Yes MN but no not the permanent sticker. Full size rear license plate that needs yearly tabs.

You can only get the permanent sticker license for smaller trailers, under 3000 capacity or something like that.

Wonder what you do if you decide to buy it. Chip it out of the ice?

You would have to take a blow torch with you just to see it. Now IF you wanted to buy it, that would take a small jet engine a while to get it out! SMH!

Houseboat? Really?

Houseboat for sale or trade, pricejust lowered obo, negotiable

Houseboat for sale or trade, pricejust lowered obo, negotiable - $2500

1984 Regal Ambassador 255XL Cabin cruiser 25.5ft , 350 Mercruiser alpha 1,

Guy's been trying to sell this POS pocket cruiser as a houseboat fopr months--down to $1,100. Pretty close to being homeless IMO. most guys want their boats to be chick magnets; I doubt this one works well for that.

here's the rest:
LIVE ABLE FULLY FURNISHED. Comes with microwave, coffee machine, flat screen tv, dvd player, electric fire place, electric blanket, lamp, brand new battery charger/maintainer already at a marina in downtown Hampton, the slip for live aboard, electricity, water, and access to the onshore shower house and bathrooms is 252 dollars a month or 200 a month for the slip alone. Im only selling because my job is taking me out of state. I will trade for an enclosed trailor, or a camper, or landscape equipment or anything you have I might need make me an offer. This is a great place to live if you want to save money. i will trade for a truck or work van . Boat needs outdrive it will have to be towed out the water to be fixed

Even with the electric fire place, electric blanket, and coffee pot I bet he froze on the water in VA this winter.

"ELTO outboard motor NO. J48247 around a 1928.
It is a basket case, but all the parts are there.
See pictures. will not sell parts... all or nothing...
first $295 obo."

I have to admit I don't know the real value of this collection of parts, but this is not a deal I'd make.

Correct. 3K or less. Didn't realize your boat was a big boy toy ;)

Outboard Motor Flusher - NEW

Outboard Motor Flusher - NEW

This guy keeps putting this up, with 2 photos of it lying in his driveway. every time he does, two or three others post ads for where you can buy them new in a store cheaper (like $8).

But if that isn't stupid enough, why would anyone bother to sell anything on CL at that price point? Even if it was free it wouldn't be worth my time to contact him, wait for a reply, arrange a meeting, find his house, drive over and drive back. it's not like he has other stuff, too, in other ads.

I suspect it's either a prank, or a spy or vice signal like they used to do in the classifieds.

I guess if I looked around in other stuff for sale on CL I'd see this sort of thing.

I was at an auction a couple of years ago. The runner pulled two of those out of the garage and asked me what they were. I told him, auctioneer sold them together - got $44 for the pair.
