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.
That part about the stuff going back to the dealer network to be
sold
at retail is pure fantasy.

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.- Hide quoted text -

Getting almost as unbelievable as Harry!

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.-

Just like car salesmen, they'll make you THINK you're getting them by
the short hairs....while they're laughing all the way to the bank.
Where you been fishing lately, man?

Cherry Lake in the Sierras. Weekends have been to car races. Off shortly
to San Diego for some tuna fishing.- Hide quoted text -

Do you have someone in SD or do you get a charter or party boat?

I go midweek on boats out of Seaforth Landing. Took my other boat down
years ago. To much hassle. Senior rate and is only about $75 for a 3/4 day
to the Coronado Isl includes MX permit and live bait. 1/2 day local is
probably $45 now with fuel surcharge. We have friend in Mission Beach, so
do some surfing and fishing, etc. If the Albacore are in 1 day range I will
take an overnight boat once.
