Must be close to the end of the week. As some of you know I have my boat listed for sale.....I hate selling thing on the internet.....I am so sick of dealing with the stupidity.... here is my list of the things that piss me off..

1. Sponson kickers..... Hey man spend 1/2 hour or more answering questions about the boat sending pics of every little part only to be offered $15 000 when I am asking $26 000usd ......IF you can't afford it or can't make a reasonable offer fuck off. but there is one on S&F listed for $16000.... Yes go bye the pile of crap from 1996 with a patched together 260....good luck with that.


2. The guy that has taken the time to ask questions.... then asks what is your bottom dollar? FUCK OFF its the listed price until you can make an offer!!!!!

3. The guy that askes how many props come with the boat? Did I list any in the add? No....I am a nice guy I will give you one and will negotiate for the rest......

4. The sponson kicker that wants you to pay $15 000 and you to deliver it 15hrs ways for no extra money...

5. The guy that has no Idea about performance boats and only asks about scratches and cracks.... and how fast the boat will run.....Really you don't want to know about the build or the motor and equipment?

6. The message on S&F .... Call me.... Sorry my number is right there in the add...if you are that intrested call it.

LOL....sounds like I'm at Top Gun!

Feel your pain Jay

Haha. Yep, nailed it. I'm pretty sure listing things on Kjiji sometimes puts my blood pressure up haha. Sometimes my replies are not so kind if they get one back. List something for a good price and get 3 people in 1hr telling you they'll take it and you'll still get guys offering you a 1/4 of the price. I swear they do it to piss people off sometimes.

It's our North American mentality, we want everything for nothing. If it's cheaper somewhere else, people will go out of their way to save a buck. When I was in sales I was in a course, the presenter put up average prices of a few TV/home theatre products and average car service prices from different locations all over the world. In Germany and Japan, people pay well above average pricing at higher end shops than anywhere else in the world. Why? That's their status symbol. "I bought the most expensive piece from the most expensive place because I can, bask in my greatness!!" Is the attitude there, while in North America its all about how far you can get a guy to drop his drawers. We've done it to ourselves over the years.... Ps, I fuckin hate tryin to sell shit too Jason, I feel your pain....

Imagine if you had to sell boats for a living....oh...wait...

Eventually this stuff just becomes entertaining. The super low ballers are usually just fucking with you...either ignore or play along. I LOVE kijiji for fun...if you do the "seinfeld" $xx or B.O. or interesting trade you get some wicked awesome offers.

And seriously...try selling Sleds at a dealership....guys drive 400kms to save $250...I will NEVER sell sleds again.

i find if your selling to the US. you have to be willing to drive at least over the boarder or it will never happen... and no one in Ontario wants a 30,000 dollar RR... Not when Garrigans cousin is selling a pretty new Lightning RR with a 15" 280 for 19,000 CND and hes still struggling selling.

I agree with Dok - just have fun with it and wait for your price

Oh I am having fun. Don't get me wrong I know what the boat is worth and it won't go as a fire sale. I also have no problem delivering it any place but not for a fire sale price

I like the " i live 4 hours away can you drop the price" umm no i dident choose where you live lol
