Hey everyone,
I'm helping a friend sell his boat. I made a small webpage for it, but is
there any place online where I can post it? I searched around for some
forums and that sort of thing on the web but couldn't come up with much. If
you know of any place or have any suggestions as to how I could get it seen,
please respond. Thanks in advance!

rec.boats.marketplace is a good start. Post your link there. Just make sure
you include the word "in" in the subject line or it will bounce back. An
example would be "FS:2002 Grady White in Miami".
Good luck,
Dan

Put it on <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.boattrader.com" target="_blank">www.boattrader.com</a> and <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.boats.com" target="_blank">www.boats.com</a> Both get more hits than a

Problem with Ebay is the fees. What we ideally wanted to do was just
promote the boat freely first, and then resort to Ebay if we didn't get any
response.

Then park it in your front yard with a cardboard FOR SALE sign....
eBay gives you exposure to millions for $40 listing fee (ebay motors) + $40
fee if and when you get the first bid for a total of $80.
Cardboard sign will be seen by the same 100 uninterested people that drive
by everyday - cost = free
Putting up a webpage and posting in a few newsgroups and sites will get a
few more viewers than the cardboard sign method.
It just depends on if you really want to sell it or not.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: How to sell a boat online? |

Post it right here, and other newsgroups with boat in their title.

Boattrader.com by far the largest site for this. Fees are cheap and are
charged like a classified ad, not a % like ebay. The site can be searched
based on geography, type of boat, length, price, year, manufacturer, key
word of your choice or any combination of the foregoing. Right now, they
have 86,798 boats listed! Its a fantastic site and I sold my first boat on
the site and bought my second. When I sold my boat, it was noticed by
someone out of town, but who searched by town because they were coming here
on a boat buying trip. (they said there were no good boats for sale in
their town). When I searched to buy a boat, I limited it to areas I knew I
could get to and found a great one about 80 miles from my house. Hands
down, the boat should be listed here.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: How to sell a boat online? |

I'd no more suggest that a poster add more political and personal
attack crap here than I would suggest the post of advertisements for
boats, viagra, or pyramid schemes.
Why suggest making already bad, that much worse?

It's a link to a boat for sale. It's not a binary post or a penis enlargement
ad. It's far more on topic than about 50% of the posts here...
