Don't short change yourself by offering too much for that mini x. That mini x sold for $209(no rod holders or hatch) brand new during the parking lot sale and being optimistic, I'd value the seat and paddle at $100. So he's really not accounting for any use and depreciation. Unless your desperate for a yak you're better of waiting it out for the next parking lot sale. See link below.

Thanks for the info. Im kinda new to the world of kayaking. My buddy wants me to get one so he can show me all the good spots around the so cal area. Im new to cali. So thanks again

Buddy your not being singled out. I look out for my kayak homies all the same. Here's a pm I sent to a guy interested in another overpriced blem. Yes I agree there aren't a shortage of douchebags on this forum, for the most part they just speak their mind and piss people off. But to drag someone in that doesn't know any better and is just getting into the sport and raping them is not cool in my book. Do whatever you want on craiglist but many won't let that slide in here

There's two extremes of individuals I see here on the forum. The one extreme are people like makobob, rhyak, and wade just to name a few that try to better the kayak community and look out for their fellow brethren. The other extreme are the ones that look out for themselves and value making a profit off of their brethren. As far as forum rules and policy, sometimes just because you can doesn't mean you should.

With me it came down to one thing only.

The owner, sponsor of this site sells kayaks. New and sometimes used.

You are running an ad for your business on their site!

That is the part that is not cool.

Private party ok. Business not ok.

Is there a market for used kayak? I had a hard time selling a near new condition cobra that retails for over $1000 for $280.
