Reel, that's exactly what I meant when I said quote "Anywhere in between is up to the buyer to make the call about if he thinks the price was fair or not." unquote. When a person buys an item for $5.00 or $5oo,ooo, then that is what the item was actually worth, no matter what opinion someone else may have about the price.

I have to make a comment though. There have been many other posts where members have made comments about how they felt about the price of a boat that was listed for sale. None of them generated so much as a ripple from other menbers. This post though, no matter how I've tried to explain MY position, and why I felt that TO ME the boat was pricey, has generated a constant and sometimes sarcastic attack by bgreene against me and anyone else that agreed with me. I'd like to know why. Normally I'd do this with a PM, but since the attacks were many and in public I'll take the same route. Maybe I'm being thin-skinned, but truthfully this has left a real bad taste in my mouth.

Difference of opinion:
I think posting on a public forum that another guys listing is pricey can only hurt his chance to sell his boat. It's like "warning sellers to beware"..... and his price isn't even high to begin with.

You came back to me saying I should " stop the rhetoric" however that applies I don't know.

Lastly, I believe pounding down on another guys listing as I believe you also did on the Ohio V for sale just serves to diminish perceived value of these boats.

That's all. Long live the V's ! Priceless ! Collector's items ! Discontinued model ! Do I hear $ 50,000......that's $ 50,000 for a rare V in excellent condition........$ 55,000 from the gentleman in the back !!!!
