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

I'll pay someone $10 just to read that ad for me and tell me if what he's selling is a good deal. I'm too busy watching paint dry to read his ad in its entirety. :facepalm:


Thanks!

No problem.

Seller sounds COMPLETELY forth coming and honest about the boat & motor's condition & value, so OF COURSE it's a good deal.:facepalm:

Your welcome.

Well, it was such an outstanding performing boat it actually became a 2 year newer model boat at some point...:

"1967 glastron 17 footer all fiberglass boat, great shape clear ohio title, comes with lots of extra, fish finder, trailer, etc, and a 80 horse mercury engine outboard, runs at 40 mph top end, awesome running motor, 2 gas tanks, 2 cycle, clear ohio title. 1969 Clasic Glastron all fiberglass boat."

But you missed out, the ad is flagged for removal so it must have sold, sorry

Does anyone's significant other hate them this much :

[h=3]GREAT XMAS GIFT[/h]

1975 seasprite boat. 50 hp johnson outboard. Trailer included.Titles for boat and trailer. New carpet,battery,ignition switch. Many extras included also.For more info email ,text etc.Pete 724-797-XXXX

Is it just me, or does everybody cringe when the sellers list 'new carpet'..............

Not cringe so much as jump up and down with more purpose. Especially when the bow on down to the keel looks like fresh patching and more needed.

A guy could buy her a new shop vac to keep those new carpets clean just to make it a done deal.

Some Moron in Colorado 1988 Hallett 21' Vector - $10 (Broomfield area)
This is a great boat. The motor froze and I am not in the position to fix it. The problem could be as a little as busted head gaskets. The boat looks just like the one pictured.Can forward more pics later.
$10,000 firm. (New vectors are $60K!)

Ads like that make me want to call and ask "$10,000 firm, but how much if it's worn out and has a blown motor?"

They don't make the Vector anymore. I'd pay 10K for a decent 210S with a blown motor, but the Vector is not a 210S. . . . Doh :facepalm:

Looks like a storage yard.

Not sure that it obviously has issues. What are the obvious issues?

So let me see if I follow. Someone is (allegedly) trying to sell an item from a junk yard without ever actually taking possession?

I did see a guy selling stuff on ebay that you could buy at Costco. He actually took pictures of the stuff in the Costco racks and placed them in his auction.

I don't think that is happening here though.

He doesn't say TLC needed. But the pictures sure do!

This guy is at least offering the right price. If I needed an OMC outdrive or a trailer it would be worth the salvage fee to get rid of the rest of that mess. Selling the outdrive and trailer would probably turn a profit.

EDIT: Never mind, just saw that the trailer is not included.
