35 on Ebay
 

Wondered if any one knew of this boat. I somewhat beleive it to be a scam. I received an email after the auction ended and they offered to sell it to me for under 25,000 because the person backed out of the deal. The boat is suppose to be from West Virginia. If it is not a scam, someone got one hell of a deal.

I can't say for sure but I would suspect a scam. Here is a link to the same boat in a listing from Raymond's Boats at Lake of the Ozarks.

http://raymondsboats.com/8242.htm

I went to Raymond's last Saturday and that was one of the boats I wanted to see but the dealer said the owner had pulled it out. I guess the Ebay listing could have been posted by the owner but the pictures are exactly the same as the Raymond's listing and they had it listed at $63,500 without the trailer.

I find it hard to believe the owner would go all the way down to $36,400 let alone $25,000.

Like I said, can't say for sure but certainly looks strange.

Here is the email I received after the auction ended.
KRUM

Hello there,

Thank you for your interest in my boat. I want you to know that I closed my auction earlier because someone offered me the buy it now price, but he changed his mind and told me that he didn't have all the money available and I cannot accept financing. The price I want to obtain for the boat is $22,900 US (this price includes shipping and insurance charges). I am located in Fairmont, WV. I can deliver it personally with my truck within US and Canada.

The boat is like new, completely working, perfect running condition, with no hidden damages or accidents. It is a 1998 model and it has 450 hours on the motor. It is a US model with US specs and passed the US test emissions. It will be as if purchased locally. It will come with all the necessary papers (bill of sale, warranty documents, user's manual, insurance etc). I am selling it because i have moved this year with my family in West Virginia and here i can't use it.

I want the transaction to be made through eBay Business Equipment Purchase Protection Program. Let me explain how it works: We will use eBay as third party. First you will pay the payment to eBay and once eBay receives your payment, i will start the shipping. Please note that eBay will hold your payment of $22,900 until you will confirm that you received the boat and you are happy with it. After you make a decision, eBay will send the payment to me or they will fully refund you. If you are not 100% content with the boat you will be able to ship it back on my expense to get your money back. I am sure this will not happen. I will give you 3 days for inspection.

If you agree with these terms, please send me your address for delivery so i can calculate my shipping costs.


...waiting for your fast answer, Brian Gill.

Scam

Yea right, who in this country writes things like this in a ad:

$22,900 US
No kidding, really,,,,,,,,,,, I thought it would be in yen. LOL

(this price includes shipping and insurance charges).

What insurance charges?

It is a US model with US specs and passed the US test emissions. It will be as if purchased locally.
When is the last time you had a 1998 boat emission tested?

It will come with all the necessary papers (bill of sale, warranty documents, user's manual, insurance etc).
Warranty on a 98?


Yea I would send the check right NOW!!!!!:bsflag::bsflag:



ROTFLOL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I think I'm actually gonna pursue this one. I sent back an email stating that if he shows up at my door, with the boat, I'll give him double what he's asking. JEEEZ, ya think he's gonna show???

Scam, if he's goin to deliver it personally then why go through some bougs ebay payment? Plus who the heck states US that many times. What a ratard!

scam , when I bought mine some one did the same thing with the pics . I emailed him and he responded from somewhere in jersey , but he said he and the boat was in las vegas . he would not give me a phone number to contact him
