Has anyone hear of classyboats? #855-578-1536 it's a company that wants to list my boat on ebay and other sites, they also handle the financing and shipping if needed....Anyone ever use this company or ones like it? Scam?

I have used one just like it that offered an ebay listing and was also an agent for shipping and financing. I used them once for a month long ad. I thought it was a ripoff. Used another service that solicited me........ablboats. That was a good value cause the ad ran til it sold on like 50 different site including boattrader. The running ad on boattrader alone was worth it IMO, but never got any hits.
The best hits........ actually the only good hits came from powerboatlistings, offshoreonly, and craigslist. Great thing about OSO is you can actually see how many views your getting.......so chances are if your getting 100+ hits a week its probably priced right. Last two boats I had were sold on OSO.

i have used these pay for ads sites etc, and have always sold everything on craigslist and usually within a week or two. Only thing I cant sell is my sleds right now, but with the crappy winter last year and being summer that is why.
Personally unless you dont have the time and dont want to field emails and phone calls, an hours worth of work you can have your stuff listed on multiple sites. Selling a boat unless you really have something thats really expensive or in an exclusive class is best of selling through local channels or something for free.
