Used boat prices gone mad!
 

Just was reading another thread on a used boat and scanned boattrader online to see what people are asking for used boats. These both have to be major misprints:
02 29 Baja Outlaw T496's for 35K?
http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/1/0/85243410.htm

04 38 ZR full canopy with fresh 525's for 52K?

I still would not pay that for a sun bunny !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

The 38' ZR belongs to LightningMike of LightningBay(LightningStrikes), and I'm pretty sure he told me they were converting that boat for pleasure. He is also located in St. Pete, the ad says Falls Chuch, Va.

Sounds like a Trader version of an Ebay rip-off. :rolleyes:

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

That must be the boat Craig left in the driveway when he moved :D I'm sure the guy doesn't know how much it's worth since Craig just left it sitting there. If anyone makes a deal on it, I'll be happy to stop by and take a look at it for you in Falls Church :D :cool:

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

The Baja is not far from me....if you are interested, PM me and I will take a look at her this weekend and see if she is in good condition to save you a possible headache. It is a good price

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

BAJA PRIDE!!!

G go to bed, you have work in the a.m.! :D :D

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

The Donzi one I think is a scam. I saw it on ebay a bunch of times so someone probably took the pics and used it on boattrader...or maybe its a missprint.

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

Yes of course this is a fraudulent ad! I still own the boat and no I would not sell if for $51,000. Might take $60K...just kidding.

The boat is for sale for $160K. But I am most likely converting it to a pleasure/poker run boat.

That's for making me aware of this scam....it has only happened 3 times with this boat already? You would think with all this free advertising I get someone would actually buy it.

:eek: I Was thinking the same thing 1993 32 Sunsation Only 70K The boat is across the street from my home, Nice shape but WAY OVERPRICED.

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

Thats funny, they made 2 yellow boats and they are both for sale now. The other boat is like 40,000 asking price.

That boat couldn't have been 70K new!

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

What's up, Mike. Hope all is well, aside from the scam ads..... :rolleyes:

Drop a line and let me know what runs you'll be at. I'm going to LOTO then Cumberland and for sure Key West.

Greg

Sorry for the hi-jack.

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

I know the moment I seen the first yellow one up for-sale I drove to Beaverton and gave it a once over. I called and left her a message to give her an offer (Yes I was going to over-pay because I love that yellow boat) but before she called me back someone dropped a Scarab in my lap with an offer I could not pass up

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

That Baja has to be $135k ??

If the $35k price is real, then that is a heck of a deal...hell the motors those stock 496's are worth that.

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

Some prices are out of whack due to the seller not putting enough down. I can't get over what some of these people expect to get for a used boat. I know a guy at my marina who has had his boat for sale 2 years now. still asking too much go figure. Oh he put the minimum down

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

i'm looking to buy (used maybe). i'm not willing to bail somebody out for their short sightedness , or stupidity. i can't get over how many people that think their entitled to "get their money back". you used it !!!!

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

A lot like big pick up trucks that are rotting at the dealerships - cost of fuel...

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

SO true

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

I got out lucky :D - I was approached last fall and asked if I wanted to sell my 311, I said only if I got what I paid for it almost 4 years earlier (1989 boat) and after a 40 second test ride and he said OK :eek: no more boat :drink:

Re: Used boat prices gone mad!
 

The Baja is a scam also. Emailed him and here is his reply. Hope nobody falls for this crap. Anyone really have an 02 29 Outlaw for 35K let me know.

Hello there and thank you for your interest,

The 2002 BAJA 29 OUTLAW SST is like new, with no scratches, no marks, no hidden defects.
There are only 66 hours on the boat and each engine. It looks great.It is in excellent condition, I have only used it for a few times and only in fresh water.

Unfortunately, I must sell it right away. This is a one owner boat and it has a clear United States title.
If you are interested in buying it the price is USD $35,000.00.
The boat will be shipped from Poland (EUROPE) and I will handle all shipping arrangements and costs.
It will take no more than 12-14 days for the shipping company to deliver the boat to you.
The transaction will go through Secure Trader for our own protection.
They will hold and insure your money until receipt of the boat in good conditon.
You will have 15 days from the time you receive the boat to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.
If you wish to purchase it please provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal.
After that Secure Trader will contact you with further information and instructions.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm Regards
Daniel Leaf
