Think about it, THE COMMISSION is 499, regardless of ANY SALE.

$499 would be extremely cheap to sell Jassmans boat. I used a similar service from a company called usold.com. Promised money back if not sold in 90 days. Well needless to say I did not get one call and have yet to see any money back. But if it did sell $499 is nothing. Not a whole lot to lose there.

If you pay them up front what incentive do they have to sell your boat? I think they are just going to take your money and run.

NKissau 03-13-2009 11:05 AM

The incentive would be the fact that you will tell everyone you know where to sell and look for used boats, which in turns create a lot of business for them.

It's pretty much BS. They do it in the car business a lot as well.

"If you pay me $500, I have pre-approved buyers ready to buy your car/boat"

I probably got 10 different calls just like that when I was selling a car a couple of years back.

My response was always, "I'll gladly pay you $500, 'WHEN' you sell my car"

I never got a call back from any of them when I countered with that offer? lol :drink:

Search ABL here on OSO. It sounds like a waste of $$.
