Under pressure from ranchers, Gov. Dirk Kempthorne and
other conservatives, Rod Sando resigns from his position as
director of Idaho's Department of Fish and Game.
President-elect George W. Bush has nominated former
Colorado Attorney General Gale Norton to head the Interior
Department, and some environmentalists are worried about her ties
to industry.
His choices of Gale Norton for Interior Secretary and John
Ashcroft for Attorney General show that George W. Bush has already
abandoned bipartisanship.
Supporters call Mark Rey, Bush's nominee for
undersecretary of Agriculture for Natural Resources and the
Environment, a forest management expert, but wary environmentalists
liken him to Darth Vader and Machiavelli.
Environmentalists adopt the conservative strategy of
working to derail the nomination of federal judges whom they fear
could harm their cause.
If outgoing Interior Secretary Gale Norton didn't
receive a push out the door, she certainly deserved one after her
involvement in the sleazy Jack Abramoff scandal
Newly appointed Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne has a
chance to use his deal-making abilities to bring change to the way
Western public lands are managed
Quote by Wyoming Attorney General Patrick Crank
The writer sees political leadership emerging from the
West, a region disdained by the Eastern establishment.
The writer thanks Gale Norton for inspiring Westerners to
form a new kind of coalition

1.88/5 rDev -44.4%
I'm a glutton for punishment! After having not learned my lesson with their revolting Seriously Bad Elf, I'm here again with their Nut Browned Ale.
Appearance: Pours a clearish, amber-hued body with a small, spotty, white head.
Smell: Sweetish nose of dissolved table sugar with a curiously medicinal, cidery note dosed with a dreary, lone drop of nut flavoring. Quite unappetizing, I must say.
Taste: Sugary sweetness tempered only by a shot of low-grade apple cider and hooch and artificial nut flavoring. Seems oddly warming and boozy for having only 6% ABV listed on the label. Ghastly, near-hot finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Bleh! Okay, this time I really, honestly, truly do mean it -- no more of these vile Ridgeway Horrors of Christmas beers. I turned away from friends and family on Christmas Day to abuse myself with this mess? Jesus!

Pours brown to dark amber with thin white head that doesn't last.
Nose is very weak, with some slight fruitiness. Nothing that would suggest a nut brown ale.
Palate is disappointingly thin, thin bodied, light malt, light toasted flavors.
This is pretty much what you would expect if A-B made a brown ale. It's a watery, near flavorless example of the style.

Pours a dirty yellow/brown with a white head. The aroma is not good, reminding me of an English Brown Ale mixed with an American Macro Lager. The flavor is about like the aroma, with some butty character and some bitter English hops. Thin mouthfeel and highly carbonated. Avoid this one.

Nice 1/2 liter bottle with typically good artwork from Ridgeway.
Pours a nice, clear, tea (tannin) color, clear with a very sparse head. No lace.
Smell is barely present. Light roasted malts, hops and a sour note.
Taste some roast malt, hints of smoke, sourness, caramel, a slight nuttiness with some alcohol coming late. All much fainter than expected or desired.
A decent hop bite early, warming later, but watery throughout. This beer promised a lot ("a brown ale with real attitude") but delivered naught. I consider the $6 spent money wasted.

On draft into a pint
A- light in color for its style. Small head but good retention. Minimal lacing
S- little to note here, Disappoonting
T- straw, hay, mild malts but not what I'd expect from the style. Mild and average.
M- good carbonation, decent mouthfeel, pretty full
O- weak and lacking the normal characteristics of the style. Tastes more like an American adjunct lager. Pass

pours clear an amber shade of honey stained maple with a soft white head.
the nose is very floral... kinda reminds me of the generic vodka. also, it's toasty with notes of some grass, nuts and caramel grains.
there's sweet apple maybe grape juice in the flavor which makes me think of cheap malt liquor... some hints of grass, noble hops, flowers and caramel with some sort of artificial taste finishing up. it's quite floral and booze laden with a tiny bit of bitterness throughout. . light to medium body is sticky on the palate.

pours a clear amber with a small off-white head, good lacing.
smell is faint, some spice, some nuts, and just a touch of caramel.
taste is watery, somewhat nutty, slight bitter and dry ending.
overall a below average brew, the worst one out of a variety 4-pack.

