I had posted something simlar but it must have disapeared in the server probs.
IF the boat itself is great, the sails do not matter if you buy low enough.
VERY low offer. Then you can afford new sails or a great second hand set.
What condition and worth is always subjective. The guy may just be completely out of touch or trying it on.
I went to see a $2,400 cat which was was just taking up too much room.
I did not care if I owned the boat or not....a powerful position.
I looked at it and thought what price would MAKE me buy this boat and said $1,000. They drove like a rocket to get the ownership changed and thanked me.
Wives are often the impetous to sell and believe me, if hubby gets an offer and does not accept it...he is in it deep!
They can only say no, right?
