Default So I am doing some Craigslist shopping

on the prowl for kayaks still (last deal fel through )

Anyways I find people are kinda dumb about their ads. This guy has a Yak for sale for $750 with no accessories and used but "good condition with minor scratches" and for details on the boat he provides a link to REI where he bought it....


Where it sells for new at $700 :lmfao:

That's great. You should e-mail him and say that you were interested but think the REI deal may be better and ask him why his is a better deal

Those are okay for easy water, when you start doing technical whitewater kayaking they aren't as balanced as they need to be. It's like the difference between a bicycle you buy at Kmart and a dedicated bike shop run by riders that have done all kinds of riding, from trail, mountain, to speed on tracks.

people looking at ads on craigslist are also dumb (not that you are...). i sold a bunch of furniture earlier this year from my old house. for each listing, i included a good description, age, any damage, reason for selling, dimensions, and pictures. i even formatted everything nicely to make it easier to read. but about 80% of the time, people would e-mail or call asking for the exact information i included in the ad.

Yeah I've gotten a lot of e-mails that will only say:

"hey how much for da rimz?"

or

"hi will the rims fit a honda civic, 4 lug. and how good are the tires on it"

when the text of my ad says "$200 obo - Will fit all year Acura Integras (Except type R), most model year civics (any that are 4x100), and any other car with the right bolt pattern. Requires special narrow-gauge lug nuts, not included. Tires are shot - one is blown, two are worn down, and one has good tread left."

Read, DAMMIT!

However, it's cool to hit it up before the end of the month, because heads are trying to make rent. h:
