The asking price was set with a very experienced broker after reviewing the entire market and the price is right in the middle of the pack of similar boats selling. Long story short, I believe that the virus has also brought out a bunch or bottom feeders and tire kickers looking to find folks who “have” to sell their boats for economic reasons. Fortunately, that is not my case. Needless to say, I instructed my broker to tell the prospect that we would not respond to his offer. For those selling, watch out for the buzzards.

    Sounds like it to me or some sort of wholesaler. Offered to up the offer by some unstated amount and said he would buy without a survey. I advised that I am not the least bit concerned about a survey and unless he comes up with a realistic offer, we need not converse further. Since I know he will need to get a survey to insure the boat, the whole thing sounds very sketchy to me.

    Re: Prices

    An architect once asked me if I could adjust my bid because I was some trivial amount higher than some other bid. I raised my price and thanked them for giving me the opportunity to revise my bid, that I had overlooked a few things.

    I didn't get that one, but I noted that within a few weeks there was a stop work order slapped on the job that lasted for months.

    Then again I’ve bought quite a few things that I put a low ball cash no contingency offer on and the owner came back and accepted. You just never know what people’s motivations are.

    The last few months saw me, and a few hundred million others, at home playing with our toys. So I cleaned up 20 years of workshop, garage and part of the basement. Upgraded a bunch of stuff. Sold a TON of stuff on FB market place. I don't need 4 chainsaws..... got a new tractor and sold the old one, went from 7 trailers (yes seven) to four, etc. etc. I priced everything to be gone in 24 hours. My motivation was to get it "outahere"..... so I probably averaged $.60 on the dollar. But my object was to make room with a minimum of time invested.

    Lots of happy buyers.
