Heard of www.boatsforsalebyowners.net ???? opinion???

My boat is currently listed on onlyinboards and here.  I received a call from these people that think they can "sell my boat within a month"  

Has anyone even heard of them, and if so are they reputable?  They want to charge $299 to list, but of course thinks it will sell for over my asking price.

Well they say that there is one born every minute.  Try not to be one.  But if you decide you want to, tell them you are not interested - there will be a one day sale the next day.

I guess I don't understand, forgive me.  They are a listing site, they don't actually take possession of the boat.  They say they work just like onlyinbaoards, but are more proactive with where they market. 

Or does your response mean you have heard of them, and they are not reputable?

Ive heard of them.  Same question comes up frequently on boat sites.  Bottom feeders that troll other site for sale ads.

Look at it this way - you ever heard of them?  If not, why consider giving them money when you are already listed on the main site people look at?

got it, and was my initial reaction also. Thanks!!

Don’t waste your money.  Stick with onlyinboards.  Unless they guarantee they will sell it for above asking price!  Bet they don’t 😉

Since they are on .net, I wondered why not .com like any good business should have, so I checked. The ".com" domain is currently for sale. Just a paltry $50,000. If that's too steep, you can lease it for just under $1,100 per month.

You're welcome.

Lots of places cant get the .com name they want. People buy up domains and sit on them waiting for someone to offer to buy them. 

I have a friend in the IT world and he owns hundreds of domain names. He says he makes several thousand per year from selling them.
