There is an old saying about Brokers.

"You can tell if a broker is lying if his lips are moving."

I have had my 2002 SeaRay 176BR on the market since January. I figured
I would put it on the market early in the season and just see what
happens so I gave it to a local broker. The broker (Brystar marine)
sells for whatever they can get above the sellers price. Now I just
want to get rid of the boat payment and I am not interested in making a
profit. I tell him that I only want 11,000 for the boat which is what
is still owed and I figured he would still be able to make plenty of
profit from the sell since the blue book value is around 13,000. His
greed is very remarkable though. He has the boat listed at 14,500. This
is over 30%! I didn't mind for at the time being because I didn't
think it would sell before spring anyway and I am just biding my time
until the weather improves and the market starts getting hot. I
recently asked how things are going with the sell and he had the nerve
to try to get me to lower my price! I know it's all part of the game
but the greed is just amazing. I have given him his thirty-day notice
and if he can't sell it in that period I will put it on the market
for 11,000 just in time for the weather to be beautiful.
