I've Been Screwed! ! !

SHIP'S LOG:

     I found out something rather distress today.  As you know, ABISHAG has been up for sail since before I went up and down the ICW. I talked with a broker in the spring/summer of 2010 and he put the boat on the market at what I thought was a fair price. Well, with the economy and all the other financial things, lots of what people consider "toys" were not selling.  I didn't want to drop the price less I unload her for less than she is worth. And I waited.

     Since I am in the process of selling, or trying to sell my condo, and have been for even longer than I've been trying to sell ABISHAG, I knew that I wasn't going to hear much if anything from the broker unless he a a nibble. But after three years, I heard nothing so I decided to bite the bullet and make a serious drop in asking price. Since this would entail some paper work, I headed over to the broker's office this morning  . . . . only to find that it was closed. And not only closed, but a brand new business now occupies the spot!

    I got back home and dashed of an email to the broker only to get a demon-mailer response that the email address was no longer any good. I went on several online boats-for-sale sites and look for ABISHAG thinking to contact the broker at whatever number was listed. Surprise, she wasn't listed anywhere! I have no idea how long the business has been closed and I have no idea how long they have not been trying to sell my boat.  Now, I've got to find a new broker and go through all the nonsense again.  O well, maybe it will work this time!