A-Thin light tan head on a clear amber brown body.
S- Big malts with kind of a nut smell too. Grassy hops also come through too. Smells kind of old like stale beer.
T- Kind of watery. Has a good helping of malts. It has metal or something strange in it. Some nuts also. Hops help balance it all out. Leaves a hop bitterness in mouth along with a nut and metal taste. Almost taste like a stale beer.
M- Very low carbonation. Medium to thin body.
D- Don't like it at all. Glad I am sharing this bottle.

2.65/5 rDev -21.6%
Appearance: Clear deep amber in color, with a large, moderately coarse white head, which gradually subsides to a thin layer of foam, with thin, glass-coating lace.
Aroma: Quite sweet, with vinous and earthy notes, and herbal hops. The aroma is quite uncharacteristic of the style.
Taste: Bitter cocoa and earthy notes dominate the taste from the open. As the taste progresses, harshly bitter, lingering herbal hop notes appear. Along the way, there is also a peculiar bitter apple note. Little or none of the toasted malts for which the style is notable are present.
Mouth feel: Fairly soft, pleasant.
Drinkability/notes: Warm Welcome seems wildly off style, and is not particularly pleasant to drink. It proved difficult to finish.
Presentation: Packaged in a sixteen-ounce brown glass bottle with a pop-off crown, served in a standard pint tap glass.

A decent nut brown ale, though on the light end of the taste and mouthfeel spectrum.
Some maple syrup, nutmeg, and cream cheese with some caramel sweetness and walnut flavors. A carbonation that reminds me of ginger ale and the consistency of pumpkin bread, though a lot thinner.
A pear touch on the tongue with a little bit of cinnamon. Consistent throughout, but a little dry on the back end, rolling into a soft, creamy finish, with the exception of the lack of body.

2.75/5 rDev -18.6%
More amber than brown, and murky looking. Moderately carbonated, but head retention isn't great.
The nose has a strong green apple note, along with caramelized malt and faint buttered toast.
It tastes a little better than it smells, with a strong caramel malt backbone that covers up the acetaldehyde. It's not toasty enough for a brown ale, it's more like an amber with an overly fruity and buttery yeast profile. The finish is malty and slick, void of bitterness. This isn't awful, but it's not particularly enjoyable either.

poured from 500ml bottle into pint glass
A-bronze colored with about a finger of head that faded to a partial cap with a little lacing
S-a little carmel and some earthy hints like wet leaves
T-some milk chocolate along with carmel with a mild hop on the finish
M-light bodied and carbonation
O-this is and ok beer and really no better than average it falls just a little short

Hmm, "nut browned" ale seems suspicious, like that Lienenkugel Nut Brown with "natural flavors".
Far lighter in color than I expected. This is not brown at all, it's amber...not even dark amber, so it's not a tranditional english brown ale afterall.
As far as nuttiness, not getting any in the aroma, just some grainy wood. Malt is a bit caramel in its profile.
The nut does come into the aftertaste, but it's a background note. This is just a light english pale ale in my book, malt forward, without anything christmassy about it. I actually have a similar review for their 'bad elf' beer. What has this to do with winter/xmas?
Mouthfeel is thin for a brown, but pretty spot on for an english pale. Some creamy smoothness.
It's drinkable and all, just their marketing department seems to be a few steps ahead of the brewing. I put quality ahead of graphics anyday.
Also, there's a Santa on the label? Why? What winter warmer flavors in here make me want to drink this during christmas/winter?

I poured this nondescript beer into my tumbler 40 degrees, the beer was a nice amber color and thats about it. The beer poured a really small flat head. The beer was bitter on the finish and weak tasting really. Really don't see any need to buy again.

This Warm Welcome ended up not being such a warm welcome to my taste buds.
In my perfect pour glass it was a pretty dark amber color with a small amount of head and light carbonation. The aroma had a bit of almond to it. The taste was nuts and somewhat earthy, as in, dirt. It had just this kind of dirty taste that I found off-putting. It finished it begrudgingly because I didn't want to waste that much money. This will not be a repeat buy.

