Scimitar
« on: April 21, 2013, 09:49:59 AM »
Our newest member Mike (SST) is having problems getting ahold of the seller ...

23 glastron - $2500 (Statesville nc)
http://charlotte.craigslist.org/for/3742811348.html

I have sent emails also and no reply...
Any one close to boat/seller ?

I have sent emails to at least four CV for sale ad's on CL with no reply, CL changed the way you contact sellers and I can't believe five seller didn't respond to my inquiries ...
Is any one else able to get through ?

Thanks for the help guys ...

I've had trouble with CL replies also.  I started putting my phone number in my contact.  I've had text responses and absolutely zero responses by e-mail.

I just sold 2 things last week on CL, only used their anonymous email system, seemed to work ok, but you have to check your spam folder/filter as it can get put there...

Try putting a posting in that section asking the seller to contact you. Emails are probably going into the sellers junk mail.

Its posted in " General For Sale " ...
If he won't check his email spam , don't think he'll find it in that section, it looks to be about 2 to 4 pages a day.
But ... Ya worth a try !

I am about 45 minutes south of Statesville. If you can get me some more information I can run and take a look at the boat this week. Let me know how I can assist.

I can take a look today. I will also attempt to contact the seller. Maybe he isn't responding because you guys are so far away. I'll let you know how I make out.

I got an email from him about rebuilding the hull, all white, wanting a price, and converting it to a Berkly jet drive.  I don't have the time to discuss all that thru emails, so I suggested he just call me, he replied he would call me yesterday, but I didn't hear from him.
I don't know enough about setting up a jet drive to tackle that job, but I would be interested in another winter project scimitar.  I'm not going to be taking in any more work until fall, for winter.

slight change in destination for the scimitar, looks like it's going to Kentucky now, not Georgia, the seller
took the first money, after telling Mike they had a deal, I know ...first money talks
