Re: How many errors can you find in this ad?

I don't even know where to begin with this one? Anyone got $6 mil laying around???

http://ocala.craigslist.org/boa/2796851894.html

I'm pretty sure all of Ocala isn't worth $6 mill (horse farms not with standing), but I guess it's worth a shot I think he just put his phone number in the price box. I wish I could laugh at him, but I think I had my first "senior moment" a few days ago with a new fangled piece of technology (iPad anyone?). The sad part is I'm only 34! LOL. I also love the "tug" boat", or whatever that thing is with the 47 outboards on the back. He must order carb kits by the dozen.

EDIT: Okay, how do I paste the ad, intact, into a post?:redface:

Re: What a deal!!!

You highlight the text of the ad and select 'copy' and then 'paste' it into this thread (right click option on your mouse).

Then you link each pic via the 'insert image' icon/tool located in the tool bar of the reply box.

Then the ad is saved for posterity -- right here on iboats.

Advanced effort for posterity: save each ad pic to your 'puter, then upload it to iboats, and long after the ad is gone, it lives on with pics and all.

35 thousand for a 1996 Sea Ray 17 footer with a "Custom Wrap"

http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/boa/2800340570.html

 

[90stingray]

That is definitely different... but not worth 35k for sure... I think he's trying to pay off that lifted diesel Or maybe get enough cash to buy a professional wakeboard boat.

Hey frisco, maybe you oughta wrap your SeaRay. Wait 'til tomorrow to see if you wrap in Cowboy or Texan colors. Then sell yours and buy another. You need another project, don't you.

Yeah, something like that. Or what, maybe its secretly signed by the entire football team! Yeah, that has to be it.

Re: Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist.

I read the ad again, and it says custom leather interior. I have never seen a leather interior in a boat, have you guys?

if I was to ever wrap a boat, i would pick something that would appeal to the masses, not a sports team. You have automatically narrowed your audience.

I am still just floored... 35K... are you serious?

Re: Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist.

WoW! 35k........ Thats a Tad bit optimistic.

Re: Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist.

That's a case of a guy who thinks that if you put 20 grand into a boat you should fully expect to get it back when you sell it.

Someone needs to show that guy some auctions or ads for customized cars, hot rods, etc. People will drop 80,000 bucks on a resto or custom rod upgrades and then sell the whole shebang for 50,000.

This is a lovely 'Marinea' motor for sale. In case you think it's a typo, he does it twice... and the Mariner font doesn't make the greatest distinction between an R and an A.

How do you know things like "long shaft" and not know MarineR? :facepalm: I see what you mean about the font. Comment remains the same.

Re: What a deal!!!

There is a motor listed on cl up here "asking $2500, if it does not sell now I will raise the price in march", now I know the spring is a better time to sell, but if it does not sell perhaps its over priced?!?!
