Sold the Scout - new twist
Guy came by, checked out the Scout and hauled it away at about 6 pm. He
paid for it, some cash and the bulk with a bank check from a local bank. He seemed very knowledgeable about boats and claimed he had a commercial fishing. He indicated that he was buying the boat for a relative to do some coastal fishing. He also indicated he was not sure who the boat would be titled or registered to yet ... he mentioned possibly his mother ... so we left the buyer's name blank on the title. I received an e-mail later this evening from another guy who had been interested in the boat. He told me the boat I sold was now listed on the Rhode Island Craigslist for significantly more money than I sold it for. I checked, and sure enough, it's there, off the trailer and in what appears to be a boatyard, surrounded by other boats. The location was given as MA and the wording of the listing sure sounds like that of a boat dealer. The listing time was sometime around 7:30 pm, or an hour and a half after he left my yard. Looks like the buyer is either a dealer or he decided to try to "flip" the boat to make some money. My first thought was "scam", but I doubt his bank check is phony because I know how to get hold of him and I know his location. Interesting. Eisboch |
