Interesting tidbit ... seach ebaydotcom on my laptop 6 ways to sunday and this item does not show up ... type twinskin into my mobile ebay app (samsung galaxy tab) and this is the first thing to show up ...

Any one know why this would not show on web search of Ebay

I put in Peter Lynn on my pc and it came up just fine.

I have found the same issue....All depends on how they (person selling) posted it. That is how it will show up in search EBay's search engine...Some put kites in under name, some put them in under power kite and not manufacture....That's how I think it happens....

Think I figured out the ebay thing . . . Maybe . . . Myandroid app goes to ebaydotcom . . . I find this phantom no problem . . . Laptop goes to ebaydotCA . . . The canadian site . . And no phantom . . I THINK BECAUSE SELLER WILL NOT SHIP TO CANADA, dotCA site blocks the auction . . . Could it be so simple?

Looks like phanny is from Phil (pbc) then adam(flyjump) now this seller

just thought the ebay issue was interesting . . Small things amuse small minds I guess:smilegrin:

Mine! mineminemineminemine.

Thanks, Smeagol. I'm really sorry I didn't catch you before you put her up on eBay. I'm VERY excited about owning the iconic Phantom, and it fits perfectly with my vintage quiver of arc awesomeness (VQAA).

Incidentally, after the last few weekends of gust-tastic gustyness combined with my VQAA, I think I'm going to get rid of one or two LEIs (an 8m and a 13m). If anyone is interested let me know, or I'll just list them up here in a few days.

Nice purchase . . I was gonna compete with you but seller wasn't shipping to Canada . . . :sniff . . . :sniff::(

I snoozed....I loozed....nice snag!

Ah, dang eBay and it's weird shipping. I coulda swore I put worldwide shipping but it must have changed it. It also has really odd categories. It was either under "Kitesurfing" or "Child's toys" so I opted for the kitesurfing category. ;)

So happy I snagged this! Thanks again, Mike.
