Baller LoopSki Posted January 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 28, 2017 I have gotten some emails for my boat that's for sale . First email asked if the boat was involved in a serious accident. Which I responded no. Second email asked if I had a HIN report for it. I responded no, but the boat has been on private lake its entire life. Third he asked me to get a report from hindetector.com, and that he would repay me for it if he buys. He also said he would like to come over and see the boat tomorrow if the report was clean. I'm fairly certain this guy is just trying to bait me into paying for this service. He has not asked any serious questions that a skier or real buyer would ask. I'll keep corresponding with him to see where this goes. I responded to the last email where he was coming from to see if he even knows what region I'm in. the website seems legit, but no initial pricing without entering your HIN.

Baller Jordan Posted January 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 28, 2017 Tell him that if HE gets the report you'll pay for it if he buys the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Stevie Boy Posted January 29, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 29, 2017 Doesn't sound like a serious buyer, kick him out of bounds, if he is interested he is going to try and low ball you, a dealer report or something like that should be good enough, some people are not not worth your time and effort, it's up to him to satisfy himself it's a good buy. If the boat has been on the market for a while, it always attracts people who think they can get it at a very low price, take it off for a bit and then advertise again elsewhere.

Baller jcamp Posted January 29, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 29, 2017 It's a scam. I got a lot of these "requests" when I put a truck for sale on craigslist last summer. I didn't fall for it, but my guess is you pay for the report and suddenly they are no longer interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LoopSki Posted January 29, 2017 Author Baller Share Posted January 29, 2017 Never responded to me after asking where he was coming from. Definitely scam. Trading it in anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom2jack Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Definitly a scam. I fell for it. Pd $25 for a HIN report. Thought it might help sell the boat. I got it and it looked legit but showed no information except std boat info. Canceled my CC immediately but was still charged 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
