update....
looks like it sold for $4450, not really a bad price for an 07 if you ask me, as long as the description was accurate.

LOL, I used to remember watching Gary Gnu. Thanks Spim!
Whats funny is the last two guys bidding were 0 feedbackers, hmmmmm. I really hate that you can't do much leg work on bidders anymore, unless your the seller I guess. Hard to find the shills sometimes.

your right, the last two were zero guys, which MIGHT mean we'll see it relisted in a few days

Tim, I thought you would go for the "Budweiser" bucket instead.
I have the same ski & color in Michigan but with the original motor. Up here it's going for about $1500 or so with trailer. So in FL he might get $1000 with the "new SBT" motor, but it's now out of warranty. So maybe less.

Hey if you don't ask it then you can't get it I guess.
It's a salt water wagon, it's not worth that much:lols:
This is the "Please the Mrs. ad". Yes ma'am, I'll list the Seadoo on CL this Sunday. Knowing to shoot high on the price to be sure to keep ownership of it. And at that point, why waste my time cleaning it off, I might miss the kickoff.
I know you do, that's why I mentioned it. IIRC we both had the same yucky reaction at Applebees when we picked up the ski from you.BTW, I finally got the promotion at work that I mentioned to you. Starting first of the year I'll be the Beverage Manager at a new remodeled & expanded Krogers in Livonia, Mi.

New Sead Doo Boats Again? http://okaloosa.craigslist.org/bod/4231688325.html

so true... before I ever sold a ski, the engine & exhaust were usually touched up with paint, then, I ride & flush, wash & full detail, wax, spray the engine with lubricant, put a tow rope, a quart of oil and a battery charger in the storage bin, and the engine bay smells like lemons. I leave it parked in the garage & it never hits the water again until its sold. I give away free life jackets too, (one boat purchase I made came with like 9 pretty nice life jackets, so I figured what the hell)
my closing ratio was incredibly high once I actually got a buyer to come to the house and look (the hard part), and I had good success IMO primarily because they had just looked at 2 other ski's that were filthy, smelled like mold and grease, and parked in the back yard with the wells full of water and leaves & grass stuck to the hull.
(same deal goes with selling a car, it gets a full inside/out detail and then waits for a buyer)

Yes - I have heard this comment over and over again. "Man the last seadoo we were looking at was awful" etc etc.
I was recently looking for a 4tec and found a 2002 4tec 120 hr version of my own skis (2002 GTX DI's) that looked exactly the
same so I thought kind of a cool idea as I really like the color scheme....drove 2 hours to see it and when we pulled up it
was a "Oh man that thing looks like crap" - water line stain around the hull about 3-4 inches wide, small black marks ALL over
the topside - and I mean all over. It actually ran pretty good and checked out good as far as we went with it but if the
seller had taken just 15 minutes with a bucket of soap and a magic eraser it would have looked 10x better. I probably would have
made the deal on it.
I kept looking at the seadoo marks etc and looking back at the guy selling it (hoping to elicit some comment on the condition
but not a peep.
So when I see that, and they say that it was always maintained, oil changed as required etc you just think "BS" so we moved on.
Ended up I had traded texts with another guy the previous night regarding a package he had. I dug out the info on my phone and
he was only another 45 min away - and available. Ended up buying an 04 GTX Ltd 4tec with 63 hrs on it and a 98 GTX Ltd with a double trailer at 10 PM! I can now sell the 98 and double trailer and recoup almost all my money. Pretty happy we decided to walk.
First impression is everything when it's a personal doo - unless it's a project of course. That's when you can mentally see
how good it will look - and the crappier the better when you're negotiating!

Yip, it helps when you just stand there and stare at it with them, looking ugly as all hell. I can see the price dropping in their head while we stare at it because they are thinking... "who the hell is going to buy this".
If I liked the work (and I don't) I could probably make about $35 an hour detailing ski's for sale for other people,$100 worth of detailing can add 3-400 to a price tag on any ski that starts.
Oh crap. I had everything cleaned up and under control(looking) around here. I had my projects picked out, my parts sourced, and now this: http://okaloosa.craigslist.org/boa/4250475735.html
That is the kinda cheap that gets my attention. And don't you think I lack the co-hones to offer even less. This thing is sitting like a mile from my shop. I almost hope someone swooped in and got it yesterday but if not then I just can't resist.
