Used Boat Classifieds Reveals on the Verge of Repo Owners

Sifting through your local used boat classifieds section for boats and or equipment has proven itself a place to find motivated sellers as well as listings for boat sales and auctions.

Here's why however, I almost strictly use internet classified sites to find steals. Many sellers even dealers have inventory that they must sell. This is particularly true in this market.

One key resource that offers regional and local used boat listings is BoatAuctionsDirect.com. This site actually aggregates auction, used boat classifieds and bank repo sources specific to the marine and powersport industry.

Listings are updated and arranged according to state and region. A big time saver and really does a great job drilling down into a market that is especially growing in this economy.

As it turns out you find more price extremes via. used boat classified than you do online. The classified seller is usually a bit less price savvy than his internet counterpart.

It's not uncommon to see used boat owners who don't know or haven't researched pricing listing their boat and or equipment either well above or below market. Whereas internet sellers with a few simple clicks can get several local comparable prices.

In terms of off line selection, local newpapers, weekly trader publications are good. But, you probably will not find as good a selection there as you would online.

Find Discounted Boat via. Your Local Classified or Your Local Auction House too!

Regional and local boat auctions are listed online as well. I personally have had wonderful success with an online auction data base at AuctionsPass.com. For a one time-life time fee you can pick and choose through hundreds of auctions houses online within close proximity. Listings are updated frequently.

Unlike used boat classifieds, auction houses present real, motivated sellers. They have to liquidate their inventory. Anything from used boats and accessories, repos (repossessions), sherrif repo's, as well as other government seized assets are sold as-is.

I like the classified section but I love to find the steals at auctions. In addition to the above, I've also listed several useful and reputable used boat sources below:
