I've sold a powerboat on EBAY before. I was surprised how easy it was.
I listed the boat locally for a few weeks and then tried EBAY (it sold
pretty quick). I would say just be careful...inspect the boat before
bidding and get it surveyed 1st if you're serious. I am a surveyor and
have inspected boats listed on EBAY; some match the seller's
description, but many do not (or hidden damages are found).

I was surprised at those who bid on my boat, only one person came out
to see it and the ultimate buyer never saw the boat until the day he
picked it up!!! In my particular case, I was proud of what I listed
for sale and confident it represented the condition I claimed it was
in. Some sellers could misrepresent (either knowlingly or not) which
could leave the buyer in a bad situation...good luck-

Has anyone bought a sailboat on EBAY or know of someone who has?

Any opinions on the prices sought and got selling sailboats on EBAY?

Would you buy a sailboat on EBAY? If not, why?

Is EBAY a good place to sell a boat, if yes, why. If no, why?
