When I was shopping I talked money over the phone for the boats that were 5+ hours away. Two of them I had a local friend go look at and the other we were too far apart for a deal. The last one that we couldn't make a del on is still on the market and the price is now $400.00 below my offer. Worked out well, we love the boat we bought.

When I bought mine. The ad was kinda bad. I called the guy on the phone, and got a lot of info. Asked for more pics, and he sent me about 25 more pics, even crawled under the trailer to take bottom pics. I told him I knew it wasn't a brand new boat, but if I was the most picky guy in the world, what am I going to pick apart, then sat and listened to everything he told me. I drove 14hrs hoping it wasn't a waste of time. When I looked the boat It was everything the guy explained, maybe even better then what he said.
From the time I saw the boat online, till it was in my driveway was about 7 days. Honestly I think it didn't sell sooner was because the original add didn't have much info, or pictures. Good for me I guess.

Probably doesn`t think you`re serious . I know I`ll negotiate all day with someone who has come to see what I~m selling.
Not so much with someone throwing out numbers on the interwebs without being serious enough to come see whatever I may be selling. Especially a purchase such as a boat with so many variables.
I call those folks tire kickers.
