Based on my experience with Craigslist Dallas, good deals over 1 day old are scams or the item has been sold and the seller didn’t bother to delete the post.

Ocean kayak speck, scrambler, wilderness tarpon....there are a ton of great kayaks for that price range. Just because you don't know them doesn't mean they don't exist. I have had the speck offshore at the rigs several times, frenzy is another one. I’ve owned a tarpon and I know of every one of those. I’m not new to the sport. My tarpon was not $350 or $500. And I stand by what I said. Pedal drive for me.

I'm glad you found a fit. Everyone doesn't have your budget or the desire to pedal. Some, like me prefer old school and simple.

I have 6 kayaks and a canoe. All serve a purpose. I got my canoe for 300, the speck for 300. Neither of those boats will I ever get rid of.

That's just crazy. Not something I'd buy or own but I will say it's still waayyyyy cheaper than a boat. This is a good example of folks assuming they know "what it's worth". The market will tell you what it's worth. There's not going to be any comps for this type of kayak so how does he know? What we pay or have invested in a kayak means absolutely nothing when it comes to selling it. I'd be shocked if he got 7k for it much less 8k.

Nobody gets their money back like that. Expect about half of what you dump into it. Who...today has 8000 for a kayak, most people are struggling to come up with gas money to even get to the water. Hahahahaha

It might not be a scam but not sure why someone would try to sell it in two different locations without noting this info in the description.

this forum is def on its way out. BUT Kayak fishing is NOT..its super hot..EVERY single post i reply to in facebook marketplace, small boats, kayaks especially, dont even last a couple hours, except the idiots that want like $500 or more for a Stock kayak, but the $350 and below ones go so fast...literally like 10-15 this week alone, people are even trying to capitalize pulling out these old crappy kayak they havent used in years and trying to sell them.
its so hard to grab a used one Im at the point I've given up trying to get one, I have a canoe, im just going to spruce up, take my son out instead of myself in a kayak. Seen some pretty good mods for canoe, so I'll worry about a yak once the season goes. I have a tandem Jackson Big Tuna 14ft I was looking to sell online for $900. Has a few flush mounts. Have additional rod holders brand new, just not installed I can throw in.

Kayaking is still my preferred fishing method and I am still rocking my Wilderness Ride 115x that is 8 years old now. In the beginning I relied on this forum heavily but once I got past the learning curve I stopped looking at this section as much as I did when I was learning.
