I got a call from a guy who said he was interested, then asked me why he should pay me $350 when for $395 he could buy a new kayak at BassPlasterers. I tried to explain to him that he could not in fact buy a WW boat at BP, at any price. He didn't know what boat they had offered him, just a kayak for $395. I don't know what he ended up with, but I hope he didn't take it onto any real WW.
