Default Opinion- relist now or springtime?

Some of you have more experience with this than others.... anything to be gained by relisting my 30 in the classifieds now or best just to Relist Feb1 and have a fresh "days on the market" approach??

Seems like most peeps shopping on OSO come to the elim forum and ask around anyway, so I don't feel I'd have a lot of missed opportunity.

If I were serious about selling I would keep it on the market.....exposure is exposure. These are high priced toys and it would be a shame to miss that one guy looking. Not as if there is a great time spend 100k on an eliminator. IMO

I would keep it listed. My buyer for the 25 called me in January and picked it up first part of Feb. Its a gamble either way,but having it out there lets the new shoppers see it. Have you tried Boat trader.com or any avenues aside from OSO? I sold mine via OSO, but I had it listed on other sites and recieved many inquiry's from all of them. The bigger the pool of people ya have looking the more likely one will be a buyer.

Agreed - keep it listed.

I still get the occassional call or email about my 28 and i'll keep it here until it gets a new home.

I would think some people come to the market this time of year to find "a deal". When I was shopping for mine, I kept an eye out year round. I would also make some changes to your ads every couple of weeks. I had saved searches and when changes were made the ad would pop up again. Good Luck.

Default Keep It Listed...

Spread the ads around too...exposure, exposure, exposure. Be realistic on price to get it moved. My last two boats were both sold during the fall/winter season.

We are quite busy at the shop with new orders, with several serious buyers out there in used as well. People shopping for the family Christmas present...

Thanks guys, I renewed it tonight, will polish it some too, also have some chatter going on the hotboat forums. A serious buyer will get a deal he's happy with on this boat- it's been a great boat for me... just a change in finances.