A- Deepstraw with an off-white head; very clear
S- Malt with a slight aroma of cheese (?) and nut
T- Some malt and herb flavors; not as sweet as expected; there is a touch of bitterness, especially in the finish, a bit surprising for the style
MF- Quite thin, low carbonation
D- Fine for a taste, but I'll not go looking for it.

500ml poured into a a pint glass
A: Dark, but clear, copper color. A half finger, bubbly, off white head appears at first, then removes it self quickly.
S: Malts with some light roasted character and nuts. Has a slight metallic, penny-like smell in the end.
T: Pretty average. Its got some bready malts with a very slight hint of nuttiness to it. Hops are kind of surprising, as they put a light, but noticeable, bitterness on the end. The flavor does roam, so you can enjoy it until your next drink.
M: Medium body that feels flat. Brings no "life" to this beer, which it could use.
D: Not bad. Everything was pretty average, except for the mouthfeel, which could have used some work.I didn't expect much and I didn't get much, but It wasn't bad. I wouldn't tell the world about it, nor would I buy it again, but if you hand me one, I wouldn't complain.

Never seen this before so I picked up a bottle. Pours a light brown color with a very thin head. Aroma is nice and malty like a standard brown ale. Taste is somewhat nutty and bitter at the same time on the tongue. Aftertaste is much of the same. The maltiness just doesn't show through as much. I would say that I've had better brown ales than this. Not bad but I wouldn't rate it highly either.

Agglomeration Effects and the Competition for Firms
AbstractA two-region economy consists of a given but different number of immobile workers in each region, and a given number of mobile firms. Firms create jobs where they locate, but there is frictional unemployment. Two sorts of agglomeration effects arise: those from economies of scale in matching, and those from production economies external to the firm. Regions may either be part of a unitary state in which case all regional policies are decided by the central government, or they may be part of a federal state in which case some policies are determined by the regional governments. We characterize the resource allocations in both a unitary and a federal state, and identify the set of instruments that are required to replicate the social optimum in each state.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Monday's snow postponed some major lane closures in downtown Peoria, but only until Tuesday.
Starting Tuesday at 6 a.m. all but one lane of traffic on North-East Jefferson St. between Hamilton and Main Street will be closed.
This is so a crane can lift equipment onto the building at first financial plaza.
All lanes should be re-opened after five p-m.

Jesse Crain an All Star relief pitcher was one of the Astros prized free agent acquisitions, the only problem was the team singed him after not pitching since July. Crain last season suffered an injury that ultimately lead to him having surgery. Crain just this week has started to pick up a baseball and start throwing again (not pitching). "It's healed and everything, it's more about getting that arm strength back and getting comfortable throwing again" Crain said. The consensus is the closing job on the teams is Crain's to have, the question is when will Crain be able to contribute.
"I'd love to be able to get in to a game or two towards the end of Spring Training" Crain also mentioning that is a goal of his during Spring Training and he'd be surprised if he could do anymore. Crain would not give a date on when he will be back and if he will be ready for opening day but did mention he hopes it will May at the latest. The Astros could use a healthy Crain no matter where in the bullpen he lands, because when healthy Crain has proved to be a top flight reliever in baseball.

Latest POP Yachts Complaint
A Bucket Shop Operation - Where Is The Water
By: TRADE-A-YACHT.COM
Reported Loss = $25,000.00
Agents sneak into marinas and show boats to customers while knowing that they are trespassing and have no license to be on the property.
They also take legitimate listings from marinas and pirate the sale.
Agents are not licensed brokers- usually from another state and once the money changes hands they fade into the sunset- buyer stuck with sales tax-no title and no place to keep the boat. They go into a hole.

