Someone got a bargin this morning!

I've been watching this for a little while, and was convinced the reserve was going to be something like £5k. But it only went for £3k......If only I hadn' been in bed, I could have bid on it. So frustrating:

You have to look at these things positively - so risky to buy unseen - "bit of a misfire mate" - ends up never been serviced has a cracked block hydraulicing seawater - horribly repaired gash is a 'low speed impact' -

Also useful to know they can go this cheap - helps with the bargaining for next time

Seems like a bargin, but if the engine has had it, thats an expensive hull and console

Yup. Methinks someone got cold feet about selling it for £3k!

very naughty selling for 3k and asking the guy for 4.5k due to his own mistake, perhaps the buyer went and viewed it after closing auction for 3 k and was quite pleased the seller really wanted 4.5k as it was a nice excuse to back out!!

Probably very strong and well built but i suspect it has had a hard life
