If it were only possible to educate people before they buy on impulse or because little Johnny wants one. One of my biggest pet peeves is when a young kid decides that they want a glider, without knowing much about them, and the parents buy them one. The kid, like most kids, loses interest in the glider and the parents then put up a post "For Sale". Or worse yet, the glider dies from lack of attention and food. I know that this really isn't a very helpful post, but it is my 2 cents worth.

: You know what I find ironic.
: RIGHT after this thread began with the 1st message,
: I noticed Not 1, Not 2, No, Not even 3. But 4!!!
: 4 NEW posts either giving away or selling gliders!!
: There is a major heatwave happening here!!
: They probably aren't all people who can't take care of them in fact I think 2 or 3 of them are joeys. In a way its good for someone looking to buy. However for the unwanteds, it does bother me too. Its really sad to think.. who will care for them now? Will there be someone?? And what happens if the owner cant find someone " in time" ? WHat then? =[
: Sometimes I wish I had a big farm so i could just take them all in. But maybe if we just urge people to get educated before buying one, then it might atleast slow down because I know impulse buying won't stop. Anyone have any good suggestions?