Consumer Comments For POP Yachts
- Paul
"George" very clearly works for POP. His defense of POP hits all the points of their "pitch." Next time someone from POP contacts you, ask them if they're members of the Yacht Brokers Association of America (YBAA). They are not because they do not want to have to subscribe to YBAA's Code of Ethics. As for their tagline about "we don't get a dime unless your boat sells," nobody in the brokerage world gets paid unless they sell your boat. POP is widely known for their unethical practices. Steer clear.
- Mark
I called POP on a boat but found its better to email. Kevin Stigal is the broker and has been very professional and diligent on this deal. He is out of state but set up a showing within less than a week and followed up with emails if i had anymore questions. We made an offer and it came back with a counter within an hour and the deal was made. Seller and myself sigined via esign, wired the deposit and we wait till sea trial and survey…. hopfully to an AOV.
I will repost after closing.
- Mark
Castaway !! that's what we should do with these IDIOTS. Yes, the employees do post on this and every boating thread pretending to be happy with the service. Let me ask you this: I was contacted by a Mark Evans who told me my 46′ Bertram/ twin diesels , 8-71s, 231 hours, was priced waaaay too much for the market, and if I came down $85,000.00 Maybe he could get it sold. My wife & I bought this boat BRAND NEW, and now we are looking to sell to purchase a 92′ Hargrave. This Mark character, after much going back and forth, called me a " Douche Bag " who doesn't know what I'm talking about. I believe that if we can afford a new custom Hargrave (2012) maybe we should take this idiot and leave him on Gilligan's Island.
- http://www.popyachts.com Mark Evans
Sorry to hear about someone at our company calling you a DB but it was not me. I am Mark Evans with POP Yachts and I have never referred to anyone as a DB. You might have spoken with one of our sales staff, i do not even discuss pricing with sellers.
I tried to find your boat in our system but can't and you do not use your full name so I can back check and make sure this is looked into.

You may as well go on ebay…if you submit a price and it is accepted (on their fancy agreement that is digitally signed) akin to toilet paper in effectiveness , then you are advised it was sold to someone that had a different broker for a higher price. Screw you Art and the POP you work for.
- john Burke
I listed two boats with POP Yachts inorder to meet their minimum of 25K. They were still going to charge the minimum for commission at $2500 per boat. When I ask for some negotiation on 16.6% and 20% rates they would not commit to a lower rate. Which put me in a position of not know how to pric my boat to recover their commission.
They secured one agreement only to have the buyer back out. They then lost a second buyer because they would not budge on the commission. They also trashed the boat to the buyer telling him that I would lily take several thousand less.
They have a good marketing idea but the salesmen and sales managers area bunch of incompentants .
- Sunny
Ahh Pop Yachts where to begin , from the idiots in the office and the central listing brokers right down to the brokers, the customers lolol. They all call themselves "captains" too funny.If you are a buyer plan on paying more than at your local boat yards.Plan also on total incompetence inside their "closing department"Lots of infighting,
If you are stupid enough to work for them, (the turnaround is incredible).It is a revolving door.Promising you 6 figures a year.they have a few of the owners buddy's who get all the good leads and do make 75k.But the rest outside of Florida get scraps.Plan on working 70 hours a week.You will be paid 300 -600 on a closing.You will be using many many gallons of gas showing boats that no one wants.
