Just remember that a "winning" bid on E-bay has no legal force. It just
connects a buyer and seller. You'll still need to get a deposit, sign a
sales contract blah blah blah. If they back out after bidding, there's
nothing you can do except file a non-paying bidder alert on E-Bay. I had
this happen to me. Still, it generated a sales contract, something a broker
couldn't do in a year. This is the future in boat sales.

I've already advertised in here before... I'm not retrying again but I do
think we'll have to repost the boat once the auction is up. I want to
make
sure I take any suggestions that may help in the future. We've been told
by
numerous sources that we should ask for $40k plus when putting it on the
market. I think you may be right though that people on ebay are looking
for
wholesale (or less than wholesale) price on a boat.

While I think this might be a cute way to advirtise the boat.... LOL

I think your price is near retail for a six year old used boat like
that.
Most Ebay people are looking for real "deals".

Hello everyone,

We're selling a boat on Ebay for the first time at



http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=2452145 905
but not getting any bids. Does everything seem in order in my
auction?
Do
you have any suggestions as to how I can approve it? The reason we're
starting the price at $37k is because that is the least we'd like to
take
for the boat. It is worth much more according to local marinas. At
any
rate, they charge $40 to list the boat and then $40 when someone bids,

so
we
didn't want to set the auction start at $1 for instance and set our
reserve
at $37k. Thank you in advance for any of your suggestions.
