Price to High ?

I am new on this site and listed my boat last week. I noticed a bunch of people have viewed it, but no replies. I have looked around a lot and thought my price was pretty reasonable. I have owned it for 3 years this month and have never had a single problem out of it. The only reason I am trying to sell my boat is I just boat a house and want to Build a shop. I would like to upgrade boats in a few years.

I also have it posted on onlyinboards.com and craigslist. Is there any other sites you guys would suggest I post it on ?

Thanks for the help.

You hit two of the big 3. The third is Boattrader.com.

For that boat I would say you are a bit on the high end, but there are other similar boats out there in that range. It might sell at that price or close to it, but it will take some time.

CorrectcraftFan.com is also another option. Price-wise, I would say your close to the proper range. (I have been looking at SANs for months now)

I'd also say that's a little high, but it depends on how quick u want it gone. A lower price will def get more inquiries, but too low and there's no room to negotiate, too high makes buyers not even consider it.

Honest feedback -- I looked at your boat on craigs a hundred times in the last few weeks... had it bookmarked and seriously considered contacting you... Had you been closer to town or with fewer hours I think I would have got over the $2K/$3K price diff between some that I was already looking at and contacted you... (I ended up buying a 2003 SAN TE 210 for $26K with 300 hours here in Austin 2 weeks ago -- it didn't have a trailer & the amps were fried on the sound system. The guy at the marina said there was a half dozen or so folks that wanted to see it, but luckily I was first to respond on that one.)

Maybe you could drop the price a little and remove all the extras from the ad (lifejackets, anchors, boards, etc) and save that for the negotiation conversation to keep your price up. Also, I'm not sure you'd go about it, but maybe work on making the process easier to see for out of towners... get a few folks lined up for a drive on a Saturday in ATX on Travis or Houston or something?

I will say if you are patient (assuming we ever get rain in the area) there aren't many wakeboard boats to be found right now for < $30k in all of Texas (trust me I had searches build on boat trader, searchtempest.com, etc.) In the last month I had 2 Tige's bought out from underneath me - both within 2 days of their craigslist post. I also looked at 2 Supra Launch's around the same year as yours... They both sold for around 25K, but they were both Direct drives with 300-400 hours.
