Hi,
I don't like the broker currently selling my boat.SNIP

A year ago, I had a broker like that. He had the boat 90 days and did
nothing with it. I waited for the contract to expire, then posted it
on Craig's List. Sold it in a week. SNIP

Yeah, thought of that. For one thing, I'm the World's Worst Salesman.
I know my asking price is a bit high (although it's lower than the
survey said it was worth), but I know the sellers will be
"bargaining". It's worth the commission to have THEM deal with the
looky-loos, the low-ballers, and have on their conscience "the one
that got away" (and I really don't like hearing how bad my boat is,
which is of course what the sellers will do to try for a lower
price!).

My concern is not that he hasn't sold the boat yet, but more HOW he's
selling it: if you look at Meridian Yacht's website, they have 8
sailboats including mine, and it seems that ALL the others are better
presented.

Anyway, I've emailed him with a list of problems with the "full specs"
and I'll see how he deals with that.
