Wanted - flexi blurr 2.5

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a Flexi Blurr 2.5, preferably complete with handles, lines, killers, and bag.


Anyone have one they might be willing to part with? From looking at these posts it sounds like there are a couple of people looking for small flexi foils, so everyone please scour your closets!


Thank you kindly

Anyone? I've searched about all I can think of to search on the net as far as other forums, etc. Someone please offer one up so that I can stop harrassing lunchbox over U2Us.

Trying to decide now if I should spring for a new one or go for something else like a rage or twister

FWIW: Bit larger than you were asking for, but there is a 3.5 Blurr (Kite Only) on eBay UK.

Buy it now price is £150.00 (231.811 USD ). Shipping is limited to the UK, but if you PM him he might be willing to ship to the US. There is currently one offer on it, but that hasn't been accepted yet.

Display/demo kite and the seller is listed as a business seller with a feedback rating of 99.7% based on 4,492 transactions as a seller.

A new 2.5 (KO) goes for about $310.

ATB,
Sam

You might find unless someone simply wants to just dump their blurr the used prices might not be too far off the new price. This is because when the blurr was released it was extremely expensive (I do not remember exact figures) then after the first year or so the price dropped considerably. Then last year when flexi dropped their prices again and cut all the dealer margins to zero the price came down considerably again.

Like I said I do not have exact numbers but I would guess the price of a new blurr has dropped in half since it was first released. So if someone bought the kite new when it first came out they might be considering it better to keep it than let it go for sooo much less than they paid. If they paid $600 now you can buy one for about $300, so to sell it used $200 or less .... might as well just keep it in the bag even if you rarely fly it :) Just my thoughts on why it might be difficult to find one.

Dino - that's really interesting background thanks. Strange moves by Flexifoil. I can't imagine the dealer community is psyched about that or the existence of their US online site. Though I note that the dealers seem to have better pricing than the Flexifoil site.

Also thanks Sam for the heads up on the ebay kite. I didn't pursue it as I'm more interested in a 2.5.
