If you're an REI member.

Starting Price: $199

Total: $159 shipped.

The sale ends May 30th.

Now compare that to the Wheeleez site.

Total $242


That said...  if anyone wants to buy a used Wheeleez mini-cart for $80,  I have one and I can bring it to ORC if you want.

Great find!  Thanks.  I have a mini as well, but it would be nice to have two for guests.  Also, I am finishing up a big azz canoe and will need another cart.

Brian- Does yours have the treaded or balloon tires?  If you have the latter would you consider a wheel trade?  I have treaded Wheeleez tires and they don't quite cut it on the sand.

IIRC, Brians are the Wheeleez PVC wheels.

I will add that the mini-wheeleez does have one great feature .. you can store it in your front hatch.  The full size cart.. not so much.

Yes, I still have the mini-cart for $80.

I was looking to drop my REI dividend on a WBC and the starting price has gone up to $240!

If I don't do it this year will they be $288 next year?

Tempted to get a second Wheeleez kart for my PA.  I could have a set in both front and rear scuppers and just pull it along rather than trying to lift either end and wheel it....hmmm......

You can still lift the front wheels up to turn.

I think with the ProAngler you might be better off with one of these..

Save your dividend for something like a crap load of Clif bars, and buy your cart elsewhere for less.
Check shipping and see if it comes out lower than REI.

http://www.wayfair.com/Wheeleez-Inc.-Kayak-Beach-Cart-WZ1-KCB-WHE1001.html?refid=FR49-WHE1001l $210, with free shipping.

Yeah Insayn, you forgot to factor in the REI magic 20% off coupon and it knocks it down to $192. So they're in the ballpark.

REI has good C.S. too, should anything not perform as expected. Although, the bugs were probably worked out long ago.

I'm just saying $33 bucks (after discounts) is a pretty significant price jump.

Maybe it's due to a design change. The tires aren't PVC anymore, they are some other type of plastic. They include a little sack of shavings to weld leaks. I'm not sure when they switched over.
