Two good sized Goats

99% of motors and boats on trade me are way over priced.. hence why most have been listed for many months.
 A good motor, fairly priced in low to mid range of fair price will move within 2 to 3 weeks or listings
 3 examples .. our boat fairly priced good condition just needed a little tidy up.. moved on 2nd listing when we brought... after watching for near on a yr.
 When we sold our  motor (off the above boat).. sold , unseen, on 2nd listing .. for buy now price
 The motor we replaced it with, we brought on 2nd listing unseen....fairly priced.

 Add new listings for out boards to your favourites and email daly....watch list stuff of interest... note in your missed sales what sells and doesnt.
 Price accordingly.

 Rem it only worth what the buyer is prepared to pay... not what it may owe you.

Yep agree with OWT above..recon he  nails it.
 Think about who the market/ buy is most likely to be.
 Doubt if can be used as a trade in
limited market
 Would like to get little more than the scrape value. A start 500 no reserve, maybe a buy now 650 (??)

At that age it could break to an uneconomic to repair level any day. That's what happened to my 1991 115 Yammy that I thought was well maintained and running well. I got $500 as a trade on a new merc 4 stroke. The new motor is so amazing I now realise how crap the old one was. Probably best to take $500 or a grand for it as a trade. If you sell it pivately the person buying it wont be rich and it could break down on them any day.
