Then again, Chuck would probably claim that you underpaid by at
least $8,000.

What provokes your ridiculous personal remarks? *Certainly isn't
anything I post about you- I virtually never mention you. Our
apparently increasing mutual disdain doesn't need to be constantly
inserted into random threads.

Jesus Chuck - just funnin'.

You seriously need an injection of humor. *There was nothing personal
in that - in a million years you couldn't make something personal
about that unless you really, really wanted to.

And you were the one who insisted that there is a $10,000 market
for $6,000 boats.

Remember that?

Come one man, I respect you and always have - you are knowledgable,
if a little wordy, and I have never once blasted your articles
when they were posted here. *I may not agree with you on some
issues, but I have never disrespected you.

Well, ok, maybe the Bayliner thing but you deserved that. :)

Tom- I'm sorry if I over reacted. Please accept this public apology
for a rather nonproductive public comment. Taking daily shots from a
couple of darn-nearly nonboaters who hang around here primarily to
post off topic and make negative personal remarks has me overly
sensitized. If I had my 'druthers, I'd just simply avoid name dropping
in any of my posts and ask others to do the same.
It's the topics that are important here, not the personalities.

This is supposed to be a newsgroup. Observing that "Gould's an a-hole"
is hardly news. :-)

As far as a $10,000 market for $6000 Bayliners goes, some people might
be very surprised at just how regional the market for that particular
brand can be.
Undoubtedly there are places where a boat that would bring $10k in the
Pac NW would have to be dumped for $6k to find a buyer- but a boat is
only worth (locally) what it will sell for (locally). I can't remember
stating that some boat sold for $6,000 should have brought $10,000- as
an ex yacht broker I would hesitate to assign a value to any boat
without a personal inspection. I do admit to, and stand by, an
observation that an advertised price for a boat that results in the
phone ringing off the hook or the email box filling up almost
immediately was likely too low. The boat market will never be a
"seller's market" unless the seller makes an obvious sacrifice.
