This has been for sale for years.  I contacted him years ago and he sent me a fairly polished brochure about how he it just  needed this and that to be completed.  It was stuck up in his rafters and I think he had to give up for medical reasons.  It was priced way to high at the time.  I dont know what he is asking now but this has to be a record time  for a long eze for sale.  Maybe he is stubborn on price dont know .

I don't know what is up with that message.  If you are a registered member (free), it doesn't appear.

Definitely no requirement to pay to use HBA. Great forum with loads of knowledgeable users sharing their knowledge and experience, I highly recommend it.

[court]

I wonder if it's because you have had accounts there for a while? I signed up for an account but I can only see the first message. All the others are blanked out.

Here's what it looks like for me:

Ah, well there you go. I wasn't aware that subsection was a Supporting Member only area.
I do indeed voluntarily put a little towards some sites that provide me with good value.

I have not made any donations to HBA but have full access to view all the pictures. It may be that you just created your account.

Looks like ive bought this project for a reasonable price .  This project started out in ohio and was then passed around to a couple of owners who never worked on it .  Now i have to figure out how to transport it to utah from colorado.  Apparently with the strakes it is too wide to put flat on a trailer . One previous owner transported it with this setup below .  Seems a bit precarious to me .  I have a car trailer does anyone have any expertise in transporting long ezes

COZY MK IV PROJECT • $10,000 • PROJECT FOR SALE • Almost 50% complete. Previous builder had about $15K invested in it and about 700 hours. Make offer! • VISIT WEBSITE FOR INFO & PICS • Contact Alan Johnson , Owner - located Bristol, WI 53104 United States • Telephone: 2623590090 • Posted September 23, 2023

 

The website (https://aviationsoul.com/pages/cozy ) mentions a canopy and wheels, but I don't see any wheels in the photos.  There's a large box in the photos as well, but no photo of what's *in* the box.

@Marc Zeitlin are the photos good enough that you could make any rough judgments about build quality?

COZY MK IV PROJECT • $10,000 • PROJECT FOR SALE • Almost 50% complete...

@Marc Zeitlin are the photos good enough that you could make any rough judgments about build quality?

So a few comments. Mr. Johnson bought the project about 2 - 2.5 years ago for no more than $7K (because that's what the previous owner said in public that he'd sell it for), so the $10K seems a bit high - a 50% premium for doing nothing doesn't sound reasonable to me.

Secondly, making informed judgements about build quality from pics on the interwebs is hard, even with great closeups. As I've said numerous times, I've seen crap that looked great in pics, and great work that looked like crap in pics. Don't know why that is, but it is.

In this case, the pics look good and there's nothing obviously wrong - the shipping protection looks good and it was cared for in the move. What would one see in person? Impossible to say.

And in no extant universe is this thing "almost 50%" complete - maybe 20%, if that. No one really understands how much work is involved in building a plans-built aircraft... After the structure is complete (spar, strakes, LG, wings, etc.) THEN you're about 1/2 done.

All good feedback, but...

You're basing value relative to the prior purchase price. You wouldn't negotiate with someone relative to the original price you paid for your house, would you? Considering rampant inflation, the scarcity of projects like this, good quality (I am assuming from the pics), and the value of one's time to get this far, "$10,000 or reasonable offer" may be perfect for the right buyer. It's definitely in the ballpark IMO.
