The dudes at Windsor Marina (not Racecourse) used to. But remember you get nothing like the true value. What boat you selling?

Hi Byron

My Falcon 23 SPC... i appreciate that the trade value is a lot less than retail or similar... but for reasons i dont wish to discuss i need to sell, sooner rather than later..

Or of course - i would happily take a figure above trade by less than retail to a person that wants it!

Cheers for the response - i hop eyou are well?

Cheers,

Craig.

Been there... had to sell a boat quickly in 1980. They paid me £17,250 for it and they sold it on later for £37,500.

Ebay might be a good bet? Boats don't generally get anywhere close to retail values on there - but they still seem to do better than the so-called trade values (which in my experience appear to be little more than 50% of retail).

Certainly worth a try, you can always place a reserve on it.

As a keen e buyer /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif , I love it when people put boaty things on there /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif , complete boats have been sold for next to nothing /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif , if you're going to use e.bay ,first get a price from a broker and set that as a reserve .
