Where to look for the used sailboat?

[Severin]

Hi everybody,I'm in the beginning of my search for the used (about 20+ years old) sailboat(in Midwest area, preferably on Lake Michigan), but somehow I feel that I'mmissing main sources. All I'm looking so far is BUCNET.COM, some other places on the web and simply waking through several marinas in Chicago area. It looks like BUCNET is the place if you want to buy through an agent and walking through the marinas does not bring a lot of results. I'd say I'm more interested in "for sale by owner" type adds (by the way, I think I'm going to save some $$ going this way, is it correct?). Are there any other places you could suggest?Thanks for the help.Severin.

Its not the "for sale by owner" but at least you'll see whats out there and get good comparisons. And you can create a custom search to fit what your looking for.  The only one who saves money in the "for sale by owner deal" is the owner.....Good luck!
