What thirty used toilets for sale can tell you...

The problem with creating crime, an interesting read, and, just maybe, a glimmer of justice in the works...

I used to work in a marine consignment store... It taught me a lot.

In the main, people brought us gear that they were replacing and, for the most part, people don't replace gear unless it is problematic, has issues, or is defective in some way or other.

That can tell you a lot about equipment...

For instance, we had a lot of marine toilets but the lion's share were toilets of the macerator sort. Folks were always bringing them because they were tired of owning a toilet that failed on a regular basis with expensive parts that needed replacing so they'd bring in the toilet and buy a LAVAC.

Of course, we never ever had any LAVACs on consignment because they actually worked so well nobody ever wanted to replace them...

I expect there's a lesson in there somewhere.
