Why It Works
Why sellers find buyers faster on GOT ONE?
Buyers come to you with their requirements stated
Every buyer on GOT ONE? has posted what they want before you respond. They have listed their budget, their requirements and their timeline. You are not trying to attract interest — you are responding to interest that already exists.
Verified buyers only
GOT ONE? verifies buyers before they can post. This means fewer tyre-kickers and more genuine enquiries. When you respond to a buyer request, you are engaging with someone who has taken a step beyond casual browsing.
Free to respond — no commission
Unlike auction platforms and marketplace sites that charge listing fees or take commission on sale, GOT ONE? charges nothing to browse buyer requests or respond with your offer.
What To Include
What Boat buyers want to know when you respond
- List engine hours — buyers weight this heavily, especially for outboards over 100 hours
- State whether the trailer is registered and when the tyres and wheel bearings were last serviced
- Include all safety equipment and their expiry dates — flares, EPIRB registration date, life jackets
- Detail electronics: sounder model, chart plotter, VHF and any fishfinder transducer type
