Good luck chaps, hurry up, Alderney beckons...... Paul Edited March 12, 2008 by Sinbad Quote
Bob F Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Posted March 12, 2008 Once I've got some pictures together I will advertize her on Boats and Outboards. But I think you only get one picture for free now. Quote
Coddy Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Good luck Bob in selling. If you need to dump all your marks from the plotter, please drop them my way! Coddy Quote
Maverick Martin Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Once I've got some pictures together I will advertize her on Boats and Outboards. But I think you only get one picture for free now. What about putting a link from the advert to your pages in the photo gallery? Martin Quote
Bob F Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Posted March 13, 2008 Coddy, I'd have to put the price an another grand if I left the marks on the plotter. Might just do that Martin, thanks. Quote
great white Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 Hi Bob I sold GW through Boats and Outboards I put the one photo in and mentioned in the text that many more photo's are available. I also wrote a few pages on word included some photo's and filed it on my PC, I then attached it to my short reply to all that emailed me from B and O. Hope that helps Charlie Quote
Sinbad Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 BTW, I never worked out how to cancel the advert once it had been placed, so I was still getting enquiries 6 months after it had sold. After a month, I think it gets placed in the free paper which is circulated nationally. Paul Quote
Bob F Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Posted March 14, 2008 She's now sold subject to the money clearing. I'll be really sad to see her go. Looks like I can be a fairly regular crew for a while, Charlie. BF Quote
Wedger Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 Nice one Bob. Hope you find a cracking replacement........you guys......... Quote
Maverick Martin Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 Wow that was quick is she going to remian local? Martin Quote
Bob F Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Posted March 21, 2008 Thanks for all the best wishes, guys. Well, she has now gone. I can't believe I've let her go. I have to admit to having a little tear in my eye. But she's gone to a good home and you'll still be seeing her in Poole, so be careful when you pass by her and give the V sign. She's going to be used for the same reasons I brought her, fishing and towing the kids on a doughnut, so it will be like leading a horse to the stables, she'll know exactly what is expected of her. It will be nice to still see her around. And we'll hopefully be getting some new family members to the club, too. So, onwards and upwards, I guess. I'll be moving my attention to the Aquafish 23 with Adam. Let's hope we have as many happy days as I did with Splash-Out. Quote
great white Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 Well done Bob It will be good to see her locally Did you leave the marks in the plotter? Best of luck withthe new one Charlie Quote
Bob F Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Posted March 21, 2008 no Charlie, that would've put an extra Quote
