If I knew anyone looking for a used boat I'd sell them mine, not tell them to go somewhere else! Either that or send them to the OSO classifieds! :D

Besides, ablboats doesn't make money by selling boats, they make money by getting listings.

Funny, he offered to list my boat for $300. Said no and dropped down to $200. Told me he had a buyer. Offered a finders fee if in fact he had a buyer. He said no. He called back a week later and did not remember he already talked to me. Had a buyer again. This time he got pissed when I started to play with him.

Yep, that's how they do it. It's as close to a scam as can be legally, since it's tough to prove they didn't have a buyer, or weren't "trying" to sell your vehicle.

They figure if they call 20 people a day, at $500 each, if 5 of them agree they've had a good day. :rolleyes:
