2015 Pricing Advice/Discussion
I am a little unsure on pricing. Last year I threw them up and asked way too much and didn't even have a look. I know spring is the best time to sell them but frankly I would like to move them now so I can order new boats and get them by spring...plus it seems like things are in short supply with the world situation. I am thinking I would like to ask in the $1600 -$1700 range for each boat. My boat, is fully rigged for fishing and I am thinking I could sell that one "plain jane" for $1600 -$1700 or somewhere in the $2300 to $2500 with HDS 7 Carbon, totalscan, plus an additional transducer, battery box, livewell etc. Thoughts? Am I high? Low? Close? Suggestions? |

Hard to judge an unfamiliar market. What accessories? Condition?
Look at Craigslist and offer up to see what is out there and pricing. Watch the listings for a week and see if they are taken down (sold) |

Condition for both is good. They are five years old, but ultimately in good to great shape. One is Ivory dune and bone stock, the other is papaya and is heavily setup for fishing/long term expeditions.
So I would either sell them both including the following base accessories:

Given the state of hobie kayak availability new and a shortage at this time of used ones on CL. I would say you are provably a little low. My biggest question is unless you are getting out of the fishing kayak or boat, why would you sell the HDS7 carbon and totall scan transducer?

I have certainly considered that I am low given market conditions!
Absolutely not getting out of fishing or kayaking - the only reason I would sell the HDS and totalscan is if it made sense to help move the Kayak as a fishing setup. If that happened, I would probably just upgrade to an HDS Live with Totalscan on the new boats. Trust me, love that depth finder/ducer combo and do not want to part with it! Its just that my Papaya Outback is really customized just for my setup and the things I have, so was just thinking if someone was interested in the whole setup I would part with the greater electronics parts (only for a fair increase in price though). |

Used kayak price has skyrocketed so your price seem very reasonable.

Thanks for all the input everyone - boats are listed locally and can be referenced here on the classifieds of this forum:
