Default Popyachts?

Sorry to bring this back up, all of my searches show stuff 5-6 years old.

Are they still iffy? They’ve been on me like flies on sh*t after a listing.

Had a friend sell his boat last summer using them. Pretty easy transaction.

A buddy bought his Baja a couple years ago and really disliked the way the transaction went. It was unnecessarily difficult in his opinion.

My experience was as a buyer and I found their listing agents clueless on go-fast boats. Most of the agents were not located anywhere near the physical location of the boat and could not answer any detailed questions beyond whatever the basic ad displayed. Not sure of your location but as a seller I used GSC in Illinois and highly recommend them. Good luck.

Our boat this time was a CC so not a niche market.

However the agent came over. Took about 40 high rez pics and even did a full video walk around outside and in that was placed on YouTube.

I sold my Sonic with Suncoast and Scott was great as well but this one was even easier this go around. Took the Sonic almost 1 year to sell, Took the Everglades less than 1 month.

I’ve dealt with them before and in my experience has been most of their agents are purely telemarketers.

Many know zero about boats in general let alone the very specific toys we like to play with.
They appear to go after the mantra that more is better.

Also very little knowledge and or experience on value versus listing price.
I’ve seen many listings at twice actual value.

In my opinion they get clients to sign thinking they can get those exaggerated prices by advertising with them when in reality that hardly ever works.

Sounds like "Popsrv" on Ebay. Don't know if they are related. They are brokers. They take a zillion pictures and videos. RV's are located all over the place. Oh yea on Ebay they have a -1 feedback rating.

I just listed mine with Pop Yachts and the sales rep was local to me..... just came a couple days ago to take a ton of pics. He was very knowledgeable and nice as well. No complaints yet, lol!
