I've had good luck selling kayaks over eBay, believe it or not. I don't ship them. One of them I delivered to a fellow who lives within a few hours' drive of me, and another one I sold to a fellow who drove to my place from a city several hours away. A little OT - I insist that the buyers paddle the kayak first. I talk to them about the joys of kayaking and also about some of the problems which can occur. I have them sign a statement that they understand that kayking can be dangerous, that instruction is (IMO) necessary, safety equipment, yadayadayada.... This will appear to be embarrassing CYA stuff to some, uselessly incomplete information to others - but at least it salves my conscience knowing that I've talked to the buyer and that he really does understand both the joys and the potential problems of sea kayaking.
