Question about selling a cascade

I am selling my friends cascade and was wondering what the going price is, or what you would be willing to pay if you were in the market.

Boat is in good shape for its age, mainly just been in storage for most of its life.

Comes with original dagger saddle and nearly like new snapdragon skirt made specifically for this cockpit.

Only strike against this thing is it is ugly, white with all kinds of rainbow stripes. From back when dagger made all those colorful boats. Or if you like the retro look maybe the color is a selling point.

He has a price in mind but I though I would see what y'all think

And yes I looked at the prices in the boats for sale section, but is not clear if any of them sold.

yes this boats are coming harder and harder to come by so people think they can charge more, but they are so old that the plastic is brittle even if there aren't deep scratches so buying them is risky.
The saddle makes it worth a good amount and the skirt helps to. I think that anywhere from 250 to 350 is fair. These boats are a bit of a shot in the dark I had one that didn't last long that seemed in better shape than the second one I bought which is still going to my knowledge. They honestly can crack at any moment it seems, but i think that should be known by the buyer

I paid $150 for mine. Two years ago. Good condition. No skirt.

Doubt I'd go over $250 with a skirt that fit me.

Hi, Driftwood,

I am going to be in Asheville this weekend to pick up a canoe.

I would be interested in looking at your Cascade with an eye towards buying it.

Let me know if that's a possiblity, please.
