: Yes I have noticed them and their lack of bids. I think people into this
: class and quality of yak want to build their own. Can you imagine the
: scene at the lake.. "ooooh what a beautiful boat..did you make that
: yourself?" ".....no I overpaid for it on e-bay. I cant even
: build a sand castle"

I've noticed that, too. I was thinking the reason that they generally are not bid on is the reluctance (understandable) to plunk down 2 or 3 grand on a boat that they've never test paddled. I'd be curious to find out how many completed boats are purchased from our favorite designers.
