Sold my boat...WHAT....made money

[paulspaddle]

I bought this 1990 Glastron about a year ago for $2900 off of ebay. Ran it this summer and had a great time with it.

Sold it today for $6500. I made about $1500, after a summer of fun...when does that happen!?

...oh crap...I don't have a boat now...

Anyone in the Minnesota, Wisconsin area with a 18-19' bowrider, 4.3 or more in the $6500 range for sale?....PM me.

Sounds like a deal I'd make with my brother in law to me.. but at least I'd tell him about the tires!

WOW! Thats an amazing price you got for that. I paid the same price for my 2003 Glastron. Now you really hope the guy doesnt stop by the forums.

It doesn't matter what you paid for it. Whoever bought it thought that was a fair price for what they saw and wanted.

We are NOT the "profit police".

Done.

W.C.Fields, said that there's one born every minute.lol
I have made a profit on many of my boats, nothing wrong with that. I should tell you the story about the Psychiatrist who bought one from me.

Exactly that. Anything....car, boat, computer, trinket.....is worth exactly what someone's willing to pay for it at that particular instant. When you bought it, it was worth $2900. It was worth the $6500 to the person who bought it from you.

Nothing wrong with that at all.

$6500 - (new tires + maintenance + gas) -$2900 = $1500
Good job!

Thanks DJ....lots of negative 'energy' out there.

Bottom line is I took a risk in buying this off of ebay sight unseen, put some maintenance into it, bellows, impeller, tires, carb rebuild etc.....had a summer of fun...passed off a 'turn key' boat to another guy at a profit....I felt honest and great about it.

Guess end of season is making guys grumpy.
