Selling a Used Boat
Posted on 2/26/24 at 2:22 pm

Anyone notice a recent uptick in the bs of doing so? Haven’t got a serious hit on one I posted on market place and La sportsman recently. Although, I’ve already got hit with the common “I can send a check” ones and the newest “you pay $70 for a boat fax and I’ll refund you when I buy it”. I never even heard of that! Maybe the market is flooded at the moment or the scammers are in full force. Who knows, but the boat fax kinda made me chuckle over an aluminum fishing boat. I know, I know, dear fb lol.

I sold a hunting truck recently. Listed it on Craigslist Houston and wife listed it in Facebook Marketplace.
Almost immediately I was hit with scammers on Craigslist. "I want to buy it", etc...etc... all bullshite scams. Pulled the listin and stated truck would be sold for cash and we would meet at that person't bank to handle the transaction and title changeover during normal banking hours M-F or Sat AM. All scam contacts immediately stopped.
Honestly... who buy a boat, truck, motorcycle, etc... without seeing it and hearing it run?

Craigslist is unusable now because of scammers. Marketplace doesn't seem as bad but only because I only list things locally or buy things locally.
Id almost bet the used boat market either is or will be inundated about mid-july this year. All them folks that became boat owners in 2020 because they are bored are probably about ready to get rid of that expensive leaf cathcer.

It’s already fairly saturated, but the pricing hasn’t changed much yet for some reason. Hopefully it starts crashing soon bc I sold high and now I want to buy low

Maybe an antique truck, but in this situation dead give away for scammers.

I have a jetski for sale and look at the persons profile picture before I decide if I am going to respond or not.

I have 2 jet skis I’m considering selling? How are you going about listing/selling your jet ski?

FB marketplace and local jetski groups on FB for now. Just listed it a week ago.
I don't really have to sell it so I'm not paying for a service. If it doesn't sell by the end of the summer maybe I will list it on one of the sites you have to pay for.

I like to do some trading with boats. It’s funny if you list something on marketplace “for trade” you will be inundated with people sending “price?” Or “how much cash money today?”
But if you list a price you either get zero hits or just low ballers. “What’s the lowest you will take ?”

You said a mouthful. I made one amazing trade about a year ago and feel like I got the low ball/scam karma since ??
