Question on Used Mattress Cost

Our MkII boat came with the custom inter-spring two-part mattresses, but the aft cabin mattress was never used by the original owner (he used the V-berth and only used the boat as a floating apartment when in LA).  We also never used the aft cabin, except as an attic, and so the mattress has been siting in a closet wrapped in plastic the last 6 years.  To my knowledge, no one has ever slept on it.

My question for the group is:  assuming someone would be interested in this mattress, what is something like this worth?  I don't have any frame of reference.

Thanks,

Michael,

Have you considered calling Catalina and asking them what a new one would cost?  You can work from there.

I was looking to get a mattress made for my v-berth.  Got a budget quote between $600-700 based on how thick I want it.  Yours might be in the same range.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll follow up and then post something in the For Sale forum.

Just remember that some day you'll be selling this boat.  No aft cabin mattress could be a real deal breaker.

A good point Ken, and one that that made me stop to think.  But I'm not going to be using them anytime in the next 2-3 years and no longer have the ability to store them.