They have a small core of uneducated "managers" who try to brainwash you into believing you are going to sell many boats.They have 150 revolving door brokers trying to get the scraps from the central office Florida brokers.
The customers suffer, the sellers begin to hate them lololol..it is just too funny.They advertise on craigslisy constantly for down on their luck individuals.
very funny stuff
- nostradamus
pop yachts in my first hand experience and opinion are nothing short of the biggest bunch of lying flea bags on the planet I am very surprised the principals have not been keel hauled or given the deep six on the end of a cement block . unconscionables had me drive 8 hours to view a boat which I was told would run , it had battery problems the battery charger malfunctioned and the boat would not turn over .i later learn the boat had not run for months and had carb problems and a list of other hic cups a foot deep. the boat is now listed for 26,000 and again for 56,000 by pop yachts please figure that one out. and with twin 8 cylinder gas engines burned a gallon of fuel per mile at cruise from Chicago to key west. the boat is now being picked and is probably over priced at $2500.00 another example of pop yachts integrity is when a boat sells the selling price is rarely if ever shown its usually the original asking price that's shown as the price it sold for. LAY ON MACBETH
- Carl
I keep getting unwanted emails from these jerks. I have my boat posted on Craigslist, which, I know, is not the greatest place to try to sell a boat. But at least is free and you don't have to deal with idiots that CAN'T READ. What part of "it IS NOT ok to contact this poster with other commercial interests." does Popyachts not understand? I see all the above complaints and agree that one should NEVER list their boat with a "broker" like popyachts. I am turning my yacht over to a reputable local broker to sell my yacht. I am reasonably sure these are the knuckleheads that send "paypal scam" emails daily.
- Chris
I currently have a boat listed with POP yachts, is it frustrating….yes. #1 this economy doesn't support selling a boat easilty, nor does the banks in providing loans for those who want to buy. POP yachts does charge 10% or $2500, but look at the marketing involved. I did have some issues initially with a revolving door of brokers, but my current broker actually came, took about 30 pictures and made a you tube video.
My only issue thus far is the broker not being available at showings because of location. They do have some brokers that will show the boat, and yes, they don't know the vessel the way they should. Unfortunately when it comes to having employees in remote locations, its difficult for a company to manage or be made aware of their short comings. Instead of complaining on a website they may not read, contact their director of operations. I did, and my issue was resolved promptly.
Go to your local marina sales office and see what they charge for commission. It may only be 5%, but are they posting in multiple areas online, or are they relying on foot traffic casue your boat is parked on a trailer with a for sale sign taped to it?
- Jon Schubert
POP Yachts is a complete joke. In order to see the photos they have posted you have to SIGN UP with them. What? Why would a seller want to make it more difficult for a purchaser to view photos of their boat? Is this confidential information. No. POP is a scam. I emailed them to tell them how I felt about their system and they continue to send me harassing emails and in one called me a Scam buyer. How professional. I will never deal with this company, and, as I told them in my email this morning, I will flag everyone of their ads i see on Craigslist.
- Mark
Hi Jon,
I totally agree with you. I had my 42′ Post listed on Clist, and these idiots emailed me at least a dozen times a day. When I finally replied to them to STOP emailing me, a Mark Evans called me a ' Douche Bag " and said he hoped my boat sank….How very professioal.

