Catamaran Sold Report Q2 2013

[dennisail]

cwj, I agree with some of what you said. But looking at the sold report many boats sold for much less than 10-15% lower. So if they sold for that, wouldn't it be wise to offer lower and look for a counter offer? Boats in the USA are selling for 30% lower, well many monos are anyway. Some people make a living out of what you call time wasting.

I know how much I want for my Hunter, but yes I will advertise it for higher but not ridiculously so. I will not be offended by what the offer is. I will counter it and if they don't accept my lowest figure its no deal. I wont refuse to give a counter offer on the grounds they might be a time waster. That would be monumentally stupid. They may be willing to pay much more, but you wont find out unless you ask, in the same way as the seller might take much less than the asking price but you wont find out without asking either.

Look at what is going on the USA. I smell another GFC style event. We all know what that means for boat prices.
