Thanks, Joe http://gulfport.craigslist.org/ Be sure to keep a copy of your SHORT add in Notebook .txt format so every 3 days you can enter it again. *The list runs day by day from the newest to the oldest and re-entering it refreshes your position. Craig's List is the greatest place to sell ANYTHING except for E-bay, which isn't appropriate for something you can't ship to Timbuktu. Then, you need to think about that awful condition of the economy, awful gas prices it drinks like a fish and price it low enough someone will overlook those terrible conditions and want to buy it......a real challenge in 2008! Boats are hard to sell. *Ask any dealer this spring who isn't a total liar. Look on ebay and you're see that boats are bringing a good dollar. actually better now then when fuel was $2.00 a gal., two years ago.I suppose people are getting used to the idea that they're going to burn their wallet on fuel one way or another.so they're still buying used boats and paying good for them. |

Boats are hard to sell. *Ask any dealer this spring who isn't a total liar. I'd suggest the newspaper also, that's where I found the one I bought.. When I sold my pickup, I got about ten times the calls from the Washington Post ad as I got from Craigslist. -- John *H* Perhaps, but your suggestion may be a bit outdated. The net is where it's at. *Newspapers are losing customers at an alarming rate because of what the net now offers for free. I would not waste my money on newspaper advertising when you can get it broadcast to a wider audience on the net for free.............specifically on Craigslist and other free on line for sale services. If you were to buy a boat today.........what media would you use today? edit alarming...........not arising- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Another outlet is www.boatcrazy.com But it's more of a midwestern site and don't know if you'd have good coverage in your area. |
