scarcasm doesn't bother me. as far as buying an ad, you said that a classified on this web site is free, and that it is printed ads in the magazine that cost $10. again, i was not trying to advertise the boat for sale. assuming i was wanting to advertise the boat, the problem with posting an ad is that you have to know how much the boat is worth before you post the ad. as far as the ultimate purpose of the post, what if the ultimate purpose is to decide if you want to sell something?
