There are many good reasons to sell your Stacer
Outlaw for sale, whether you need the extra money or are simply shopping
for an upgrade (you might want to get a Stacer Sea Runner). And if you’re
selling your boat, you’ll probably be interested in selling it as quickly as
possible, as easily as possible, and for as much money as possible. These are
some of the most important benefits of selling your boat online:
More buyers
The volume of boat sales in the United States is higher than
it’s ever been – and trends are similar in other developed countries around the
world. There are hundreds of thousands of interested buyers around the world,
all of whom might be interested in buying your vessel. Unfortunately, if you
try to sell the boat on your own or list the boat in a local ad, you’ll only
tap a fraction of this audience. Having more buyers will also confer a number
of other benefits.
A quicker sale
For example, listing your boat online will often lead to a
quicker sale. Because you’ll have thousands of buyers looking at your listing,
there’s a higher chance that someone will want to place an offer. In some
cases, you could get multiple offers within a day or two of listing. If you
want to get this sale completed as quickly as possible, listing online is your
best bet.
A higher price
In many cases, you can justify selling for a higher price
when you sell online. You’ll have a much wider audience considering purchasing
your boat, which means you may have multiple people competing to outbid each
other. Charging a higher price will usually mean you’ll have to wait longer to
close the sale, but it’s a realistic possibility. You can also choose to lower
the price if you want to close the sale quickly.
Greater convenience
Listing your boat online is convenient like no other sales
channel. If you choose the right platform, you can write up your listing,
upload a few photos, choose a few options, and make your boat visible to buyers
in a matter of minutes. As long as you have some photos of the boat on hand,
you won’t even have to leave your house. Compare that to the long and
protracted process you’ll go through if you try to sell to a dealer.
Tips and recommendations
With the right platform, you’ll have access to tips and
recommendations for how to sell your boat more efficiently; and what to
consider during the selling process. If you’re not sure what your goals are or
if you don’t have much experience selling boats online, this can be invaluable.
If you’re selling in any other channel, you’ll find it hard to be convinced
that the buyer, dealer, or platform has your best interests at heart.
Low fees
No matter how you choose to sell your boat, you’ll probably
have to pay a fee or deal with a lower-than-usual selling price. But if you
sell online, you’ll be in the best possible position. Not only will you get to
sell your boat for what it’s worth, and sell it faster, your fees will be low.
Listing freedom
If you’re the one creating your listing ad, you can position
it however you want. You can describe the quirks and peculiarities of the fishing boat
for sale and describe in detail all the things you love about it. You can
even describe some of the experiences you had with the vessel to appeal to
buyers with a sentimental slant.
No need to spend on shipping fees
If you decide to sell
a boat at a boat show or to a local dealer, you’ll usually be responsible for
moving it. Even if you have all the right equipment for a move, this can be a
hassle. But if you sell online, you won’t have to worry about moving the boat –
the buyer could be responsible for this.
More secure documentation and traceable paper trail
When selling online, you’ll also have access to a detailed
paper trail. You can prove how and when the transaction occurred and review the
messages passed back and forth between you and the buyer. Additionally, many
platforms offer advice to sellers to protect them from fraudulent activity.
