[quote=Edchris177]The "D" & "F" keys are side by each, I think Andrew meant "gold".
There is a fundamental problem with determining the price of a used Cat. It doesn't matter what the owners cost was, they are only worth what someone is willing to pay. In terms of volumn, relatively speaking, very few actually change hands in a season. Fewer still would be H18s. Your target market is very small.
Best case scenario, a very motivated buyer decides he REALLY wants a Cat, it has to be an 18, yours is the only one for sale, AND he lives in the next town.
You hold the balance of power, & ALL sales are about thgis balance of power. Reduce, or eliminate any one of the above variables, the offer price will go down.
Scroll through the want ads, see what comparable 18s sold for. Google H18, see what Craigslist, etc has sold them for.
One last thing, only cement a "minimum price" in your mind IF you really don't need or want to sell something. Boats are a toy, & the value of a used toy can gyrate widely depending on the economy etc. Also don't fall into sellers remorse, two weeks after you sell, you see another one go for $300 more than you got. Much like the stock market, rarely can you buy at the low & sell at the ultimate high. In many cases it is better to to get 2/3 of what you wanted, & be rid of the item, than hold out for a golden offer, & still be in posession 3 years later.[/quote]
