Hi everybody. I have been buying and selling used Macs for a number of years. The thing that puzzles me is the wide variation in used Mac prices.
I have sometimes struggled to sell a used Mac due to the economic crash of 2008/9 and in the last two years due to lockdown.
That aside is the puzzling variations in used Mac prices ranging anywhere from £9000 to £26.000 !
My current Mac 26 X cost me over £30.000 in 2001 and is in very good condition - I don't really know what she is really worth.
They say a product is worth 'what the market will bear ' question is what will the market bear ?
The brokers tell me there is a shortage of second-hand boats ,so why to I struggles to get a decent price ?
For the record,
Swallow Yachts have new 26 foot trailer sailor priced at £56.000 before all the extra kit you usually need.
I am thinking of getting a motor home , even a two berth can cost typically cost £50.000 to £80.000 !
I would be interested in any observations Mac owners have. Regards David Phillips.

Haven't seen any 26 macs for less than £8000 in the last two years, most are around the £10.000 range for mid 90s to 2002 in alsorts of conditions good & bad. Compared to bigger sailing boats they are holding thire price well.
