Re: Post the Worst "For Sale" Picture You've Seen.
On the other hand, the right price, like that Mac 25 above for a grand, is actually enabled by the silly pics sending all the other buyers running away.

Easy enough to see if it's only in need of cheap fixups to get out there and get started, before you hand over the cash.

Of course if you want immaculately maintained turnkey, you're right, if you have that kind of money likely a better deal in the long run.

No thanks.
I am selling my latest boat.
I can no longer do it with this boat either.

Re: Post the Worst "For Sale" Picture You've Seen.
I think the most ironic part of this particularly bad set of photos is that the boat is called "Vision".

Seriously, why the heck would you post a photo like this?

Yep, for sheer pointlessness, these are a contender.

Re: Post the Worst "For Sale" Picture You've Seen.
Is a crack in a rudder post a worry even if there are signs of a previous repair?

Assuming the left end?

WHY do people even include a picture such as this.

It's the 50% rule.

Not sure what it is, ad said 70's boat the big butt mac would have been newer. Also dont see the cutout for the outboard. Price is currently $1 and ebay add said it had $20K in work done recently.

The $20k was clearly not spent on a studio portrait.

Re: Post the Worst "For Sale" Picture You've Seen.
If you can not even make an effort to post at least one picture, then why even list it for sale?