Very interesting to see Mr. Dealer and his comments, I agree with "unbelievable people" he is an IDIOT of the first class variety… From what I read he about sums up the poor level of professionalism that comes from this scum bag company….POP Yachts really is a joke and while their staff keep commenting like this they continue to make themselves look even more stupid… so keep it up POP Yachts and you should slip out of business with natural wastage, the sooner the better….

POP yachts will go from selling 430 boats last year to at least 900 boats year. We are growing because we are reputable and professional.
- OceanShipper
A company with THAT many sales staff should be selling more boats than that. Company started off with a good idea, but owner Scott just turned into a greedy SOB
- Dave
Owner Scott "just" turned into a greedy SOB…. There is no JUST here……Maybe you should look at the $10 Million DEBTS he and his bother left in the real estate market last time they ran this scam… same scam, same attitude, just boats now and not houses, Google Todd McNally and Scott McNally….. Many lost thousands to the McNally's!
- Jer Fal
I have tried to purchase a boat thru POP and the agent stated, "do not discuss price with the seller" REALLY? RED FLAG, RED FLAG, RED FLAG, Seems NOW, the seller is leaving town and cannot show the boat, REALLY, AGAIN? Me thinks POP has huge problems and I agree with above commenter, "I SEE POP, I RUN."
- Barbara
Pop Yachts contacted me several times to list my boat, I finally did. Nothing, not even 1 showing, my boat is Seattle, I now decided to replace 1650 hr engines and cancelled contract. They accepted my cancellation, but send me alllllll the names that looked at their site and want their commission, if I sell to 1 of the names listed. This is a completly different boat since the rebuilds. I wrote to them but no answer, I send this E-mail to Jacob Jewett, the rep in Seattle area, no answer. Now I am getting legal advise, WHY WONT THEY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
- dma
I worked for pop yachts for a couple weeks. I was told several lines of bull crap about how the job worked etc. The put in this great new system etc. I was told the average listing agent was listing 50-70 boats a month and that was before the great new system. Only one rep had made close to that and the only one who made bonus. I couldn't get into the system for a week due to their incompetence. Adam Koenigsberg lives in a dream world about this job. If you have three months to work for little or no paycheck then go ahead but I opted out. I have turned around companies by raising sales, broken records that have stood for over 20 years. I have been around the block and I won't work for these people.
- 50 year boater
I have been looking at boats for more than 6 months and every boat they have listed is at least 25% over book value, I just ignore ant boat with there name, which sure **** is not in the sellers best interest.
- rjr
I'm calling BS on Willie, Dave, and the other brokers posting as buyers in here. Bottom line, POP does something they refuse to do….. they DO NOT CHARGE any fees to the seller to list and sell their vessels NO MONEY is exchanged unless that Boat sells, period. If you have been able to hustle unknowing sellers that don't want the hassle of dealing with 50 phone calls etc into giving you upfront money, and a company comes along and asks for nothing other than a few minutes to properly and professionally list their Boat throughout the world, on over 100 sites, you'd be looking for any way you could to discredit them too. The actuality is, POP does 10 times more, and doesn't charge a cent unless they do their job and sell your Boat for you. YEAH.. that's a bad deal.. PA-LEASE!
- John, NC
POP Yachts Venture is just that. It was a novel idea but has quickly become a scam. I am a successful yacht broker. My commission is included in the sales price. POP adds 10% onto the price for their commission. As I understand it, from calling on a few of their listings, most have NEVER seen the boat they are representing and have no idea of what it takes to sell a boat. It is not just the sale. It also includes market research, keeping the seller informed of market trends, arranging sale, survey and sea trial, answering questions pertaining to taxes, escrow accounts etc. Anyone can sell a boat but it takes a real broker to do it well. My brokerage is the largest in the USA and we will not do business with POP Yachts.
- Amy
So Mr. Peterson are you saying that if a PopYacht broker brought you an offer from a qualified buyer, you would not present it to your seller? Interesting.
- Mark
Amy, if thats your real name? You spell POPYachts like all the other employees from that company who continuously email me about my boats. I am a private seller who buys nice boats for pennies on the dollar ( Distressed owners )
I bought 9 last month and have already sold 6 of them. Funny thing Amy? I very rarely see the boat. I hire a college to look & email me pics. I will not any furthur as what else we do, but I do very well for myself, and I only work about 10 jours a week.
- Mr. Dealer
Stop your all your wining !!!! Look, you are all upside down in your Boats …. I have been in the Marine Business for over 40+ Years… You wanted a dream and now can afford it now.. You Paid to much and now you want to b***h about the Yacht Broker that is really trying to help you and make some money to pay their bills, Make thier company Profitable. Stop Your F— b******g. Let them Sell Your Boat or Sell it Your Self. You all should be in Washington. With all the other Bull s**t. I worked for this company for 3+ Years They work there **** off for everyone and sell everything they can….. At the best price for all ……. Stop b******g …… Sell your own Boat and deal with all the Bull s**t that goes with it. Or let POP Yachts Sell it for you… I bet you can't get your Wife, Girl friend to wire you a CHECK and Wire it to you in one day …….. Stop b******g…..
- p***k que
ur full of **** u are still an employee there trying to cover ur **** seen this **** thousands of times
- unbelievable people
You are one complete and total IDIOT, no one in the maritime market would ever write anything like what you have. To tell the truth, if there are this many comments as derogitory as this I could bet that dealing with this company is a very bad idea. And you should really expand your vocabulary, 40+ years in a business and have no class at all, a true tribute to the company you protect.
- Ernie Bilco
Wow – you sound just like a Sarasota scammer – are you the chief thief?
- Dave
POP Yachts are a joke, no one knows anything about the boats they have hijacked from CL. I tried to buy from them last year and gave up in the end…. I would never let anyone from POP Yachts near my boat? Has anyone checked out who owns this scum bag company?
- 14Freedom
Selling my 43′ Viking and was contacted REPEATEDLY. They DO NOT LISTEN, their "internet marketing specialist" could not answer basic questions RE: banking escrow, professional affiliations etc. and became INDIGNANT. She actually asked if I was from NY! (no offense).
Contacted again though Clist (same as above terms of use), even took my pics from Clist (last August) and started a preliminary listing on their web-site!!!
They also want 11% Commission.
I may report to State of Florida AG's office for business practices.
PS-I'm no schmoe…25 plus years on yachts to 140" I know of what I speak.

