Guy came by, checked out the Scout and hauled it away at about 6 pm. *He

coastal fishing. *He also indicated he was not sure who the boat would be
titled or registered to yet ... he mentioned possibly his mother ... so we
left the buyer's name blank on the title.

I received an e-mail later this evening from another guy who had been
interested in the boat.
He told me the boat I sold was now listed on the Rhode Island Craigslist for
significantly more money than I sold it for. * I checked, and sure enough,
it's there, off the trailer and in what appears to be a boatyard, surrounded
by other boats. *The location was given as MA and the wording of the listing
sure sounds like that of a boat dealer. The listing time was sometime around
7:30 pm, or an hour and a half after he left my yard.

Looks like the buyer is either a dealer or he decided to try to "flip" the
boat to make some money. * My first thought was "scam", but I doubt his bank
check is phony because I know how to get hold of him and I know his
location. * Interesting.

Begging the question; was Craig's List magic, or was the boat so
underpriced that the email was flooding in?

It will be interesting to see what happens to the boat at a
"substantially higher" price- but the bottom line is that if you are
happy with the price you received and the buyer is (at least for now)
obviously excited about the price he paid then you didn't make a bad
deal.
