I emailed the guy advertising "your" boat on Craig's List. I asked him if
it was the same rig with the exact same pictures that is advertised on
YachtWorld.com.

Funny thing, no reply. 8)


I also emailed him at the address he originally contacted me with. Surprise
... no answer.
I have his phone number .... but what's the point .... what's done is done.
If he's a dealer, which I now suspect, he didn't do anything illegal. I
think he was a bit dishonest and shady in the manner in which he represented
himself to me but I have to ask myself this:

If he had been up front and told me he was a dealer and intended to resell
the boat the boat, would it have made any difference to me? The answer is
no. He paid my asking price. I think the only thing that bugs me is the
fact that I think I was more honest in the description of the boat's
condition and history in the original listing and on the referenced link to
my website. On the other hand, he may perform all the service and
maintenance issues the boat and engine require before selling it.

One of the other interested parties that responded to my original listing
... in fact, the one who later discovered and informed me of the boat being
listed again on the Providence Craigslist made an offer to him.

He worded his offer as follows: "I'll give you 500 bucks more than what you
paid for it, $12,500."

That's all?

Hell, I would have given you $12,000 as is when I saw it last year.
