Thread: price check 2.5m inflatable boat

so i have a 2.5 meter inflatable, i have no idea what to ask for it? was thinking of putting it on TM but if i thought i could get a hassle free sale through here i would rather do it that way initially.

it was bought to use for duck season as some bugger flogged my tinnie, but have since upgraded, i have never been in the water with it and it has been stored in the garage, it has foot pump (takes about 5 mins to do all the baffles and floor), seat and i even made carpet lined marine ply base (seemed like a handy idea but in hindsight??)

i appreciate that im meant to put an asking price on it before putting it on the buy sell page here, hence my question, what i get from this goes to get some new carry handles, retractable wheels, possibly some oars and some other upgrades on the new inflatable.....and i get some of the garage back!!!!

what's a fair price?

Depends whether it’s pvc or hypalon, with the latter being more resilient. If uncertain, scratch with fingernail and hypalon likely to leave a whitish mark. If not, it’s likely pvc. FWIW I paid about a grand for a hypalon Lancer 2.8 inflatable in excellent condition.

Rule of secondhandness

Mint= 2/3 new value
poor= 1/3 new value
shit=pay someone to take it away.

New prices for comparison

You bought it second hand? did you get it cheap or pay a fair price?
That, plus 60-70% of what ever you invested in it to tidy it up.

Cheers got some very sound advice via here and by pm, thanks

Unless it is like Tikka where you add 100% of the modification price to what you paid for it, then calculate storage costs and maintenance and add that on.

If it was 2nd hand when you got it, I would suggest a similar price, if you got it new then I would be asking about 70% as @ROKTOY suggests.
