Love it when they post pics, but it has a cover over it.

I've seriously backed off the CL scene in the last year or so, seriously just too busy, but really too busy for all the BS that comes with dealing with people. It really goes both ways, buyers are just as full of it as sellers. There are some good deals on good boats out there, you just have to keep a close eye out and know what you're looking for.

A few of my pet peeves,

-Price firm means that, don't be a jerk and low ball anyway, I've just hung up on people a couple times for that.

-Everyone is different, but for me a considerate amount to negotiate is 85-90 percent of asking price. If my asking price is 5000 don't insult me and embarrass yourself with trying to be a badass offering 3100. And really that's not THAT BAD of a lowball offer compared to some delusional ones I've gotten. Some people really think you should just GIVE something to them.

-If you're serious you'll call, I got to where I wouldn't text anybody because you'd have a 30 message text conversation with someone answering questions that where answered in the ad and then they wouldn't be serious anyway.

-Project means PROJECT, don't show up and waste my time expecting something turn key. Love when I'm selling a functional galvanized boat trailer capable of hauling a 20 foot boat for 200 dollars and some guy wants to ***** about the tires having some dry rot.

-If you don't have any money don't waste my time, I've had people wanting me to take an ad down until they could get there refund check.

-AS IS WHERE IS, CASH ONLY, ALL SALES FINAL, NO WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED
