So I see this Phantom 32 on yachthub through an agent and go to enquire about it within a day of it going up and get told it is sold and there is no chance the sale will fall through. 10 days later the same boat appears on Gumtree with an asking price $20,000 more.

Its called "flipping", normally in Real Estate but with the way boats prices are someone is trying to make a buck.

Either that or the agent totally misspriced and got swamped with enquiries and offers and has now upped the price.

Yes I agree with llanart, I doubt it is something shonky.

Having sold a boat just before Christmas it has certainly become a sellers market. There are plenty of people with cash and nowhere to go and spend it. Out on the water and on various social media groups shows the amount newbies coming onto the scene, and they are prepared to spend.....

Go and have a look at the Mottle 33 in Greenwell Point. I'm surprised it has not sold yet.
