Unconfused (not sure if that is a word )

Moorings are very costly , no real competition and the prices are held high when crt refuse to lower the prices to what people are willing to pay , auctions often see them left empty when no one is willing to pay crt the money they set a reserve at , it is said many times something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Hope the link works, on my phone! It's basically a search 30/40 miles out from central London. Loads of "views" for Engineers Wharf auctions.. Zero bids for any. When the auction is up they re-list at the "buy it now" price that nobody wanted to pay in the auction! Surely market forces would dictate that the price should be dropped? Isn't it costing CRT precious cash to maintain all these empty and obviously overpriced moorings? Am I missing something here?

Yes.

 

If CRT reduce the price of vacant moorings, this depresses the prices of all the moorings currently being let, so when they come up for renewal the renewal price is lower.

 

It's counter-intuitive but it makes commercial sense to keep moorings empty rather than cut the price, in order to artificially support the rest of moorings market. Dishonest? Yes. Illegal? No.

I think I do when it comes to winter moorings

 

You're obviously having trouble reading. Check what I actually wrote!

 

The subject had moved on from winter moorings.

Nothing new there.

 

The old warehouse at Whaley Bridge has been empty and not earning a penny because BW insisted that they wanted it to become a nightclub (in Whaley?) and refused to countenance any other use.

I know I am not very clever so could you explain how that would work on approx 1,500 miles of towpath? Or is it a case of you don't know what you are talking about

 

There is nothing that I can add to this that you have not already proved to be true.

[Burgiesburnin]

Are you confusing winter moorings with online moorings?

Yes I am. I meant moorings in general that come up for sale or rental.
