I have questions for those that have listed thier boat on EBAY first question: The listing cost states $0.00 insertion fee but if it sells or the bid goes higher than the reserve it will cost you $125.00 now that is where my question comes in: If I have a buyer that falls thru do I have to pay the $125.00 any help would be great. I know that some of you have sold and posted boats so thanks for the elp in advance.

be careful dude.. sunsations are NOT selling worth a CRAP on ebay right now.. I just sold mine a few minutes ago and didnt make a dime on it. I bet I answered 60 phone calls about it in the last few days too..

...and no, you dont have to pay that if it falls through. You can file a claim with ebay and they take it off your statement.

I was thinking about trying to sell mine on there. Frakie at Pier57 said they don't really sell boats on there, but they get alot of leads. I sold my Jeep on there last fall, worked out great. They buyer showed up cash in hand.

It was bad aze but I did not think people would take me very serious but i'll try. Just craigslist is kind of alet down when person after person tells you oh yeah man after I get my car and house out of repo and my divorce is over i'll buy it:rofl:

That is where I bought mine from. I just worked it out on the side with the guy. Sent him a deposit and then went to see the boat, and take care of the rest. Just basically used Ebay as a free listing sight.

i had mine sold on cl 3 times and all three they couldn't come up with the cash and we're only talkin about $10k. i'm on my second go round on ebay. it starts at $9500 with no reserve. 87 scarab. its brutal tryin to sell a boat right now. i can't imagine tryin to sell one for big bucks, maybe you would have a better buyer. hey Davidmnc place a bid on mine would ya.
