Since then the new dealer seems to be acting as a broker which has helped control supply and used values.

I wasn't, just stating the facts as they are. the dealer has done some brokerage for people and others have changed hands via the CA facebook page et al. You were selling at what turned out to be a quiet time. Things picked up dramatically at the end of the season with all the used boats that came up selling very quickly indeed.

Nothing to do with the dealer, the used boats have all been snapped up with fleets growing and an explosion of growth north of the border.

Do think the dealer offering a brokerage service has helped firm up prices too. Am very impressed with the professionalism of your new dealer.

That has helped with those wanting to do trade ins certainly as the dealer has a list of people who are interested but cannot run to a brand new boat so putting them in touch has helped for definite.

The last boat I know to have sold was GBR177 which is around 3 1/2 years old and was for sale for £4,400 so a pretty good residual. Really early boats do go for less when they come up but don't hang around for long.

To be fair, it really would need to be for me to pay 20% VAT on another dinghy when decent second hand boats offer comparatively a lot more value.

... or perhaps when you get back from the Dinghy Show and need to start the conversation with your OH with the words "it was a once in a lifetime deal and we can take that holiday any time ...."
