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.

My car is always stinky and my kayak is stinkier.

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.

I'm guessing on this but I have a feeling someone bought a kayak today. I just went to check the link and it's not available to look at anymore.

I noticed there was a new link of the same Kayak and asking for $200 more. I think she priced herself out of a sale. Honestly someone must have told her to increase the price. There's nothing to the kayak and she wants $600? Personally I would by Danjor's Kayak for $500 if I were you.
