I am posting here in an effort to gauge interest. I've got about ten lengths of carbon fiber tubing, each about 7 to 9 feet long, with an outer diameter of 1.5 to 3 inches. I am thinking about selling the stuff. I figured they could be used as wing spars or fuselages for larger builds. These tubes are unidirectional roll wrapped carbon fiber tubes. They have a very high bending stiffness and hoop strength relative to their weight. They also taper from one end to the other. A tube of this length/size would usually retail for a couple hundred dollars, but I would consider selling them for about $50 plus shipping if people are interested (I got a load of them for free). I can post details and pictures if anyone is interested.

The shorter ones start around 1.75 inches and taper to about 1 inch. The longer ones start around 3 inches and taper to 1.5 inches. They used to be racing oars, I got them from a rowing club that was getting rid of them. Blade designs have changed, and now they're outdated. I took the ones with good shafts and chopped the blades/handles. I figured I'd ship them the same way that they ship new oars. They've got these long triangular cardboard boxes. I'll probably post pictures sometime in the next few days.
Are you asking $50 a piece of $50 for the lot?
