Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
- We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
- Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
- The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
- Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
- For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
- Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
- Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
- Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
- Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
- Asking price
- Location
- A Basic Description
- Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
- Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
- Pertinent maintenance and condition information
- Exterior picture or pictures
- Interior picture or pictures (boats)
-
Avoid Scams.
Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.
Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.
Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.
Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
- Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
- No posts or very few forum posts.
- Recent forum membership
- Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
- Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
- Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
- Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

IMO I think you will either not get any calls or lots of calls that could be avoided if you had put at least some basic information, price and a few pictures. Good luck with selling a boat that quick. Doesn't work well around my neck of the woods unless you are just about giving it away.

Craigslist seems to show a number of them from the late 80's for around $15K.

In my experience people trying to sell a boat in this price range do not do improvements except what is absolutely necessary.

Not everyone is as blessed as you are. Us lowly bottom dwellers enjoy the water as best we can.

Asking $16k
Respectfully .... Having been a contractor since 1980 I come to believe that nothing good comes of: " it must be sold ! " " at any price ! " or " do this or that and I don't care what it costs ! " Very seldom does one get something for nothing. just sayn' fb
