Here are five simple strategies to help you spot a good deal and make a smart purchase. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share OBA Buying Tip # 2 | How to Spot a Good Deal at an Online Boat Auction Aziza | BASCO Team Oct 6, 2024 Here are five simple strategies to help you spot a good deal and make a smart purchase. Online boat auctions can be a treasure trove of opportunities for savvy buyers. With the right strategies, you can find amazing deals that others might overlook. Here are five simple strategies to help you spot a good deal and make a smart purchase. 1. Know What You Want Before you begin browsing, take a moment to clarify what kind of boat you’re looking for. Are you interested in a fishing boat, a sailboat, or perhaps a family cruiser? Additionally, if the boat is available online, be sure to consider the associated expenses. Some boats are sold "as is, where is," so it's essential to have a clear understanding of any additional costs you may incur. 2. Check the Credibility of the Auction Platform Not all auction sites are created equal. Research the platform to ensure it has a good reputation. Look for reviews, ratings, and testimonials from other buyers. A trustworthy auction site should provide clear information about the bidding process, seller credentials, and customer support. This will give you confidence as you handle your options. 3. Do Your Inspection Always inspect the boat listing closely. Look for detailed descriptions and quality photos. A well-detailed listing should include information about the boat’s condition, maintenance history, and any repairs needed. 4. Schedule a Viewing If possible, try to see the boat in person before you bid. Scheduling a viewing allows you to check the boat’s condition firsthand and ask the seller any questions. If you can’t make it to the auction site, consider asking for a virtual tour. This gives you a better sense of what you’re getting into and helps you make a more informed decision. 5. Ask Questions Don’t hesitate to reach out to the seller or broker with any questions you have. Ask about the boat's history, any issues, or why they're selling it. With the right knowledge and preparation, you can uncover fantastic opportunities that suit your needs. If you’re looking for great offers, check out our October Online Boat Auction [ https://boatguru.app/Browse/C242842/Boats-for-Sale-by-Online-Auction ] some fantastic deals are waiting for you!

Looking for a reliable and affordable boating service? Look no further than Basco Boating Service! We offer a wide range of services including Non-Exclusive Brokerage Service < Back Non-Exclusive Brokerage Service 8% - 10% 30 minutes Book Now About Exclusive vs Non-Exclusive Listing Agreements to Sell Your Boat If you choose to list exclusively with a single boat broker, they are more likely to charge a lower commission rate. This is due to knowing their brokerage firm will eventually close the deal and earn the commission. This gives the boat broker more predictability. Therefore, they may agree to negotiate a lower commission rate to entice you to sign for a 6 to 12-month exclusive listing agreement. Signing a non-exclusive listing means you list with multiple boat brokers. Consequently, this also means that there is a good chance that another boat broker will make the sale. So, there is little incentive for the non-exclusive boat broker to do much work on your sale, other than listing your boat on listing websites. These websites could be global boat listing sites or their own website. But then they sit and wait for a buyer to find the boat online and contact the broker. There is little incentive to put in extra effort over and above the initial matchmaking opportunities, neither is there much incentive to reduce the commission rate. Are there any other costs or charges apart from the commission? From a traditional brokerage perspective, generally no. Free to list, sit and wait and cross your fingers. The traditional broker will check their networks, hoping to find a buyer and make a quick and profitable “OMG, that’s Amazing!!!” boat sale. From time to time this happens, and to be fair its exactly what everyone wants, the boat owner and the boat broker. It’s an ideal situation! In the absence of the easy deal (which is most of the time), some boat brokerages offer more service choices to their boat owner clients. The additional services kick into place when the easy deal isn’t happening. We call this Enhanced Brokerage. Along with the above, an enhanced brokerage will include additional marketing services. Choosing enhanced marketing from the get-go often includes marketing with drone footage, for example. The broker arranges for these additional services and offers them at a fee. When the value or attractiveness of your boat is high the boat broker might think there is a good chance that your boat will sell quickly. In this case, the boat broker might offer these services free of charge as an incentive to sign an exclusive listing. If you're trying to decide a exclusive or non-exclusive listing is best, it greatly depends upon your objectives, time line to a sale and the boat itself. Previous Next
