I'm Trying To Contact A Seller Via This Website, But The Seller Will Not Respond, Can You Help?
No. We are unable to get involved in the buying process, including seller/buyer communications. Although we try hard to provide our users with every possible way to contact a seller (private or dealer), we cannot guarantee that the seller will reply to any request for more information. We suggest you try more than one way to contact a seller. If you email or use our online form to ask a question, follow up that request with a phone call.

I Visited A Dealership To View A Vessel I Found On This Website. After Talking To A Sales Person I Found Out That The Vessel Was Sold. Why Is This Vessel Still Online?
Showcase Publications, Inc. deals with thousands of dealers every week. It is impossible for us to know when a vessel has been sold and what inventory is still available on any given lot. It is up to the seller to provide us with all information needed to update their publication and online inventory. Please keep in mind that most sellers are very busy and do not have the time or resources to contact us every time they sell a vessel. Most sellers wait until the next publication release to update their inventory. We highly suggest that you contact the seller before visiting the location of any vessel for sale.

I Found A Vessel Online With The Features And Price I Was Looking For. When I Arrived At The Dealership, The Vessel Had A Different Price And Features. Why?
Although we try hard to make sure that all of the information in print and online is correct, errors do occur. Neither Showcase Publications, Inc. nor our advertisers are responsible for typographical errors, mistakes, or misprints, including but to limited to, pricing errors, individual ad disclaimers, finance options, or an incorrect statement of features and/or accessories of a particular vessel. To the extent permitted by applicable law. Always consult with the seller (dealer or private) over such terms, including price, dealer fees, tax, tag, title, etc. before visiting the location of any vessel for sale or making your final purchasing decision. If you would like to report a vessel with incorrect information, please contact us and we will investigate the vessel in question. Please include all information about the vehicle including the make, keyword (model), year, name of the dealership or seller, city, state and zip code.
