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.

A neighbor of mine had a twin engine gas guzzler that he wanted to get
rid of, a nice clean, late model 34 ft express cruiser that he got at
a relative bargain 4 years ago. There were no reasonable offers in 2
years on the market. He finally found a broker on the east coast of
FL that specializes in the export market. It sold relatively quickly
to an Australian who was not only willing to pay a reasonable price
but also $25K in shipping. Apparently they just can't buy that kind
of boat over there.
