads expire without a sale. Even the ads that say motivated seller or price reduced make me an offer do not seem successful overall. I know each seller has their own and varied expectations for what they are willing to settle for but I see very little success in sales overall. If I am going to invest a sizable amount of money I would like to think that at a later date I will be able to recoup some of my investment. Is it just a bad economy or has it always been this way? I wish there was a way to go back and look at the expired ads on Barnstomers  and have the opportunity to contact the owners who may have given up trying to sell their planes. I am a serious buyer and not a tire kicker and hope some of you can offer me some advice.
   Thanks
   Ken C.
