I'll make an offer - done deal!

Seriously, can you just pull it off the market? Don't you have a
brokerage agreement that favors...the broker? I guess you could hold
firm on your price and hope he walks but you probably have a 90 day
contract.

The terms of the broker's contract allow you to take it off the market at
any time, however if you sell it within a certain time frame afterward (I
think it's either 6 months or a year) to a party that the broker brought
to the table through his sales/advertising efforts, you are obligated to
pay him a commission. Fair enough.

Now, I am thinking of selling the Scout 202 Sportsfish but I'll probably
do that without using a broker. It's been sitting unused for quite a
while but only has something like 24 hours on the engine meter. I held on
to it in case I got the itch to do some small boat fishing with a
trailerable boat, but I don't think it's going to happen. Too many other
activities right now.

It will be a great deal for someone who wants to do a little cleanup,
probably install a couple of new batteries and do some basic maintenance.
I listed it over on rec.boats.marketplace the other day and have already
received a couple of emails from interested parties. Problem is, they
want to know "why so cheap?"

Sure wish I had a way to get that beauty to Florida.
