Chuck, a tailwheel airplane will be tough to sell for at least two reasons; lack of competent tailwheel instructors; and insurance requirements, generally 20 hours or more in make and model, and certainly no basic instruction.

Plus, if your airplane is Canadian registration, and you did the TW conversion in Canada there are further complications. When I was shopping for a TW 150 I encountered one that had been converted in Canada, and I gave it a pass.

When I learned to fly in the late 40s tailwheel airplanes were all there were, if you didn't count Bonanzas, Navions and Ercoupes, and real men didn't fly Ercoupes. Also, society was a hell of lot less litiguous. Renter insurance was un-heard-of, and liability claims likewise, aviation was considered dangerous and anybody who flew had to be nuts. And, of course, airplanes were easier to fix then. We aren't going back to those days, no matter how much we may wish to.
