This morning, just for giggles, I listed the Scout on Craigslist with a link
to my website with current pictures. I carefully and fully explained that I
was selling it "as is" and that it had not been run for over two years.
(gave a short history of the boat). I priced it accordingly. I figured if
there were no takers, I'd get the boat detailed, buy new batteries, get the
engine serviced, etc. .... whatever it needed and then sell it, obviously
at a higher price.

Within 15 minutes my email inbox was filling with responses to the listing.
Most obviously had not bothered to read the description because they were
asking a million questions that I had already answered. One guy however had
obviously read it, is familiar with the Scout brand, recognized it was a
good deal and bought it sight unseen. Took less than an hour following the
listing. People must go to work and read Craigslist all morning at the
office. Anyway, he's coming by later this afternoon to pick it up.
Meanwhile, I had to delete the listing on Craigslist because my inbox was
dinging about once or twice a minute. Lotsa boat buyers out there right
now.

I can't believe some of the other responses. Many wanted to see the boat in
the water, go for a ride, (even though I had explained that it wasn't even
registered) and a couple asked if the price was "negotiable". I had
priced it at approximately one half of its current market value. Everyone
wants a "deal".

Ok. Now the fleet is down to two boats. Now to get rid of some cars so I
have room for some more stuff. I drive myself crazy.

Congratulations! I wish I were living down in North Carolina already. I may
have bought it, although it's bigger than I want for a lake.

Before you sell all the autos, let us know what's happening!

Since JohnH is stuck in a 50's mindset regarding the environment, that '55
Ford truck would be perfect for him.
It even has a Mustang engine to help him feel sporty around the high school
crowd.

That truck is a blast to run around in. It really ****ed me off when I
caught the door on a tree while backing it up a few weeks ago. Oh well ...
something else to fix.

Almost the same damage happened to my mini-van a few years ago. I was up at
our Costco in an open area (industrial park) and paked pointing away from
the wind. When I opened my door, a strong gust took it and slammed it open
damaging both door and driver side fender. I had to travel 250 miles to a
funeral so I forced the door open numerous times and made the damage worse.
I had to pay the first *%$^ $500.00 to have it fixed.

Fortunately, they made very robust door hinges in 1955. They aren't
damaged, just misadjusted due to them sliding a little under the bolt heads.
It was too darn cold to play with it the day it happened, so I just put the
truck away until spring.

Almost changed over to a govt run insurance program like they have in a
couple of provinces out west.
Our polticians sold us out to the insurance industry...for the right price I
assume.
