Yes,$1000 does seem a little steep, and $800 a bit fairer price.  On the 
other hand, a lot of people selling used kayaks include a paddle, PFD, 
sprayskirt, etc. so if one is in the market for a used kayak, and the price 
looks a little high, make sure to ask if it includes any other equipment.

Since we're talking used boat prices...

What would you consider a fair price for a three year old Northbay XL with 
a new coat of bottom paint and varnish on the deck?
