Blatant mistakes

[byron]

I have just been browsing boatsandoutboards and am amazed at the mistakes some people make.

For region the put 'ALL' DUH! that is where they put where the boat is laying.

Then price, people don't put a price. DUH! and double DUH!

Photographs, some bozos don't put a photo, they may as well not have advertised. Even if it's a commonly known boat a photo paints a thousand words. Triple DUH! if its an unknown.

Asking price! I can't believe people are serious about some of the prices asked.

I still chuckle when I see the bozo in Bray Marina trying to flog his Freeman 32 MkI for £35K, Yeah man - Dream on!

even worse on ebay.
you usually get " boat for sale. 99p reserve not met" and still no photo.

I like the American approach to advertising on the web, plenty of photo's usually on a sunny day, and loads of blurb.

It's selling a dream, as well as a boat.

Have to agree, looking for a new boat at the moment, Boatsheds approach-loads of photos and good information is by far the best.

No interest in the company, just like the layout.

I use that site for day dreaming.

Also the list including all the SOLD boats has been useful for getting the details other adverts don't contain!
