A few years ago, I bought one of the last K-Light folding kayaks (fits in a backpack) before Feathercraft discontinued them in favour of the K-1 and Kahuna models. I've used it for a total of about 4 days on the water (say, 2 hours each time) before realizing that kayaking was probably not for me. It's still in good condition, and I'm trying to sell it. What would be a reasonable price for it? Would $1400 be reasonable? -- Ka Wai TAM Shad 86W : EngSci 9T1 : PEng '93 : MEng '94 : MD '98 : CCFP '00 ~{L7<RN0~} "Ni parolu per Esperanto!" http://www.shelluser.net/~kwtam Use kw.tam_at_utoronto.ca even if this email came from elsewhere.

1000-1300 is sometimes asking price for a good condition (700-900 for older one). Many people started selling them 2-3 years ago in favor of Kahuna, not only for other common reasons. Try K-light for 1400, why not... There must be very few of them left in new condition, besides US$ is now lower than it used to be related to other currencies, and it is summer time (well, except for Australia, where there is summer all year round anyway :-). > A few years ago, I bought one of the last K-Light folding kayaks (fits in a > backpack) before Feathercraft discontinued them in favour of the K-1 and > Kahuna models.

Actually, I've listed it at foldingkayaks.com here: http://www.foldingkayak.com/used.htm but just to save you the trouble, here's the actual blurb itself: K-Light Plus - 2000 - Yellow Sealskin. Excellent condition - used four times. Includes all standard equipment. $1,450 OBO.

I meant US$ too. Don't remember now how "K1 plus" model was different from "K1" - either hatches were added, or hull and deck made of new better material. They cost $1900, and then $1700 shortly before were discontinued in 2002 - to clear room for Kahunas, that started from $2100, and now cost about $2300. A kind of artificial inflation. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
