When the Certificate of Support program was started at GB, many of the original list members publicly voiced the sentiment that if you sold a boat on the list you should kick up 5% to the capo. A couple times people were list shamed for posting in competition to the Rhodes corral used boats on the GB website and not wanting to pay Stan for the privilege. So then several owners, who had not purchased their boat from Stan offered to pay the 5% (then 10%) for the C of S to sell on the list...assumingly (but quite obviously) to avoid negative comments, if not to also entice buyers. But no, selling a used Rhodes 22 on the list has to my knowledge never been prohibited by policy statement. List members have however, repeatedly commented negatively toward those who compete against Stan for business or profit on the list, whether selling their boat or making and selling replacement parts or accessories. Art had a run in years ago with GB over boom rooms, and recently Chris did too over his new business venture. Even I ganged up on Chris. I alologize Chris. Todd T.See the original archive post
