ASG's boat had the incident in its history that Cashbar mentioned which I had not mentioned in my earlier post since I didn't want to bash the boat. I also didn't want to start a war with posting links to every overpriced boat in the OSO classifed since that is a personal attack on the boat/ owner so I left it too generalizations. Several boats in the OSO classified have been listed for quite a while with no sales on the horizon with winter setting in. Blume (oso advertiser) is selling boats and a few posts have popped up that he is selling boats with lower asking prices than private owners are asking for similar boats, a 04 42 Lightning from Texas comes to mind. Blume is putting real prices with the boats and then they sell. Berns29 did this as well with his boat.
Remember people come on here and read and believe all that they read so lets remain experts in the fields we are experts in. BTW, salesman are always selling boats, the economy is always great, and in fact sometimes the salesman is the private boat owners worst enemy. The saleman always wants the seller to think that the boat is overpriced so they will drop their pants and bring them the easy give away deal. Boats of the same year and equipment as ASG's sold for 225-240 this past summer. They had paint and no history.

That is the resale value ( Re: Blumes realistic prices)! Real prices not inflated, unrealistic, out of the book, I think my boat is worth more price. Fair pricing just pisses off the jokesters that think their chit is worth more. Don't blame the people that are fair, blame yourself for not being a better negotiater when you bought your boat.

389K with Blume or 425K at Lipship- same boat.
I don't know Blume but his prices are lower in general than others and he tends to print SOLD thanks OSO on a lot of his listings.

All the stainless is getting repolished but here are a couple pics from a while back (during mock up #2) when I was working with Randy at Stellings

As mentioned before there are always cases of people selling below market value for various reasons or boats that are turds and in poor condition that shouldn't reflect the actual market value.
