Cost of Mast, Rigging components, and Sails from a 28ft heavy displacement keeler - in second hand but good condition??

Depends weather your buying or selling

Comes down to willing seller willing buyer

To replace with new no change from $50k would be my pick, but could be 100 or more depending on spec

Selling yeah.  I sail junk rigs, but have a second hand bermudan sloop rig with furler as per my OP that I might stick on Trade Me at some stage.

$50K new sounds ridiculous, but I'm not in the loop and I don't doubt your right - no wonder people buy second hand

Trade me with $1 reserve and see what happens 

In general I'm a fan of this approach. But for niche items there's a risk that your buyers aren't paying attention that week.

Yeah Im not going to put it on for a $1 reserve as it's worth a few thousand at least -- good masts are not cheap.  Just was after an idea of both mast, and sails including furler, if its $4K, $5K, $6K or more if in quite good shape.  I understand a brand new mast these days for a 28 foot plus boat, would be north of $8K .... and that is without all the fittings, stays - then a suit of sails on top....might start auction at $3K no reserve....

On TM now you can add a "make an offer" option.  This seems to be the best of both worlds.  Set a start and reserve at the high end of your expectations, but allow bidders to send in their low-ball offers so you can consider them.

I've put the the whole shebang up for sale on 'Classified' sites, for a pretty knock down price for anyone interested - mast, furler, sails and all components of the rig.
