THT,

I need some help pricing some items for sale

I have 3 Seaview radar mounts (I think they are all Seaview).

I have one small radar mount by Seaview.

I have a used leaning post that holds six scuba tanks with retractable pedastal.

I have 3 lobster/crab traps of various sizes-really nice antique traps.

These are large items-how do I ship these the most cost effective way to someone who wants them?

Thanks for your help and Have a Great Day!

Where are you located? You best bet to to sell it locally or box it up and send it UPS.

Houston, TX - They are just too big-UPS makes you send it Freight. Totally cost ineffective. I could do Craigs, but then you have to deal with all that. These items are pretty specific to THT people.

Thanks for the input.....

I found that the big array on the left is a Seaview, custom model 12.

As for the Radar Mounts, what do you guys think about the price point on radar masts of this size in good condition? Just the base is $1500 retail- thats the lowest I could find online.

Thanks

Some of those items are a tough sell. Those large mounts are pretty large vessel specific. You may want to see if there is a local used marine electronics store and see what they would offer.

The leaning post shouldn't be hard to get rid of. $500 if you're lucky probably $250 would get it gone in a hurry. The lobster traps would probably go for $20-$50each. Seat--$100, bases $20-$40.

Again it just depends if you are willing to be patient or if you are looking for the money. Everyone is always looking for a deal and you have items that would interest people.

Up this way, those traps are only used for coffee tables now...
