Re: PortaBote 12' Folding Dinghy

I am not sure about the year. Probably about 5 years old. I am the second owner.
We are asking $950.

Yes. The cheapest ground shipping is probably about $65-$85 but I am not sure. If you are interested, PM me so I can get a quote from my house to yours.

Re: PortaBote 12' Folding Dinghy

Am I correct in assuming the seller has only joined the forum for the purposes of selling this one boat?

No! I have been an avid reader of the forum for a number of years. However, I do not post often on any forums.

Re: PortaBote 12' Folding Dinghy

Just a question. You joined this month and your total post count is in this one thread. I don't really care. I was considering the realities of me trying to buy a used PB in the USA and getting it sent to the Miami area to Tropical or G&G (Dania) to get it down here. I was thinking of the whole payment thing, and realizing my limitations living in a foreign country. Sending money to strangers, etc. Don't take it personally. Some of the people on this forum...I feel like I've known them for years. Well, actually, I have.

Re: PortaBote 12' Folding Dinghy

This issue comes up whether I am posting every day or every decade. There are plenty of on-line escrow services that make the transaction secure for both parties.

Doesn't bother me that he's only posted one time. He has an item to sell, and if it benefits someone that has 1 or 3000 posts it's a good thing in my mind.
