Rooting around in my 'bulked-out' boatshed, I discover I have seven anchors - three of them Fortress Fx-***
Encouraged by a very recent post in 'For Sale' here, I've revalued my collection and, even allowing for price inflation, I seem to be well ahead in the apparent worth of my anchoring portfolio.

Fashions come and go in boaty hardware as well as trendy clothing and sports cars. I'm well aware a 'value' is only/solely what a buyer is willing to pay, but the market for quality anchors seems to be holding up.

You may be wondering why this is posted here. The answer is that I had another peruse of the 'terms and conditions' for posting in the Lounge, and was frightened off by fear of awakening the wrath of a menacing moderator....

One refers the poster to a section of the For Sale forum which is worth re-iterating.

The For sale rules are found here:_

For Sale Rules: Please Read Before Posting | YBW Forum

"
Please read and follow or your post may be deleted and future access denied without further notice.

1. This facility is available to established and regular contributors to the wider YBW forum who occasionally have a tangible item for sale.

2. The forum limit is £400. We hope this forum will act as somewhere where we can exchange boating odds and sods, rather than a major trading post.

3. Please state the price of the item on your post (no 'open to offers'). Items over the limit of £400 will be removed and please do not make offers such as 'Half of this engine for £400' as these will be removed too.

4. You may post links to auction websites for items that would be expected to sell for less that the £400 limit of this forum - please include a starting bid and/or 'buy now' price.

This allows users who want to sell products (within the forum limit) to do so in a secure environment (for the buyer and the seller). However, we will still not allow BOATS FOR SALE (except tenders).

5. If you are posting a link to eBay in your thread, please state so in the thread title or your thread may be removed.

6. Please do not advertise animals, weapons, pharmaceuticals/drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or rentals (such as boats, berths, moorings, kit, property), etc., items for sale should be a one-time purchase of a physical boating item.

7. This is not a place to advertise company websites or wholesale, goods or services, it's for private individuals selling items they no longer want, not for commercial ventures.

Failure to comply with the above may result in your posts being removed and/or your access to this section of the forum being permanently disabled without notice. "
