Selling Boats Rant

[Seevee]

Hi,

This is to all folks that are trying to sell a boat out there, and this is a pet peeve of mine, and I'm sure other buyers.

So, often we see a seller with a $100K boat to sell that is really nice, and take nickel pictures that looks like crap, and with the covers on, and has no clue how to use a camera. A seller can't take too many pictures, and could argue strongly to hire a GOOD photographer. Absolutely no excuse, and mostly dealers that should know!

Also, they fail to provide complete specs and leave major things out, like what power it has, electronics, options, and specs and even the year of the boat.

I've got to the point that I just skip those ads.

Sellers, SELL your boat, it's a tough market out there.....

Rant off.

Re: Selling Boats Rant

If you skip those ads, then why rant about it?

It usually because a closer better look is to revealing. It's a great idea to pass on those boats without wasting time.

Those ads, along with the ones with heading like "boat", or "old boat", or " fishing boat", the ads with poor photos, and the sellers that are hard to communicate with, are often where gems can be found. Sold by people that have no idea what they are selling, or what it is worth.
