The offer

Our broker Tom had given me a list of comparable boats and what their asking prices were. Passport 42's had asking prices from 110k to 149k and this one was near the bottom of the asking price list. So we stewed on it for a while and let the broker stew for a while then we came in with a low ball bid.

The owner countered, coming down quite a nice bit. We countered back and got an acceptance. With a 10% deposit in place we made our plans to go show Connie the boat, do a survey, and complete a test sail.
