RLWP Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Spotted that last night, but as i know somebody who is looking for a shortened 'Town' i tipped them off and decided not to put it on here. Good - that means I won't have to Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard T Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I looked hard at this advert last night and wanted to make an offer but had major objections from the better half. Its a lovely looking boat and it looks to be in good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athy Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Do you have to guess the price? ...and imagine the video? Perhaps it's like the old Rolls-Royce adage: if you have to ask the price, you can't afford them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay4424 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Do you have to guess the price? I think junior did ask, and fell over at the response ... but don't quote me on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Hogg Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Don't know about guessing the price the video doesn't currently work either! At least the video on my ad works and we leave no stones unturned! http://www.apolloduck.co.uk/feature.phtml?id=407043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mack Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I don't think he really wants to sell them. They are listed under 'Barges' rather than 'Narrow Boats', as 'Vessel type: Product carrier' and 'Model: 72 Traditional'. None of those are terms likely to be used by a potential buyer searching for this type of craft. The Builder and Make are given as 'Harland And wolf' and 'Harland & Wolff', so he can't even get that the same on two successive lines of the ad!

I think you're right. He (do we know it's a he and not a she?) is going through the motions of selling whilst sending reams of 'not for sale' subtexts. I wonder why they are bothering. Under pressure to 'sell' from a third party perhaps. Just idle speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
