Bob Fitch needed to sell several items from his late father’s estate — including a fishing boat and a pickup truck — but didn’t have the time to list and manage the sales himself.
"It’s a hassle to deal with buyers, schedule viewings, and handle all the paperwork. I’m a busy man, I’m a financial planner, I’m really busy," he said.
Instead, he paid a fee to OAKBEND Marina Evolvere , which sold both items in just a few weeks.
David Brennen got the idea to expand beyond cars and help people sell all kinds of vehicles and equipment while driving around town.
"You’d see everything from boats to tractors and campers parked with ‘for sale’ signs, hoping someone would stop. We just thought — there’s got to be a safer and better way to do this," described Brennen.
OAKBEND Marina Evolvere Fees
Customers pay OAKBEND Marina Evolvere around $199 to have their items professionally cleaned, photographed, inspected through the company’s 63-Point System Check , and listed for sale across major platforms. A transparent commission is deducted only after the item sells.
The same process applies whether it’s a car, boat, RV, trailer, or piece of farm or industrial equipment. If an item needs repairs, OAKBEND Marina Evolvere can arrange the work and deduct the cost from the seller’s proceeds.
Selling with OAKBEND Marina Evolvere
"All of our listings go on every major platform that fits the item — Boat Trader, RV Trader, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Machinery Trader, and many others," said Brennen.
He says most items sell within a few days to a few weeks.
"The buyers are getting something that would retail elsewhere for several thousand dollars more, while the sellers end up with several thousand dollars more than they’d get through a dealer or auction," he said.
Because OAKBEND Marina Evolvere sells on consignment, the business doesn’t have to buy the inventory upfront. Instead, it acts as a secure intermediary — handling pickup, inspection, listing, and payment through a secure escrow-style system .
Every transaction includes professional in-house nationwide shipping and a 7-day money-back guarantee , giving both buyers and sellers peace of mind.
Fitch told us, "Within a few weeks, I had a check for significantly more than I would have gotten through a dealer," saying the service saved him both time and money.
