I know how you feel MJ, everyone thinks they can get a better deal after watching pickers, or pawn stars or any of those show, they feel like they have to beat you down regardless of what its worth. When I was selling my proline, I had people try to tell me it needed this and it needed that, i told them i had just replaced this and that and it was brand new, or I had just serviced it. I had people tell me they needed it checked out by a professional, i told them i was a professional and i would be happy to check it out while they watched every thing i did, when they said they wanted their guy to do it, i asked who their guy was, odds were they were friends of mine. I told them to call their guy on the phone and tell them who was selling it, they would tell them not to worry about having it checked out as i was stand up guy. They would call while i was standing there. I walked in the house and left two guys standing in the yard after I got tired of hearing their BS. All it came down to, they wanted to give me nothing for my boat, the guy who ended up buying it was a good friend of one of my best friends, my friend called me and asked what my bottom dollar was, i told him, his friend called me to ask about the boat, I told him what he needed to know, I told him if he had any intention of offering any lower than I told him, not to waste my time, the price was firm, if he wasted my time, the price went up, he bought the boat for what i told him and has been pleased with it. I haven't heard a complaint from him about it, I still sold it too cheap, wish I would have kept it, but oh well, its gone and now I've got to get back to work on the V
