Default R-22, Bart's winter boat deal pick

.... However the
sailboat market is really in the dumper right now.
Everybody who wants a boat badly enough to actually pay for
one, already has one (or in most cases more than one).

If it were baloney, then why would we be discussing a nice little boat selling on
EBay for a song? Well, OK more than a song, a less favorite album maybe....


..... I just
sold an extra boat I had 3 weeks ago. I advertised it for less than a month and
got a huge response. The couple who bought it, drove from the shores of Lake
Michigan via Canada, to Connecticut to pay the full asking price and trailer it
home. That was a more than 2 thousand mile round trip. There was a steady stream
of potential customers who looked at the boat, mostly from out of state, who
drove a long way to look at the boat. When it sold, I had to email a half a
dozen people to cancel their trips, including folks in Massachucetts, New
Hampshire, New York State and Long Island.


Well, that sounds great. I'm happy for you. But your selling experience is rather
outside the usual, hence the good number of boats on EBay, the many many boats
listed for long time unsold in other classifieds, etc etc.

In short, my post was not baloney. You just have the good luck to have a contrary
experience. You should have a more positive attitude.

BTW what kind of boat was it?
