Exactly. A serious buyer for that boat will call regardless of too much or too little info. Otherwise they aren't seriously looking, just browsing.

I don't get that, do they honestly think they have a better shot of selling it when someone calls for the price?

much of the ad description is monotonous rambling of crap people can figure out by looking at the pictures: I.e mention of glove box and it's location, etc. oh Lordy...

Even if I could afford it, I wouldn't buy it just because of that ad.

Good thing the add isn't pay by the word.......he would have had to double the price just to cover the add.

Went and actually read a bit of it.

It reminds me of a used car dealer ad. It's a bunch of crap copied and pasted from online reviews and brochures.

But, as of this posting...
905 views of this thread
710 views of the ad (since added YESTERDAY)
Brilliant marketing plan!

If there is no price listed in an ad, I very seldom will call to find out even if I am a serious buyer. If you are serious about selling something, PUT A PRICE ON WHAT YOUR SELLING!

Funny part is the seller is probably saying to himself:

"905 views of my boat!! I should put some more info in the ad and it will sell in no time !!"

Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure that boat sold at National Liquidators previously for under $100k.
