After that they will all go back to the manufacturers to be
re-distributed to the dealer networks to be sold for retail. As of
August 27th 2008 we have 51 boats in stock. They will go soon, so tell

I don't. Never been to a "Going-out-of-business sale."
But it seems the those I've talked to that have gone to such didn't
have much good to say about it.
Business inventory reminds me of futures trading somewhat.
When on the losing end you hate to take a loss and sometimes
don't face reality - so increase your loss.
That part about the stuff going back to the dealer network to be sold
at retail is pure fantasy.

I purchased our one and only new boat from a Chris Craft dealer going
out of business. Got a helluva deal on it and sold it for more than
we purchased it for.- Hide quoted text -

Getting almost as unbelievable as Harry!

could be true. *I went to boat dealer going out of business sale and they
forgot to put a reserve price on the boats. *At least 1 boat. *Guy got it
for about 10% of value. *After that they stated there was a reserve value.- Hide quoted text -

Just like car salesmen, they'll make you THINK you're getting them by
the short hairs....while they're laughing all the way to the bank.
Where you been fishing lately, man?
