southernman 73 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Guys, Need a quick answer what typically does a broker charge in Auckland to sell a yacht i.e. what percentage of the sale price? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 400 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Was 5% in my day but I believe is 6% now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RushMan 31 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Jeez, I need to put my fees up!!! You can when houses are selling for 150K A former real estate agent here in Oz is now selling planes for a living, his commission rate dropped from 3% to 0.15% and he couldn't be happier. House 1M, Plane 230M... You can do the maths Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southernman 73 Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Thanks heaps, boat sold boom! Negotiated me down 5% which is fine as it's a private sale. Onto another boat for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest shane Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 What sort off boat did you get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southernman 73 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Sold the boat looking to buy another! Any ideas downsizing financially so family cruiser 130 - 150k any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 in a mono you should be able to get a very nice boat for that, I have noticed one that has been for sale for ages at half that price that looks like a very nice family cruiser although only 34 ft , search trademe with scheel keel and you will see it, btw I have no connection with it it just seems good value and you would think open to negotiation. I have recently downsized from 43 to 38 and are very happy with a much cheaper more basic boat that does everything that I need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,239 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Might be worth a try? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-891014511.htm And http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-1103218198.htm Probably get one for 150....

southernman 73 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Farr 1220 why not! Good boats, we have just sold a catamaran mainly as it was more suited to offshore sailing and living aboard hence downsizing for weekending and occasional dash to Tonga possibly. Anyone know any problems with Endurance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 400 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Southern Man take note of what E749 tells you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,239 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Any reason that any issues with any boats suggested, or indeed any design, should be kept private? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
