One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet.  A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites.  Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal.  1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.

Quick question regarding jaco connectors with the rubber band. When installing them do you glue the rubber band in place?? If not how do you keep from it popping off and loosing it???

It depends on the kite.  If you're looking at your new BMK kite, for example, your standoff connectors don't get or need o-rings.  The o-rings are for the ballast kit.
