Usually the winter time is when to find the bargains, and I always
like looking at ebay for boats, and I see some delicious craft that
should move and they're not even geting a bid. OR they have reserves
and starting bids so jacked up no one is interested.


Looks like some people are wanting to get out of them for what they
either have left on the loan, or they feel because it is apraised at
$15,000, it ought to sell for $15,000.


What ever happened to the $10.00 opening bids with a fair reserve?


Regardless, it looks like people are stuck with what they have.


It's possible that some sellers would rather keep their boat or whatever
than to sell it to some opportunistic shark.


I haven't shopped ebay in a long time. Last time I looked, it seemed
full of sellers who used their other accounts or the accounts of their
friends to sell merchandise.

Gee, that's odd. I shop ebay a lot, and have never had any problems.

Yes, I agree. I've done pretty good buying on ebay. Taht's where I got
both of my boats, and I thought I did pretty good. Now the same types
of boats are being listed at abotu three times the price with no
bidders.

For some reason in the boating side, it doesn't seem like a buyers, or
a sellers market. Stuff is just sitting.


I sold my Bass Tracker to a guy in GA on eBay. He drove over 250 miles,
handed over the cash, and drove it back - another 250 miles. Nice guy.
He had a few questions later about how things worked and was very
satisfied with his purchase.
