HELPFUL way to sell your boat.....

[letsbarbq]

Hello wise boaters. I have been fortunate to surf the net for the past 4 months with all you wise boaters. its been fun.<br /><br />I don't have much to give in return for all the helpful advices. So I am gonna give only a advice. This is for any of you planning to sell your boat. <br /><br />I've sold my boat in order to get one step closer to my "ideal" boat. I got alot of help from www.boattraders.com - I ran a free ad and just put my web page on there. On my web page I put down a whole bunch of descriptive pictures and writings of the boat. I sold it within one week.<br /><br />If any of you are asking ---"where the heck am I gonna get a web page of my own?" well, no need to worry. NO you do not have to be a computer Guru or geek to do this either. Its very self explanatory.<br /><br />The web site is www.picturetrail.com Once you are there, just sign up for a free page. First you get a screen name and then you fill out a few questions then you are set. First you have to have the pictures on your computer or a disk in order to up load those pictures into your web page. So you have to have a digital camera or scan your boat pictures. You can write whatever you want on them and put whatever picture you please. You can open as many accounts as you wish.<br /><br />For those who know this already. sorry, please bear with me.<br /><br />you can check out what i did -just goto that web site and type in "wellcraft" in that search box and --i'll pop up. - i sold it quick. Just a helpful advice to all those about to sell. Thanks for all the help... I'll keep ya informed of my next baby!<br /><br />letsbarbq! <br /> www.picturetrail.com/wellcraft

Re: HELPFUL way to sell your boat.....

When I posted my ad on www.boatterader.com - i just told them the price and instructed them to refer to my web page for all the details. That way you save a 100 bucks for the pictures and you can customizse whatever you wish on the web page.<br /><br />another thing... YOu dont get those people calling you all the time and asking for pictures , pictures, picutres. this way they'll know exactly what you have !

Re: HELPFUL way to sell your boat.....

BBQ, <br /><br />Great tips, thanks.<br /><br />Also, remember the basics. Give the buyer, at first eyeful, more than they expected.<br /><br />I have NEVER had trouble selling a boat. All but once I've sold it to the first person that looked at it. Second offered more!<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />It was:<br /><br />1. Clean-unbelievebly CLEAN-no surprises!<br /><br />2. All the paperwork was in order. Held necessary registrations/titles to all.<br /><br />3. Willing to do a "sea trial".<br /><br />4. Show them how everything works.<br /><br /># 1 and # 2 are the most important. # 3 shows your confidence.
