Harry said my pontoon is only worth about $.60 a lb. for scrap.

Yknow, that’s not bad.

At least it’s worth way more than an imaginary twin -Volvo diesel trawler that’s worth absolutely nothing to anyone except to its owner.

Sky's the limit with an imaginary boat, and you can always sell it for
more than you paid.

Especially if you sell it to yourself....


I thought I had mine sold, but I haven't gotten the check yet.


It is not really "sold" until the check clears.
I am not sure I have ever taken a check for anything like that.
When we sold Judy's CR-v the lady was upset when I said I wanted cash
and they gave me a real dirty look when I swiped each bill with a
counterfeit pen.
I guess that comes from being in the Harley business.


Well, I know where the prospective buyer lives, so I'm not too worried about the check not clearing.
I'll be sure to let the group know what happens. The agreed price included a profit, which maybe
I'll let drop a bit.
