What boat?


It has never looked to me like big ticket items sell all that much on
ebay. *Cars or boats. *No matter what the economy is doing. *It's more
of a local sale item and that's not ebay's strength. *I'd go to
craig's list first myself.


You're right. But i usually "window shop" on ebay. It's fun to look
and I've gotten some good stuff on there. But it's jsut an observance
that a few years ago boats were being bought and sold with lots of
bids, especially starting this time of the year.

then again, with a reserve or not, people were starting bids much
lower than what they are now instead of making the auctions into a
semi-classified ad.

I still think that some of them are people trying to get out of them
what they owe at the bank
