10% to make a offer?
The Joys of brokerage boats... they want 10% of asking price to pass along a offer on a boat... does anyone ever do this?.. On several hundred thousand dollars that a lot of coin just to ask a question... then try to get it back if they say no...
What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Jeff

tell em to fk off on the 10% to present an offer and present the offer with a time line set to your likings to respnd by, or you will look up the owner direct by the reg numbers.

Confused:
Are saying you listed your boat with a broker, they have an offer that is less than asking price but want you to pay brokerage on the asking price?
Example:
Boat listed for $10K, they have an $8K offer. They want you to pay $1K vs $800?
I have no clue but would think they would take 10% of the actual sales price.
Or are you saying your boat is for sale and a broker called you up saying they have a client but want the brokers fee if that person buys it? The buyer is the one using the broker- make them pay it, not you.
Or are you saying you have to pay 10% just to find out- like an antie? If that is the case tell them thanks but no thanks.
