Customer of mine got a letter from them,said they had photos of his boat in the 3-31-07 Sarasota Poker Run. If he sends a cc#,they will send pics for his approval.He asked my advice,as he is unfamilar with the company.Comments?

I don't know that company, but no way am I sending a cc# BEFORE seeing the pics. Thats why pics come with PROOF stamped on them, so you will still have to buy them if interested.

AGREED Cant they email pics with a big copywrite symbol thru them so the buyer at least gets to see where pic was taken or even if the boat is completely in the pic.

Even small thumbnails would help someone decide.

Never money in advance

Magic I used them,I had heard a few bad things about them so I called them first.The CC is not run intill 10 days after you receive them.They sent me three I purchased one and sent the other two back UPS signature required the following day.
I did not have any problem with them the CC is just a deposit and it is a nice picture

i've used them twice, really nice pics kind of expensive but nice. mike

I've heard to many bad things and not enough good things to use them. Send me something I can verify and then I'll pay for it.

......I had them do a fly by once but never recieved anything from them.

I have used them, they were good pix, but service was slow to say the best. You should be able to see proofs on their website.

CLIMAX 03-07-2008 09:40 PM

They shoot here on lake Travis, Have seen some good pics a little high though

kjm5125 03-07-2008 09:43 PM

I have three pictures of my boat from Boat Pix and all are high quality pictures. I would check out their website: www.boatpix.com

I have 3 different sets, no problems. You can negotiate the price. Make them a lowball offer, something to them is better than nothing.

ACTIVESHACK 03-07-2008 10:53 PM

They flew over me one day last summer and I got on there website and gave them my address and CC. They sent 6 pics and I kept 4 and sent 2 back. They billed me for the 4 that I kept. I had no problems with them at all and the pics were awsome.

Get ready to blow some coin. They are expensive. You send back what you dont want.

I do know some folks who have circumvented.

I have used them twice over the years. Good people to deal with. I had no problems whatsoever. They are expensive but to consider the cost of aerial photos from a chopper of your boat-- it's worth it. I have heard some negativity from some on here(usually from people who can't afford them). They take great photos and I have never had a problem with them. I usually purchase the larger ones. Very convenient way to get great profiles of your boat.

Stay away. A lot of people on this board have had trouble with them.

they are a legit company, but they are extremely expensive. they want the deed to your house, your car, and you first born child. then and only then will then send you your picture. i would pass on them as i did numerous times in the past. total rip-off.

Search out a thread started by lubejobs. It's titled Boatpix.com_ Scammers lets put an end to it. It's another thread that I just came across in the new post section that caught my eye. He doesn't seem happy with them.
