Catamarans - Current Market Situation

[Dragon Lady]

With less than 4 months till my intended purchase of a cat from overseas I'm still trying to figure out the market prices.

Yes, they say find an honest broker; don't insult vendors with ridiculously low offers and research prices on soldboat.com.

OK I won't go into the honest broker debate, but soldboat.com's credibility has been questioned on other forums with allegations and testimonies that brokers submit higher prices than actual prices on some boats to maintain market values.

I'm also having a problem getting onto soldboat now so I guess those logons that are on bugmenot.com have been cancelled.

With talk of a second recession now being a case when and how bad I'm just wondering what boats are really selling for and how much to offer?

Prices in the Med seem to be dropping but the Caribbean seems stable at the moment, anyone with some first hand information would be appreciated?
