I don't. Never been to a "Going-out-of-business sale."
But it seems the those I've talked to that have gone to such didn't
have much good to say about it.
Business inventory reminds me of futures trading somewhat.
When on the losing end you hate to take a loss and sometimes
don't face reality - so increase your loss.

I purchased our one and only new boat from a Chris Craft dealer going
out of business. Got a helluva deal on it and sold it for more than
we purchased it for.

Way to go, Jimh. Was it a Chris Craft Lobsta' Boat?

Chris Craft used to make one hell of a boat, then in the 60's they went
through a series of owners. All trying to see if they could make the
worst boat on the market. They succeeded. They made the 70's - 80's
Bayliner's look like a quality boat.

I think they kept going out of business and someone new would buy the
name and see if they could use the name to sell cheap poorly built
boats. I am not sure if they are still in business or if they have gone
belly up for good, but I haven't seen a Chris Craft dealer in Atlanta
since the 80's.

I agree about the overall quality of that boat (compared to the old
CC's) but our boat never failed us mechanically or structurally and I
sold it for more than I paid for it several years later.

Why thank you John.

210 Scorpion cuddy. We had a great time on that boat. Both my
daughter and son were introduced to boating on that boat.

You mean you actually let them on your boat? While underway?

Was the Scorpion cuddy the Chris Craft Lobsta Style boat?

Actually during the 70's and 80's it was normal to sell a boat for more
than you paid for it. Inflation kept bumping up the cost of new boats
so much it was easy to sell them for more than you paid for them.
Today, not so much. As Harry said when he was selling his Daddy of YoHo
he was a "motivated seller" "make me an offer".

Vic,

I would agree. Most I have been to were farces. Invoice? Like cars, they
don't mean anything any more. I have routinely gotten at least 5% under
invoice for cars now for over 10 years. The dealer makes it in "kickbacks"
and "incentives". MSRP, if you paid anywhere near that they found a sucker.

Oh, if I hear of such a sale, I will go, but my expectations have dwindled
to entertainment value.

could be true. I went to boat dealer going out of business sale and they
forgot to put a reserve price on the boats. At least 1 boat. Guy got it
for about 10% of value. After that they stated there was a reserve value.
