Be careful not to put TOO much weight into the comps on soldboats.com. It's hard to tell what the condition of the comps are. I suppose there are very few other tools to rely on, but we had fits with broker(s) that kept wanting to compare our (former) '86 Senator to other Senators that sold over the past few years. This broker insisted we look at the comps and that we were overpriced, but we knew (as did he) that our boat was in FAR FAR FAR better shape than any of the comps he listed. Moreover, some of the comp boats were still on the market from when we first purchased over 4 1/2 years ago. Soldboats.com can't filter boats in the the same condition as other boats, just by the usual year, make, model, size, hull, engines, etc...
This broker is notorious for getting the listing and then pressuring sellers to lower their price if it doesn't sell in 30 days. The irony (if that's the right use for the term) is that the same broker sold us the boat and helped us a lot through our first years of ownership. He saw almost all the upgrades we did and when he had a potential buyer, our boat had value, however, when WE approached him to list the boat, he actually turned down our listing because he said he couldn't sell it for what we were asking. What a tool...
It was damn frustrating. Lucily, forum member DaddyO took the time to come look at the boat and agreed that we were very much in the ballpark with price.
In the end, we did a FSBO with DaddyO's help and got exactly what we wanted and what it was worth. The moral is, rely on more that one value guide and find a broker that isn't a dickface. :lol:
