Held onto it several years too long hoping we'd use it more than once or twice a season, but small kids and moving further from Winnipesaukee a couple years ago forced the realization that it's time to part ways.

I would LOVE to know more about this. This is exactly what I have been searching for.

Unfortunately the site owner here will not allow me to contact you. If you post it elsewhere, ask them to check this site and perhaps they can CONTACT ME

Why can't you PM them?

I don't know much about consignment sales but I can tell you this. This time last year I put my 2 used Seadoos on craigs list and had them both sold for cash at asking price by that afternoon. They were at my home in southern NH not at the lake. I was amazed they sold so quick without a test drive. I did start them for a few seconds. I assume the market is still very good. Was not a hassle.

Try this: Go to Baseball Fam Post, click on his name and you should get a pull down menu, one of which is send private message.

If you are on the Winni app (Tapatalk), you may have to go to "full site" and then proceed as above.

I talked with the folks at DaSilva Motorsports who were very helpful to inquire about consignment (and it turns out I need to get a new battery). They said they definitely will do a consignment sale there but, with the market right now, selling on my own (via facebook marketplace, craigslist, pwctrader, etc.) should be easy and save me on paying the consignment fee. So, I'm going to go that route. Once I get the battery installed so it's water-ready, I'll be listing it myself.

Thanks all for the feedback here on this!!

I have been told that new recently posted ads in Craigslist typically get contacted by scammers look'n to hit on a newbie ...... so's you want to be a detective for possible scammers posing as a buyer .... and use your best judgement with WHOM you choose to communicate. ...

Years ago, a scammer could purchase a bank check for $6.00 ..... and then alter it with a fountain pen to turn the $6.00 into $60. and use the altered check to purchase some item that cost $25 from someone who was eager to sell the item plus give them $35 in change.

Definitely have to be more careful than ever, but I much prefer Facebook Marketplace as sellers can at least get an idea of the buyer.

I use Craigslist a lot to sell cars or fill rental property. I just sold some furniture on it too.

The first clue of a scam inquiry is the email response that says: "Is your item still for sale?" without mentioning what it is.

You can bet that you are their 5,000th email that day as they look for more suckers!
