10% to make a offer?

The Joys of brokerage boats... they want 10% of asking price to pass along a offer on a boat... does anyone ever do this?.. On several hundred thousand dollars that a lot of coin just to ask a question... then try to get it back if they say no...

What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Jeff

LOL, maybe 10%, refundable (in writing) for a test drive, but not to make an offer. Who are you dealing with? Find that 39 yet?

I wouldn't pay a dime until the boat was sold, signed, sealed and delivered....

They should be paying YOU 10% for the test drive.

I have no clue but would think they would take 10% of the actual sales price.

Or are you saying your boat is for sale and a broker called you up saying they have a client but want the brokers fee if that person buys it? The buyer is the one using the broker- make them pay it, not you.

Or are you saying you have to pay 10% just to find out- like an antie? If that is the case tell them thanks but no thanks.

they want 10% of my offer to present the offer to owner. in escrow account... I can kinda understand with all the low ball offer they receve..
