You know what burns my ass?
 
When you send inquiries to listings in the classifieds with limitied or no response. I get a " call me " response and when I do call,I get no answer and no mail box set up. E-mail again with questions, same reply, " Call me." Why cant you answer my questions via e-mail ? You obviousy get those. I call constantly and get no answer . If you want to sell a boat shouldnt you work harder than the guy interested. I am not chasing a seller. Ok I feel better.

Give us some names? We'll see how long they last up here...

smoker62 01-27-2011 09:37 PM

Just venting. I dont want to flame anyone just yet. When I am looking to sell a boat I try to make it easy on the potential buyer.

Communicate any way they want to make a sale. Like I said, too many boats on the market to deal with someones arrogance or what ever the case may be.

If I find the right answers I am buying a boat. Simple as that. You selling or not ? Dont waste my time , I wont waste yours.

Smoker, that Krypto's the real deal. If desired you can paint whatever you want on the boat. We can sea trial it in RI, just a short ride away where there is no ice ect....Or if you want a nice race boat I'd call you back everyday!!:D

You guys are funny. You want to take a very nicely set up Walleye rig on trade? Fish catching machine with 6000k in fishfinding electronics, side imaging , down imaging, trolling motors etc. Comes with everything but the fish sticks. Tillers are the trolling way on the rivers. :party-smiley-004:

True, but not much different than telling a guy" You can kiss my ass" Hmm we all do that frequently ,no??

I need to see a damn Krypto in person. How does it compare to a 28 Pantera. Seems ike the Krypto is more of an inland lake boat not a big water boat. But , I have never seen one so I have no clue. They just look shallow but I am talking out of my " may or may not " be hemorroidial ass, educate me on the pros ,cons.

.

Do some research on them. They're far from an inland boat. Currently, there's five of them being raced. The boat is meant to ride on top of the water rather than through it. I can tell you I've had this boat out in 4's and still not one stress crack. Boat is fast as hell. Pantera's are slower and stand ups. Great boats, just different uses. Kryptonites are race boats, Panteras are race boats and pleasure boats.

...on to the next ad...

US1 Fountain 01-28-2011 09:14 PM

A lot of sellers prefer to talk vs email. Saves alot of going back and forth and all answers can be addressed in minutes. Serious lookers will call. Prop kickers won't.

But a serious seller will make himself available. If not, then as GLH said "NEXT!"

Not to say I wont call, but I much prefer to have everything in writing. And to say buyers who dont call aren't serious is horse chit!




BTW, I wanted to buy a 36 Spectre a few weeks ago. I sent emails, nothing. I called both numbers listed after I heard nothing and failed to get in touch with someone, although I did leave messages. I told the seller I was going to be in the area the next day. Keep in mind the boat has been listed for a long time and the ad makes it sound like the seller is motivated to move the boat. Well the guy finally emails me and says the 'boat has the cover on and it has snow on it', nothing more. I reply back asking if we can sweep the snow off it and take a peek at it, I've never heard back from the guy and the boat is still listed here FS. Wanted to buy another boat and the A-hole couldn't even be bothered to dig up a VIN #. :lolhit:

It doesn't take long to figure out who to walk away from!

I want to see adds with the price, power, hours on power, when and by who may of rebuilt it, same with drives, what kind of trailer if any, and as much more as they know about it. The way I look at it if you wont take the time to write it down you wont do the rest of your job either and I wont bother calling.

I am no computer genius but what would it take for OSO to allow us to post video of a boat in the classsifieds section not just pictures but be able to listen to the boat being started up, run, video of the GPS, etc??
Just a thought besides posting a video in the video section and leaving the link on the classified page.

I've sold my boat & car to so many people...from "and oil rig for their wife as a gift" or "I'm in the army and buying it for my dad" what is your paypal..... whats your best price.....


Drives me nuts!!

And just for the fun of it, I replied with my price trippled and said the motor was cracked and blown and the transom was cracked.

the reply...

"sounds good, I'll take it, what is your paypal?"

smoker62 01-30-2011 10:02 PM

Yeah, I have gotten that on Craigslist. They send an e-mail saying they would like to purchase my "wondeful item". I dont reply because they must be fishing for e-mail addys.

Good Sellers
 
Should respond on the first phone call or within an hour max. With all the systems available today sellers should return all phone calls. Why have cell phones?
