This is a
1976 Pearson Sailboat, measuring 26' in length. About the boat, donor states: "Bought the boat in 1993 and sailed every summer through 2010.

Custom cushions in the salon and v-berth, water tank, head with a holding tank, 4 sails, all lines and hardware for the sails and the halyards on the mast are fairly new, new lifelines, tiller, gas tanks, batteries, anchor and the poppits (5 stands).
"
Please refer to the photos for a more accurate depiction of the boat. The photos were provided by the donor, and represent all of the pictures provided to ItsDonated. In the event the pictures do not show specific areas of the boat, bid for the worst but hope for the best.

DOCUMENTS AND PAPERWORK

The only documents included with purchase are those specified above. You will receive a "paid in full" invoice from ItsDonated upon full payment. Please plan accordingly if you require a bill of sale as one is not included unless otherwise stated.  We do not charge an additional document fee like other auctions for this reason.  In the event you need additional documents, ItsDonated will charge a fee particularly if notarization is necessary.  Documents will be made available at the time of pickup and in limited

PURCHASE PROCESS
The winning bidder will be immediately invoiced for the deposit through eBay which is due within 24 hours. The initial deposit is paid through eBay.
Following the deposit payment, the winning bidder will receive a separate invoice for the balance, which is due within 3 days of the close of auction. This invoice will be sent to your email address registered with eBay and will appear within 1 business day after deposit payment.  F
ailure to pay the balance on time will result in a late fee and/or possible cancellation of the auction.
The winning bidder will receive donor contact information once all funds have cleared (deposit, balance). PayPal payment is the only method of online payment and we prefer use of a credit card or Paypal balance (payment with an eCheck or other funds can cause undue delay).
Upon pickup, please inspect your purchase for any material differences between the listing information and the actual boat condition.  Moving the item OR putting Title/Registration documents in your name voids our refund policy (see "Local Pickup" and "No Warranty" sections in the terms and conditions below).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Do you charge any additional fees?
A:
ItsDonated does not charge any fees.  The final value is the price paid.
Q: What does "no reserve" mean?
A:
No reserve means the final bid is the winning bid.  Yes, boats do sell for the initial list price.
Q: Why is the deposit sometimes .00 less than the starting bid?
A:
ItsDonated charges a deposit on all boats. eBay Motors automatic invoicing system does not function correctly when the deposit amount matches the final bid. Accordingly, you will be able to pay the deposit directly through eBay, and we will invoice you for the remaining balance (yes, even when it's .00).
Q: Can you hold the boat longer than seven days?
A:
No. ItsDonated requires the winning purchaser to pick up the boat within seven days of auction close (unless otherwise noted above).
Q: Can I see the boat/inspect the boat/contact the marina before I win?
A:
No. In order to respect donor privacy, we do not provide any donor contact information to anyone except the winning bidder following payment.  This includes boat location, marina information, etc.  Additionally, the IRS rules that govern donated auctions require the transaction to occur at arms-length.  Accordingly, we cannot and will not provide any individual with more information or access over another prospective bidder.
Q: Can I pay with a check or cash when I pick up the item?
A:
No. ItsDonated only accepts payment through Paypal.  In limited circumstances ItsDonated will accept a money wire of funds. Please call if this is your preferred option.
Q: When is ItsDonated open?
A:
ItsDonated is located in California and is open Monday thru Friday from 9:00am to 4:00pm PST. ItsDonated is closed for all federally recognized holidays, which are listed above. All questions are generally answered the following business day.
Q: Can I Purchase a Vessel that is Not Local?
A:
We STRONGLY recommend only purchasing local items.
While you can purchase any of our vessel listings, local purchases allow you to see the boat before transporting and give you an opportunity to inspect the vessel without incurring substantial cost. Only personal
inspection
will qualify for a full refund.  Statements by marina employees and the like will not be accepted as valid
representations
of the vessel.  ItsDonated will not reimburse any costs or travel expenses associated with moving the boat (including but not limited to gas, lodging, purchase/rental of trailer, airfare, outside consultation, survey, etc.).
Q: Do you provide shipping?
A:
We do not provide shipping.  While we are not affiliated with any shipping companies, we recommend you contact KF Servicez LLC at (727) 424-4782 for transport costs.  They are DOT and MC licensed and all they do is move boats.  Give them a call or check out their website at www.kfservicez.com.  We strongly recommend purchasing local so you can personally inspect the boat because once you move the boat, it is yours and you will not receive any refund for any claims.  Please also check out
www.shipitweb.com
for alternate shipping options.
Q: What happens if the boat is not as described?
A:
If the winning bidder arrives and the condition of the boat is grossly different from the listing description, do not move the boat and do not take possession of any documents.  Take clear pictures of any discrepancies and message us the photos in full resolution through eBay.  We will not refund a deposit
without photos of the discrepancies (verbal statements will not suffice for a refund).
Marina
testimonies of a vessel are not acceptable.  Once you move the boat, it is yours (see terms and conditions).
Q: What happens if my payment is late?
A:
ItsDonated relies on your timely payment as does the donor.  Late payments will be subject to the filing of an unpaid item, relist of the vessel and/or an additional late payment fee.  ItsDonated understands unforeseen circumstances do occur so please call us if you are experiencing a payment issue.
