I see that the bid is up to 7k.....hope it sells for you FERM.

And I am not "watching" it, just watching.

Well I had 24 people watching it until it hit $7K, now I'm down to 22. You sure you don't want this thing RM, I'll even throw them cuddy cushions in for free. Speaking of, I'm gonna get a picture of em sooner than later hopefully for ya.

I'm sure I do want it, and I'm just as sure I can't afford it.

The other night at dinner we were all talking about our upcomming Disney trip and the cost and such and I brought up that instead of going to Disney, I could buy another boat.

I put it up for a vote....I lost 3 neighs, 2 yea's (my boy voted for the boat).

SO CLOSE, BUT SO FAR AWAY. Had somebody who wants my boat call this morning from GEORGIA, but he wants to pay me with a personal check. I told him verifiable funds only for payment as I don't want to get a bogus cashiers check or something like I got in the past. He took offense to he fact that I wouldn't take a persoanl check, so I don't think I'll hear from him again. I don't see why it's a problem that I want funds that are guaranteed tobe good, I was even willing to meet him half way for fuel costs. Oh well, hopefully it will get better before auction end.

If he can write a check, there's no reason he couldn't hand you cash.....you are right for wanting real money......people ought to understand in this day and time, with all the scammers out there.

I was willing to basically bend over backwards for the guy, but wouldn't take it there for him. I was willing to go and take my time and talk to my bank and set-up a way to verify his check as well since BANK OF AMERICA is open SATURDAY mornings. He fired back with the "well how do I know your boat is what you say it is, I may get it home and have it be junk". I reminded him that I told him I wanted him to run the boat and to be satisfied before any money changed hands. I also told him that if he used the buy it now on Ebay and he didn't like the boat when he got here I would gladly let him out of the bid for my listing fees. I can't be any fairer than that, but some people want you to run backwards through a cornfield NAKED before there happy.
