Default Negotiating Price on Used Sailboat

Cate,

It does depend a lot on how the boat is being sold and what kind & model
boat it is.

I sold my boat, a Gulf 29, which is a very desirable boat right now. It
went on the market for $30,000.00.

The First buyer offered the 10% figure, which would have left me with a
20% value. I said no to that price.

Before the buyer could make another offer another buy met the asking
price, which I accepted. With the Brokers 10% I got $27,000.00.
