Great deal!

I saw this in Craigslist and thought it was funny. He invested $12,000 but will sell the 2 kayaks and trailer for just $7500

There we go, fixed it!

How did it add up to $12k? Someone ... anyone ... PLEASE enlighten me?

He's an attorney by day and just transferred over his labor charge of $375/hr for the install work?

he's also counting in all the crack he smoked while tabulating the prices?

what about the fee for his fishing license, the gas to all the stores to buy the gear, the launching fee to test the fish finders,  wear and tear on his vehicle for pulling the trailer, trailer hitch, wiring for the car to hook up the trailer, meals while doing the work, etc.
somebody should offer him 2000 for them.

I did one better....I just sent him this link http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=67835.msg764762;topicseen#new 

I think it works like this. "Honey I'm gonna spend 1000$ on a kayak"
Reply "Ok then I'm gonna spend 1000$ on shoes and a purse" it would be pretty easy to end up at 12000$

I think you're onto something.   It's gotta be like, "See Honey, I TRIED to sell the kayaks.  I posted an ad on CL and everything... we gotta keep since we can't sell it all.  I really did try."

OK, that I can work with.

Dude you can't put a price on cool.

But just for clarification, what model of kayaks are they? Because the ad says Malibu X (13ft and 14ft)...so, an X-13 and an X-Factor or ?

Come on now both of these come with the X Wing Commander !
