On February 18, 2008 I called the Boat & Yacht Liquidators to put an offer on 2003 Sea Fox boat, after talking to Bill on speaker phone with two people listening to the conversation Bill indicated to us the boat comes with it own trailer, so my bid was in line with the market value and what the boat worth.
A week went by and didn't hear from the them, so I called them and asked to talk to the sales manager to inquire about my offer. Bob sounded very confused At first he said the bank counter offer has not came in yet !!then he said trailer is not included!! Then asked me if I want to increase my bid by more than one thousand.
I asked him why do I have to increase my bid? when I have not heard from you on my first bid? Bob didn' know what to say but he mange to tell me that some one else over bid me. I asked for approval, his answer was look if you interested in the boat you should pay for more I asked about the trailer his response was $1500 more for the trailer!! I told him that the Boat way over priced and their business practice should be investigated.
No wonder this company can NOT have real time action! Can NOT use legalment auction like Ebay ! or even be honest about what they sell. They will advertise for a Boat and then when some one show interest in the boat, they change their ad on their web site like take out the trailer for extra money and tell you that you were over bid on a boat has been setting for months if not years. DO NOT buy from them and search other real time actions sites like Ebay.com govdeals.com and do your home work you could be saving lots of money.
Since they operate in Florida, California and other states, the FBI should be investigating this company for their criminal activities of extorting money from the Boat owner and buyers.

A good experience report

In April 2008 I placed a bid in writing, using their bid form for a 2006 2901 Seaswirl Striper @ $70,000.00. Within 3 days I was informed that the 'bank' would not accept my bid (I had low balled it expecting a counter offer) but would accept a sale bid of $5,000.00 more than I had offered.
I accepted the bid, paid money down and awaited the bank release which came within a couple of weeks. Paid, sealed and delivered as represented without a hitch. This transaction was as seamless and open as any I have been involved in.
Each state has their own office and sales people. You may be treated differently in each but the representative in Washington State was great!

I was employed by National Liquidators for 9 years until 1999, I left because of health reasons. In those 9 years National sold, via the auction process, over 3,500 boats and yachts. I have never witnessed what this person claims. Yes, the accusations like his were always alleged but never verified, because it never happened. Only the poor loser bidders made those accusation.
The vessels sold through auctions are the asset of the person who lost it through reposession. The Banks have legal obligation to get as much money for that asset that is possible, the books are only guides not Bible's as to a vessels worth. The banks are not obligated to accept those values, they do in time accept the average bids that are placed, accepting the fact that what they are getting for bids and is what the vessel is really worth. The Bank in most cases will ask for a defficiency hearing to seek the difference of what is owed on the vessel by the person who lost it. The auction process establishes the average worth of that vessel from the buying public.
As for the Trailer, that information is published on their website, it's all spelled out there. I do not believe Bob the salesmanager was confused, I think the bidder was confused and did not like the fact someone out bid him. Think about it he's the only one in the tens of thousands who have placed bids with National and complained to this site. FBI investigation? My God get over it.
