nklr - boats? & buy sell & profit's

[mark ward]

The old adage is, "Buy when others are selling, SELL when others are buying. Christmas is over, BILLS COMING, Tax's are coming, People NEED money. I bought all my bikes, the boat etc. (summer toys) in the fall when others were thinking Storage and time is running out to sell, untill spring, MONTHS AWAY. And almost nobody is calling them to buy it, except you. (no-one to compete with) THEN SELL in season, Putting a forsale sign on it, and use it in the meentime. SUPPLY AND DEMAND Mark (mi.)
