I do not have an axe to grind with Brokers. It is just
that for a 10%
commission I tough I was going to get some legal
protection and assurance
that a sailboat is in good sailing condition and fit to be
purchased at the
asking/neg. price.
I was told point blank by a broker that it was not worth
it to list a
$20.000. sailboat because his commission would only be
$2.000.

that's silly. The last broker I dealt with charged a
percentage, down to a set price, then charged a flat fee.
