looks like $400 is more than fair

If it's the newer one with the locking hatches and the slide rails, definitely. I'm only guessing here, but if it's not one of the newer ones it's probably still a good price. If it's in good condition and has accessories.

Someone posted a good suggestion for buying used yaks. Stick your head inside, if it smells stinky and moldy it probably has/had a leak. This is one I would definitely try before I buy. Where this gets tricky is if the person does a lot of surf launches where water can get inside the best yaks.

That was me that mentioned smelling the inside of the Kayak. Every time I am done with my kayak for the day I leave the bow hatch off to allow it to air dry just like all my tackle boxes and stuff. I recommend leak testing any used Kayak you are thinking of buying. The Kayak I have now is always dry inside when I get done. For $500 I bought a great kayak. Sounds like $400 is a great price on a Tarpon 140

$400 is more than fair for the 140 if it is in decent shape. They sell for $975 new. Check the keel for wear.

these are priced too high in my opinion. I tell people to expect to pay 1/2 the price of new on most kayaks that are in decent shape but obviously used.

Overpriced for the cobra and fair for the tarpon. Thanks for the heads up meeting the guy tomorrow.

If you like what you see, you should be able to get this for $350, cash in hand. I'd call that a good buy.
