I have an Avon Rover R3 80 (12' 6", 7-passenger, mfr in Great Britain, hypalon fabric), which has not been used in years, manufacturing date unknown. It has been stored in my garage since 2007. It seems to be in good condition, ie holds air perfectly, but is too big for my purposes. I have cleaned it up and want to price it fairly but for quick sale. How do I arrive at a ballpark asking price to post given that these are not sold very often. I live in upstate CT but presume my market is going to be Long Island Sound or vicinity. Also do I go to iboats or is Craigslist to find a buyer or both? Any help at all will be appreciated.

Hi there...whenever I am planning to sell anything, I check online to see what people are asking/paying for similar items. That gives a good place to start. Also, one easy way to do it would be to put it up for bid, on that site that sells stuff at auction. (not sure if I'm allowed to name it here, but you get the idea...lol)

Please don't start multiple topics in multiple forums about the same subject. I deleted the other (duplicate) topic.

Sales aren't permitted in the forum, so keep this about valuation

Iboats offers paid sale ads for boats here:
http://boats.iboats.com/

I didn't see any other Avon's for sale, but there are 55 other inflatables

Your deleted topic had additional details:

pontoons or tubes are tight, wooden decking, original valves etc all there and working, one small leak in keel. Also one patch and some sealant along main seam shows it has been repaired.
