I've always found it harder to save the coin.

Although I've never interacted with the seller in question I've heard good things from friends that have.

One suggestion I may offer is that if you can get there in person you would be well served.
I bought my boat last year, sight unseen, based on pic's from e-mails, a Team Merc marina's powertrain's/SC's/outdrive's survey, and a marine surveyors survey and seatrial. I MUST SAY it was the worst inner feelings I've ever had having to completely rely on another man's input on a purchase I never laid eyes on.
All in all it worked out good as the surveyor noted something completely nondisclosed by the seller, and assisted me in knocking my purchase price down significantly. But I had already dropped quite a bit of money for the multiple surveys and would have been super pissed and filed suit for his hiding an issue if he didn't drop the price for the value of the repair.
We had a contract in which he stated "no known mechanical and structural issues" and he knew about them even though he didn't disclose it.

Good luck, I hope you get the boat of your dreams at the price your wishing to pay.
Remember, it ain't about the asking price, it's all about the agreed sales price.

See ya,

Thank You every one for the support.

You are looking at it wrong.
They didn't raise the price last week, they lowered the price during the winter slow season. Now that the boat buying season is gearing up, the price is back to the value.

Texas does do this if you purchase from a dealer.
You'll only pay sales tax on the money above and beyond the value of your trade in.
I haven't offered a trade in on the past 5 years of work truck purchases but I'd doubt if they've changed the sales tax laws except for perhaps raising them.

See ya,
Kelly

Yea, I know on a trade. I always buy/sell myself without dealers or brokers.

Thanks for the replies. And thanks Casey for the follow up! I understand people have bad days! I have them as well and completely understand!
