Bottomline. No hard feeling toward you at all. But I am pissed at the seller "Becky".

Here is my side of the story. I saw the boat on CL 20 min after it was posted and called to set up a time to see the boat. I am in San Diego and Becky said she was not going to sell/show the boat over the weekend. I had two options.

1. Drive to Fresno 5 hours away hoping nothing the boat did not sell over the weekend. Because I had no contact with her over the weekend.

2. I called her again first thing Monday morning and said I would be driving up first thing Tuesday morning with cash in hand. I asked about paying a deposit online if she would hold the boat just until I was able to drive up. She said no need and because I had talked to her first and she seemed like an honest women.

She called me back around 1:00 pm Monday afternoon and bold faced lied to me. This is the only thing I am pissed about. She said the previous owner had passed away about a year prior and she was selling some if his belonging through the business. She fabricated a story that he had three daughters and one of the daughters wants the bait so she was now unable to sell the boat. It seemed a little fishy and I again asked it she had another offer or higher bidder to please let me know and I would be willing to increase my bid.

Bottomline like I said no hard feeling toward you. You were just much better at negotiating the deal than I was. I am still pissed at Becky for not being straight with me. Good luck with the boat. It is the cleanest looking one I have seen and if you want to sell it let me know.
