They were queuing three deep to buy my RS300 a few months back despite the bullish price. Never known anything like it.

Will be putting a double bottomed N12 on the market soon can't imagine the the phone will be quite so hot but we will see.

It has to be said that asking prices of RS400's seem to have fallen in the last year or so. Perhaps a bit of a glut in the used market, as several people around here have bought new ones after the re-vamp.
I don't really know what's happening in other classes.

Decided to sell our well used Topper at the weekend and it went last night.  As has been said before, it's very dependant on the boat and price range.  Not all doom and gloom though!

I've bought and sold a couple of boats recently.  Cheap Toppers/Picos/Lasers etc seem to be well in demand and sell quickly if priced well.   I picked up a very nice (and cheap) Pico for my daughter on ebay the other week, but I've also noticed some of the newer plastic fantastics bid to surprisingly low values on there too.  I also sold an Ent recently, which I thought was a reasonable boat at a sensible price, but it took months to shift and in the end I had to drop the price by perhaps a quarter. So the lesson I take from all this is that money is tight, the boats that are selling are those that are well priced, and anything that is over priced will take a long time to move.
