Moving this back up....sold my canoe so now I'm really in the market. Is there a best time of year to buy a used kayak? I've searched craigslist but can't find much in the way of sit-on kayaks for under $500. I did find one of the F&S Eagle Talon 12 with paddle, anchor, upgraded seat and small net that the guy said he'd take $450. Seems like a fair deal but I don't know what $450 will buy in a used yak.
