I was considering a boat I had found (1993 Camano, Hull #28) and dug around on the internet to see what I could find about that model and year of boat. What I found has me a bit puzzled. It had been for sale by another location of the same brokerage in mid-2014 for $6K less than the current listed price. Nothing in the current listing indicated any substantial upgrades or improvements to justify the price increase. The sales guy I spoke to indicated the price was fairly firm.
I would have expected the initial listing price to be near what a survey at that time would indicate. There has been the extra time and wear of the intervening year and a half. I would expect the survey value to go down along with the listed price, but the listed price went up.
My question to the group is: What reasons might there be for a substantial price increase a year and a half after not having sold and without documented upgrades or modifications?
It has me puzzled. What do you think of this?
Thanks.
