It's got to be a goof. Grab it before they change the price !

Re: Um..is this for real??
Hmm, I'm thinking it's a $500 dinghy for $500.

Re: Um..is this for real??
Normal price is $1990-$2500. For the csm/ hypalon version. Better buy 2

Re: Um..is this for real??
I'm currently trying to sell a $1,700 eight foot Livingston plus improvements for $500 and I'm getting nowhere. There's either a very big surplus of dinghies out there or no real market. Given I replaced the Livingston with a Walker Bay with a collar, BUY IT.

Re: Um..is this for real??
I ordered one. If its not CSM or seems to be shoddy in any way I'll return it. Amazon is pretty good about that kind of thing.
I really hope its the real deal cause I've never had the money to buy a decent dinghy and have always had older used one's bought for similar money of craigslist. They are always not the great but I don't really use an inflatable enough to bring myself to shelling out around $2k for a nice new one.

Re: Um..is this for real??
Check the similar products at the bottom of the page.
8' version is $2k+
10' pvc is same price as the link posted by OP.
So it's a mistake, but they may honor it if one acts fast. Probably should crosscheck the item number with the pvc version.

Re: Um..is this for real??
Ordered one too! Look for a reliable 2007 Mercury RIB forsale on craigslist soon
I wanted a roll-up for our next ocean crossing, and The Walker Bay dinghy have good reviews. Thanks for the heads-up.

Re: Um..is this for real??
The same dinghy showed up for over $3000 on amazon.ca (and currently out of stock)
I then went to amazon.com where it listed for somewhere around $484. I added it to my shopping cart and it magically went to $505 ... hey, seems like still a good deal . Seems that I couldn't ship it to Canada so I shipped it to a US freight forwarder and presto (well after I paid US taxes)
Soooo, I wonder if a bright and shiny new dinghy is in my future
Just checked Amazon again and it's $944 ... automated pricing gone haywire ?????

Re: Um..is this for real??
Decided to check on what I bought (maybe) ... that model shows as no longer available on a whole bunch of web sites so maybe these are 'surplus' models ?
I wanted to find out what the fabric was (pvc or Hypalon) but so far no luck.

It's CSM.... Hypalon wasn't being produced for a short period of time. CSM is the same thing, just not the Hypalon brand.
