Teresa Yoon listed her old kayak on Craigslist for $140. Fat-fingered the price. Typed $14,000. She went to bed without proofreading. By morning, she had eleven emails. Not complaints. Offers. One collector asked if it was the high-end Kevlar racing model discontinued in 2006. Another wanted to know about the original skeg. Teresa looked up the faded logo on the hull. Spent twenty minutes on a kayaking forum. Her stomach dropped. Her father had bought it at a yard sale in 1998 for sixty dollars. It was a prototype Seda Glider one of nine ever made.
She sold it for $16,200 to a museum in Duluth.
