Coronavirus effect on bike hobby?

[americanauthors]

I'm now trying to read more about coronavirus cause the problem is getting bigger and bigger. I'm really sorry about the people who got hurt because of it. I started applying Lanolin Oil on my hands, they say it works like a sanitizer. I hope this pandemic situation will be over soon...

Bummer Chris - sorry about that.
Nice boat - kinda' looks like a Hinckley.

Those production boats? Pshhh.

Those production boats? Pshhh.

Well, the older Hinks are still desirable at least. My father used to work at the Hickley boatyard when I was a kid.

I was just kidding, Hinckley's are beautiful boats.

From a seller's point of view EVERYTHING has stopped. All categories of stuff. Not just bikes. Car parts, antiques, junk, etc. I understand if people are now more cautious with their money. This is a hobby and I personally have a lot of projects. I also understand that finishing them requires money needs to be spent. I have put wanted ads up on the CABE. Got a few replies but then those guys disappear. I have responded to a couple of for sale ads here and then those guys disappear. I don't quite get it. Is it that bad? Nobody wants to go to the Post Office? Oh well I am planning to just keep working on the bikes and see what happens. Stay healthy everybody!

Thanks for the info. That seems to be mostly about creating a label and payment processing. Yes , very helpful but item needs to be pulled from the pile, boxed, and gotten out the door. I wonder how many guys here are up to speed with that. I am not that much

works great, been using for ages
all my usps packages go out from the door: hand to the mail carrier
cheaper, and saves time as well so cheaper than cheaper

I shipped my last package yesterday, its local, the postman almost didnt take it. Due to size, but he saw it was a small flat rate.
I guess if you see them driving by you can run after them with your package.

If the mail stops and deliveries stop, we are in for a bad ride.