I not only worked for them but wanted them to list my boat – had 3 Internet Reps email me – never followed up. This compay is a joke and touts their great lead system. A lead to me is someone who is really interested – not a phone call their phone system forwards to you at 2 AM. Or if someone emails you at 4 AM and you don't respond in 30 minutes you lose the lead.
Watch the Their Team page to check out the high turnover.

I have a business idea that I would like to discusswith an honest trustworthy Yachtbroker.
- George
Of course they are persistent and sometimes even a little annoying, but that's the nature of aggressive salespeople. Isn't that what sellers are really looking for in a broker? And of course they add their fee onto what the seller wants to net from the sale. How else are they supposed to make a profit? Do they provide a benefit that justifies the fee? Of course they do. Selling your boat today is all about getting maximum exposure and that exposure costs money. It doesn't matter how competitively you've priced your boat If nobody knows about it. The bottom line is quite simple; the more people that see your boat, the faster it will sell and at a higher price. Companies like POP Yachts advertise their clients boats on virtually every web site that promotes boats. The great thing is that they don't care if you sell your boat yourself. You only pay them if they bring you a buyer that nets you what you want out of the sale. There isn't really a downside to their concept. Actually, I buy and sell boats for a living and I list all of my boats on POP yachts as well as market them myself. I tell them what I have to get and they add their fee on top. If I sell the boat myself, which is usually the case, I just call them and tell them to cancel the listing and that's that. Trust me, if they are real close to making a deal they will trim their fee to make it happen rather than walk away from a commission. Hey, if you want to know who the real thieves are take a close look at your bank fee statements or cell phone bills. At least companies like POP Yachts don't get paid unless they perform to every ones satisfaction. Think about it.
- david
Dont buy anything from this company they are just incresing the price of a boat that you can find in craiglist for less
- Bill Tait
This review is keeping me from pursuing a sales position with pop yachts.com. When the company doesn't bother to respond, I find it incriminating.
- Jeff
I have deal with POP Yachts and they are probably the most serious and honorable yacht brokers in the market.
I purchased my yacht from them and they are very profesionals.
- Willie
All they do is take Craigslist ads or Boattrader Ads, up the price by 20% and re-list them- often with the same pictures. I have heard of them doing this without the seller's permission to solicit an offer and hopefully get their commission (pretty slimey). I have called on two of their boats and they do not know basic things like the hours (4 stroke motors w/ digital gauges), exact location of the boat or if there is a trailer or loan on/with the boat. Run away as fast as you can.
- Cheryl
I can tell you that my husband works for POP and that is absolutely not the case and he works 24/7, unlike most boat brokers. He picks up the phone at any time of the day. He may not immediately have every detail on every boat in his head, but he is timely in getting back to buyers and sellers on details needed. The difference is that, unlike other brokers, they acrtually have a large repository of brokerage boats, not just a handful.
- Peter C.
When they called me in Baltimore after I posted on C/L , explained how they work, no real obligation to them unless they sell and I always had the ability to sell it myself or via the boat yard for sale. I wanted 25K , not a dime less. I signed the agreement over Adobe program. They found a buyer, the buyer sent in a marine surveyor, he surveyed , ten set up a sea trial, all passed, we signed all necessary paperwork confirming everything, buyer wired transferred the full amount, and as of now, I am awaiting PoP's transfer into my account. If all goes well with that , buyer picks up Friday. So from Monday to Friday, boat was looked at, sold and will be paid for hopefully. Will update if I remember. All went perfect and all were very professional.

Bill,how long have you been a broker for?

main index
Some written works feature a consistent Point of View: namely, through the eyes of The Protagonist. Other works throw in additional protagonists and pass the POV around to present each of their respective views on the transpiring events. Sometimes, however, a single main character (usually the one with the most ambiguous/mysterious motivation) is conspicuously denied POV and their impact upon the plot is only ever seen through the eyes of co-protagonists. This character is the Non P.O.V. Protagonist of the book. The main purpose of the trope is to create dramatic tension. When a the story is told from the perspective of a character, readers become very familiar with him or her, and can make some predictions as to their feelings and reactions. When a the story does not give the perspective of a character, readers are left peering in, wondering just what is going through that person's head. That can be quite a tense experience if said character is The Chosen One, the Big Bad, or even just a Supporting Leader who will nonetheless be making decisions that the narrator characters have to live with. Due to the nature of the medium, this is primarily a literary trope, though media closely related to literature may also use it. Related tropes (that often accompany this) include Supporting Protagonist, a POV-character who is a protagonist, just not the "main-main" one; and First-Person Peripheral Narrator, a narrator character who isn't a protagonist. In those terms, this trope describes a "main-main" protagonist who isn't a POV-character.

