FS: Carbon Fiber Paddle
From: PhotoBuff Organization: MindSpring Enterprises Newsgroups: rec.boats.paddle,rec.boats.paddle.touring Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2003 09:15:37 -0400 Subject: FS: Carbon Fiber Paddle In article 3ooSa.89809$GL4.25037@rwcrnsc53, says... Or ONNO paddles... IMHO everybit as good as a Whetstone and very inexpensive. I have to agree with Brian, your paddle is a good one, but your price is very near the price of new. w. I do not think $190 including shipping is unreasonable for a like new paddle that cost $240 including shipping. It was your choice to pay a premium for shipping. Standard shipping from Whetstone is $10 not $20. Would you impose that cost on your buyer or would you allow them to choose a more reasonable shipping method? Ordering a paddle brand new and sight unseen from an on line retailer is a leap of faith for most people. Doing so for a used paddle from an individual who's idea of "like new" may be quite different from that of the buyer is an even more extreme leap of faith. Since there are new alternatives out there that may not have existed when you bought your Whetstone paddle, the market would logically be looking for better value in a used purchase. In case you are not aware, they charge a premimum for custom length and a 210 CM paddle is a custom length to them (or so they charged me anyway). And to most of the paddlers out here, for a touring paddle, 210 is somewhat short. Making it not only custom, but somewhat odd. Therefore lowering the value as it narrows the market considerably. Their phone is disconnected. Their phone is not disconnected. Their answering system still picks up. Not trying to be a price cop, just pointing out some factors that you may not have thought of.
