Hang in there. What's that boat worth, really? Somebody will happen

Thanks - it just ****ed me off. *I could never do retail boat sales -
I'd end up shooting somebody. *:)

I figure it's worth about $4500 +/- a couple of hundred. *It is what
it is - a sound boat in sound mechanical condition with a full suite
of sails, covers with a trailer and a 10 horse electric start
outboard.


Then it's the idiot who offered you $600 who is the loser in this
situation, not you.


Justice will prevail on the day when he finds somebody who accepts his
$600 offer on what should be a $4500 boat and the buyer only finds out
exactly why after the deal is done and the money has changed
hands. :-)
