Not tried it myself but I think it gives the info you want.

looks very interesting, although the starting bids look tempting. I dare say the reserves might be too high to steal a real bargain, but you never know /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

does anyone know the final selling prices of any of the boats ?. The starting bid prices were obviously too good to be true.

Just checked the site...A lot Of Hype But No Facts or Figures
It It An Auction or Not...???

I think the whole Auction was flawed as you couldn't watch the auction process unless you were registered. On ebay you can watch and if you get tempted you can join in. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

True enough, but I guess they're trying to sit halfway between a regular boat sale via a broker and an auction. The low volumes in the boat market and the variation in the spec of otherwise similar models make it difficult to know the retail or trade values, unlike the car market. I'd be interested to know though how the bidding goes, and if any get above reserve, what they actually go for - for example the Azimut 42.
