COBALT R5 SERIES

And to survive, we MUST look at where we are going to be in 5-10 years. It just got me to thinking about the market trends with the new buyers out there.Īs a business person, (which translates to a person who is utterly incapable or equipped to hold a job), I look at survival. The problem is the repo stuff is looking as good as the original, so you have to be careful. One of the things we see that is holding it's value and even going up is Oil and Gas Automobilia. Nobody will buy it anymore at an auction. You might as well throw that stuff in the trash. Personal collections, like salt shakers, lighters, nutcrackers, matchbooks. Young folks just don't have any interest in that stuff anymore. What folks used to collect (glassware, china, cookie jars, antiques of any kind, precious moments, Hummel, etc. it looks like they just moved in when they may have been living there 3 or 4 years.Īnd collections? Fahgetaboutit. No other chairs, no tables, no lamps, pictures on the wall. Have you been inside the homes of very many young people nowdays? It's not uncommon to walk into a living room with nothing but a couch and big screen. Old traditional tried and true methods and strategies are out the window, and new techniques are being used everyday. In the auction industry we are seeing a huge shift in the market trends with the buyers, from real estate and equipment, collector cars and automobilia all the way down to household estates. I completely agree with all of these points. Yt wants pink & purple stripes on his new 262 Let's bring back the baja colors of the 90's.lol Today, it's the older generation who are poor, and its the tech savvy younger generation who has and are willing to spend the big money for a boat.

It's the vertical lines of the R series that knock me out. I like the young stuff with the fast lines. I'm 58, but my tastes are caught in a time warp. People with money to spend are becoming very young, and Cobalt has no other choice than to offer something 'younger' looking. Very colorful, very fun looking and fast lines. Look at what the other boat builders are doing with styling. I think times are changing, and Cobalt is moving with it. I mean lawyer.who could afford top shelf when Cobalt was establishing a quality name for themselves. Cadillac Fleetwood-esq, fat wings making up the horizontal lines of the boat, the plaques on the side of the hull, built to attract the older generation like a Doctor, or a liar. Very distinctive and you know exactly what brand it is from a mile away.Ī classic fat ride on the water. I think the A series represents what Cobalt has always been after for a customer base.
