Yippee OGits boat has sold...Now what to buy ?.........

[oldgit]

H,mmm......."Thank you for replying, but I'm sorry I can't come for the inspection or a test run. I'm buying it as surprise and I'm currently out of reach as I work in the military and presently in Maindy barracks. I beseech you to be as honest as possible with me, since the sale has to be this way. Do get back to me with more close-up pics for me to have a better look here and I would like to know if you have a PayPal account so I can make payment after we must have sealed the deal, I will also be responsible for PayPal charges. I will have a pick up agent collect it at your location after payment must have been cleared. I would like you to answer the questions below as well:
Are you the first owner of it?
Why are you selling it?
When have you been using it?
What's your final price?
Hope to read from you soon....


Any suggestions from the forum ?

I assume he signed off "god bless you and your family..."


Just delete emails and continue as if nothing had happened.

I beseech you to quadruple the price, tell him its a 2017 model and offer free delivery to Nigeria. Let negotiations commence!

Back to scanning the notice board in the corner shop suppose....

In response to the "What to buy"? part of your question, surely you'll be going back to something with outdrives?

O Yes............
Have already started to beg borrow and steal suffient dosh (about equal to the national debt) to be able to afford to pay the inevitable repairs.
Just need to find a dozen or so hobbies to keep me occupied all those days/weeks/months boat will be ashore waiting for bits and/or people to come and fix the evil things.
Still... can always just sit on the shore watching all the self satisfied gits with shafts passing by,waving smugly at me and sniggering into their beers. .
What was it....One born every minute

As Maindy barracks is only in Cardiff tell him you are in Wales next week and will pop in to collect the money
