making a boat offer
 

I know when I sell a car or snowmobile ect, I ask more than I really want because somebody always talks ya down. When it comes to boats, what is the normal talk down percentage, 10% - 20%? THanks, Buck

I offered close to asking cause:

1. I knew the value was there.
2. I knew others were hot on the trail.
3. Guy wasn't playing games.

We'd need to see what you are looking at to give an honest answer, but 20% below asking is not a bad place to start.

I,m looking at a 1991 31' scarab excell, twin 502, looks like desent shape. NADA is 38,000. high retail and he's asking 42500. its been for sale at least since last fall. I,ve got a feeling it's to high because Key bank has'nt called in 2 days and I know my credit is good enough.
