Can't sell this boat!

[greengrass]

We have been trying to sell our fishing/duck boat for months now. We had one bite and now nothing... I don't know where the boat lovers are but they surely do not want our boat!

greengrass, I have the same problem, it must be the economy. I have come to realize it will sell for very cheap. So I decided to keep the the boat. Make the most of it and enjoy, some people have no boat and cannot afford one. I cannot afford to give it away.

People just aren't buying things like boats right now in my area. They're doing good to keep food on the table and gas in their vehicles. It's just not the right time to sell them, but maybe it'll get better.

I think it's just the economy, don't give up hope yet. Where are you advertising the boat? Have you tried Craigslist? It's free and we have had a lot of luck selling items on there.

It is going to take work to sell it. Clean it out of any personal items. If it does not go with the boat when you sell, remove it. Clean it as best as you can. Polish, wax, the hull. Hit up craigslist and any boat trader magazines in your area. Even then I think it is just plain old luck.

Maybe you should ask your 'boat friends' what they think of the boat and why it is not getting sold. Maybe there are simply not enough buyers looking for a boat - a lot of us are struggling at the moment.

Could be the price you are asking too. You may think about a sell/trade option. This may bring in someone who can pay you part of it and trade you something you want with the other part. Welcome to Barter, the new old new economy!

We've listed it on craigslist a few times. I was thinking about the Trading Post but I don't know how much it is and how much luck we'd have. Trading is a good idea as the reason we want to sell is to finish two upstairs rooms.
