I'm sure I'm going to take a beating in todays market, but fuel prices has
taken the fun (and use) out of it.

Thaanks again,

What web site would you suggest to advertize a 1995 Proline 2950 in
the
Biloxi, Ms. area?


Thanks,

Be sure to keep a copy of your SHORT add in Notebook .txt format so
every 3
days you can enter it again. *The list runs day by day from the newest
to
the oldest and re-entering it refreshes your position.


Craig's List is the greatest place to sell ANYTHING except for E-bay,
which
isn't appropriate for something you can't ship to Timbuktu.


Then, you need to think about that awful condition of the economy,
awful
gas prices it drinks like a fish and price it low enough someone will
overlook those terrible conditions and want to buy it......a real
challenge
in 2008!


Boats are hard to sell. *Ask any dealer this spring who isn't a total
liar.


I'd suggest the newspaper also, that's where I found the one I bought..
When
I sold my pickup, I got about ten times the calls from the Washington
Post
ad as I got from Craigslist.

Perhaps, but your suggestion may be a bit outdated.


The net is where it's at. *Newspapers are losing customers at an
alarming rate because of what the net now offers for free.


I would not waste my money on newspaper advertising when you can get
it broadcast to a wider audience on the net for
free.............specifically on Craigslist and other free on line for
sale services.


If you were to buy a boat today.........what media would you use today?

Another outlet is www.boatcrazy.com

But it's more of a midwestern site and don't know if you'd have good
coverage in your area.
