Opinions - best way to sell a boat

[NAGG]

Gday Chris, Mate I have been trying to sell my big boat & have been putting it on the buy, swap & sell group's on facebook, I get a lot of enquires but have not found the right person yet. As for tests I took my boat all the way to Grafton 3hrs each way so he could take it for a run in the Clarence river only to be told he loved the boat but didn't want it.

Thanks Baz

I'll make this as easy a buying process for any potential buyer .... local river is fine on my time . I'll tell them come have a look at he boat ..... $250 in cash & we'll go for a fish for a day - they can drive it .... fish from it - ask all the questions they like

Just sold mine 2 weeks ago. Had it on Gumtree, Boatsales and ebay. Got one scam text off Gumtree. I like Gumtree its free. Boatsales was $90 and ebay was $8.00 to list plus % on selling. Sold boat through Gumtree in the end.

Had no tyre kickers, only interested people. The guy who bought it paid by transfer to my account, picked the boat up when payment confirmed. No problems. Personally I think ebay is a rip off, Boatsales is too dear, though I used it. Paypal is similar to bank cheques. Pay, pick up boat and buyer rings Paypal and stops the payment cause he "didn't receive the goods".

Cash money mate on pick up the best way or transfer to your account and he gets the boat when funds cleared in your account. As for proices, my opinion after just seeling mine........ the second hand boat market id depressed at the moment,. A lot of boats on the market, prices down mate sorry you probably don't want t hear that but its the market at the moment.

Interesting comment on the prices .... my type of boat (480 Hornet) very few on the market and all wanting top dollar - My intended sale price would be toward the bottom half of current prices .
