====== Used/Resale/Specials ====== If you are a beginner please look at [[:surfskis#your_first_surfski|buying your first surfski]]. Demand for used surfskis and outrigger canoes can vary greatly depending on your location. If there is high demand then it’s a seller’s market and used boats typically seem more expensive than they are in other places where there seems to be a greater supply or low demand. Some of the resale websites listed below may not get a new listing for a long time. Notice also that many of these sites will allow you to post what you are looking for, not just something for sale. It is a really good idea to talk to local boaters who can keep an eye out for a used boat for you. They may also know how to get the word out to other local paddlers via local club email and paddler blogs. Talking to local dealers and brand reps can help too (if they are willing), sometimes they hear about boats that are only sold via word of mouth - which will typically be sold before you otherwise ever hear about them unless folks in the know are watching for you. We have also tried to include retailers who more frequently have used/demo/rentals/discounts available, but it is sometimes worth checking if any of your local retailers have deals available. Note also the link below for [[:used_boats_equipment#long_distance_boat_transport|boat transport]] (near bottom of page). Finding a boat for sale that is farther away than you wish to drive doesn't mean it is unattainable. Ideally you might know someone local to the seller who could inspect the boat for sale (and even better - will be headed your way in the not too distant future and could bring the boat you buy to you). But there are also commercial transport services in some countries and there are some message boards where you can make connections with folks who are headed your way.\\ . **//**Always be careful about determining legitimate sellers and buyers.
