Yep, that's the kind of guy that will never be satisfied. AVOID them at all costs.

I went thru this when I sold my proline, I had one person after another try to tell me about my boat and what was wrong with it. I "educated" a few of them but got tired of it after a while. After that when some one started slamming the boat trying to get me down on my price, I just walked inside the hose and closed the door. It was a 20 ft center console on a tandem trailer that was turn key for $4000. I won't even begin to list the things I had done to it. People would start questioning the status of something and I would tell them I had just replaced, rebuilt, serviced or fixed it. The guy who bought it was a friend of a friend. He asked me my lowest priced, I told him $3500. He drove down from Raleigh, I went ahead and told him up front that if he offered $1 less, he just wasted a trip down here. He took the boat and enjoyed it for two years, sold it to someone else

I was thinking about that boat today Spare, a friend is in the market for a 18-20 center console. That one would have been a perfect match.

I love it when they call and low ball you on the phone without even seeing it. I've added a $100 to the craigslist price before. They say, "Well your ad says it's X price"????, I say, yeah, but i'm gonna charge you more.

Gets you a few akward seconds of silence.

Funny thing is, that boat ended up coming back down here, its up on Lake Moultrie with some fishing guide. I haven't seen it. I hear he put a new four stroke on it.
