Buying used sails in Australia

[Mirage Gecko]

Have been considering extending our sail wardrobe and possibly upgrading and or getting a bigger headsail.Am getting prices on new but would like to compare used.I have done a bit of searching for outlets that specialise in used sails in Aus but have only come up with one operator who is on EBay and appears to be more a consignment operator.
Anyone know of used sail sales in Aus?

I'll be getting rid of my old sails soon. Don't know if they'd be any use to you.

I presume you already found AlanSecondSail on eBay, who works out of Orange or Dubbo. You could also try NZ:

Sail Brokers - Products

or Honkers:

FWIW. I bought a Genoa from alansecondsail on eBay. The sail was exactly as he described: "used probably once". Every sail Alan Barber sells has multiple hi-def images. The man even goes to pains to photograph the slightest flaws. I've spoken to him a few times on the phone, an honest man and highly recommended.
Selling sails in Orange? Yep, used to be a Sydney sail maker.
My Genoa was C. 50% of new price.
Wish he had a mail & a stays'l for me.