Oh, Don't Stay After Ten
I've something sad to say to you
And when he come again
To meet in the evening
And don't stay after ten.
Oh, don't stay after ten, my dear
Oh, don't stay after ten
But come again my darling
And don't go home at ten.
And when he comes again (and stays)
(They say) and don't go home why then
They'll just step in and ask him out
If he don't go home at ten.
For after ten the moments fly
I tremble o'er and o'er
When mama to the dark spot
Comes peeping through the door.
To the breakfast table next morning I'll go
And papa will frown on me,
And say my daughterthat beau of yours
Is going to hear from me.

FOX 45 Helps Beavercreek Couple's Moving Nightmare
BEAVERCREEK -- FOX 45 helped a couple fight back after they said a moving company tried scamming them out of thousands of dollars.
Last week, we told you about the MacInerneys, who just moved here from Maryland. A moving company called North American Masterline initially quoted the couple $2,600. But later, they jacked up the price to nearly $7,000, claiming the couple had more furniture than they thought.
The MacInerneys reached out to us and we checked with the Better Business Bureau and discovered the moving company is not accredited.
"We let the moving company know the TV lady was talking to them on the phone, and we finally got an agreement that they would deliver our furniture," Michael MacInerney says.
This afternoon all of their furniture was delivered.
Michael hopes people will learn from his mistakes and always do research on a company before signing any papers or giving any money.

Beavercreek Couple's Moving Nightmare
BEAVERCREEK -- A Beavercreek couple says a moving company is holding their belongings hostage until they pay their bill that's $3,000 dollars more than its original estimate.
Mary Ann MacInerney and her husband have to sit on the floor and fold out chairs in their living room, because they are still without furniture after their move from Maryland to Ohio.
"The original quote was just in excess of $2,600 dollars to move all of our stuff and we considered it reasonable," said Mary Ann MacInerney.
Her husband Michael went online and typed in North American Movers, North American Masterline popped up and he thought it was a reputable company.
"I was scammed. I know I was scammed and I know I'm still being scammed," said Michael MacInerney.
The MacInerneys say once the movers came out to their home in Maryland that original quote jumped to nearly $7,000. When we called North American Masterline to find out why, the company representative told us items the family counted as one were taken apart and then counted into pieces.
"238 items, that's where the extra charges came from they had a lot more boxes than anticipated," said Pauline Tomich, a company service representative.
However, the MacInerneys still can't fathom why those extra items totaled thousands of dollars more, they know something is not adding up.
"Have they done this to other military people, I don't know but I am....some people may say they feel violated certainly I feel sad but I am infuriated that they will do this to veterans," said Mary Ann MacInerney.
We checked with the Better Business Bureau and the company isn't accredited. It has a B- rating and more than ten complaints this year alone.
The company debited $3,100 from the MacInerney's checking account, but says until it receive the full payment, they won't deliver their furniture.
"So I've paid over 3,800 dollars to this company and I'm not sure where my furniture is," said Michael MacInerney.

Credit cards are a great lifestyle convenience. But if you were to become sick or injured and can't work or suddenly lose your job, that debt could quickly get out of control.
Having Credit Card Repayment Protection helps cover your repayments, so you'll have one less thing to worry about.
Of course, like all insurance, some exclusions, limits and conditions apply. For example, if you voluntarily resign or accept a voluntary redundancy you aren't covered for job loss. Also, if you were not working at least 15 hours or more per week when you became unfit for work, you will not be covered.
1 Please note: An exclusion applies for sickness, injury or disease occurring within 180 days of the commencement date for which you sought or obtained medical advice or treatment during the 180 days prior to the commencement date.
