Join Date: Jun What percentage of asking price would you offer? No one offers asking price for anything anymore..
At least I would. So, that being said- what would your initial offer be on a sailboat? As a percentage of asking price.. Start ridiculously low and let them tell you the bottom price? With a boat that cheap are they really just looking for someone to take it rather than having to find a way to junk it..?
If a broker is handling a boat under 5K, what would they be expecting? Just curious Join Date: May Re: what percentage of asking price would you offer?? Offer what the boat is worth to you. I have seen a few hat were steals at the listed price and others that were so over priced any offer would be ridiculous. So determine what the boat is worth and make the offer accordingly.
The operative words being "fairly priced". Join Date: Sep We offered 31, on a boat listed for 37, Seller accepted and after the survey we ended up getting it for 28, Nothing too bad in the survey. One cap shroud needed to be replaced, the stainless fitting holding the headsail to the bowsprit was a little rusty, lifelines had a plastic covering so the surveyor said that usually causes rust so he said they were 'likely' bad, he said the aluminum holding tank needed replacing.
We planned on a composting head anyway. Join Date: Nov Originally Posted by scgilligan. As a percentage of asking price? They are always much better value and well priced initially. Join Date: Aug I always thought of it as a way to get only "serious inquries" to call but if what you think is true I would start at one dollar if they have no price in mind..
