MIDSUMMER MADNESS - Complete gear selloff! ::::: PRICE DROP - August 21st

macboy - 2-8-2013 at 11:27 AM

No, no, no....not me. I'm sticking to it.

Sadly though, our good friend RevPaul has decided it's time to let his gear go so he can focus his energy and finances on his love of landsailing. We went back and forth on things but ultimately it just seemed easier to offer my time, energy (and boxes) to take care of the sale for him. You can read more about it on the sale site and see his comments which will appear below shortly I'm sure.

His gear is immaculate and very well respected and taken care of. We/he didn't really get out all that much so the phrase "limited use" hardly even accurately explains it. He's passing some amazing gear and amazing prices back to the PKF community.

Please email me at the link on the bottom of the sale page - I'll have more immediate/constant access to that vs U2U. All "dibs" will be granted by timestamp on the emails.

Click here to have a look.

Please note, I've got commitments that will have me away form the desk here today from 2-8pm MST and tomorrow (Saturday) from 7am-5pm MST. I'll plan to sit down to respond to emails as soon as I return both days.

3rd party honest opinion

revpaul - 2-8-2013 at 12:10 PM

I asked Kelly to have a good look at my stuff so I could offer an honest, non-biased opinion on this gear's condition to potential buyers.
Kelly had already set up his own cool web site to sell some gear off a while back and I asked if he/i could list my stuff there.
so there you have it.
lot's of info and pics and a knowledgable 3rd party opinion.
Thanks again Kelly.
Paul
Edit...the 12m Pulse 2's new CL and mixers came from FS Canada(mike) and not PZ but PZ did mod/tune replace CL on 17 1.5.
the 3m BeamerIII and 12m Pu2 were my goto buggy engines and everything else got very little use.

email sent for dibs on the Pulse2!!! :D

soliver - 2-8-2013 at 12:52 PM

Good lookin stuff,... Wish I had the money to spare on the RII... but I just got an 8.6m so likely won't be buying anything any time soon :no:

erratic winds - 2-8-2013 at 05:12 PM

Speed 1.5 17m is listed as 12m in sale page, fwiw

kite killer - 2-8-2013 at 05:50 PM

U2U on Npw5 and line sets!

macboy - 2-8-2013 at 09:00 PM

Thanks for the catch Erratic. Updating sale page now with pending sales.

BeamerBob - 2-8-2013 at 09:47 PM

I would take the smoothies if the shipping wasn't so bad. Going across the north border always stings.

macboy - 3-8-2013 at 05:53 AM

We can always see if D can shuttle them to SOBB for you Bob. You could coordinate getting them from there.

dirtslide - 3-8-2013 at 08:17 AM

Thanks Paul/Kelly , very excited to get the 17m Speed for such a great price and with SOBB at the end of the month I want to try the S1 with the Speed on the beach:evil:

bigkid - 5-8-2013 at 12:45 PM

Got to thinking about the cost of "Shipping International" and thought I would offer a bit of help if needed. If bladerunner or dirtslide could bring the items to SOBB, I would be happy to pass the items on. Not sure of the cost to get the stuff to Vancouver, might help with anyone's decision on getting the right price deal. Or not. Just an offer....
First off, I should ask bladerunner or dirtslide if they would want to help out, HEY YOU GUY'S WANT TO HELP OUT?:D

You are on the right track Jeff but best bet is that Kiteboyza will swing through Edmonton on his way to SOBB ? If not the 17m Speed is going to Dirtslide so ??

KsKiteAddict - 5-8-2013 at 04:46 PM

@dirtslide: Thanks for removing the temptation of FS 17m. Looks like you got a great deal there. Am sure you will put it to good use.

KsKiteAddict - 5-8-2013 at 04:46 PM

Please excuse double post...

BEC - 5-8-2013 at 06:19 PM

Is that Blurr still pending?

macboy - 5-8-2013 at 07:05 PM

Thanks for the offer of help Jeff and yes, we can check with D and see if he can run stuff down.

@BEC - Blurr still pending. Heading to the post office tomorrow morning to check all the pending shipping costs so we'll change those to either "Sold" or "For Sale" again tomorrow.

volock - 5-8-2013 at 09:16 PM

Email sent with hopes for dibs on far more than I should

dirtslide - 5-8-2013 at 10:51 PM

I would be happy to help if there is any of these items that need a lift down to SOBB , let me know or work it out with Kelly . @ Addict ,I couldn't pass up on a deal like that and yes it will be seeing plenty of use on the beach:evil::cool:

Proletariat - 5-8-2013 at 10:54 PM

Would it help if you shipped all the items to me in Colorado, made me fly them for hours on end and then shipped them to their respective owners?

Just trying to help :)

I thought I was the only one with that idea.:lol:

macboy - 6-8-2013 at 12:41 PM

All shipping estimates sent. DS - The Speed is on it's way to you! Listing will be updated by day's end today. Adding one of my fleet to the mix that really isn't being flown as much as it should - the Brooza II 7.5.

volock - 6-8-2013 at 12:54 PM

Now that I just finished buying two in that size off the list, you post one I'd love to have just to tempt me into ordering a last one. Are you selling the Brooza RTF and price?

EDIT: Well I think that's it for me, just added that last one to my order... Should keep my content for a bit

macboy - 6-8-2013 at 09:51 PM

All updated everyone. Still loads of great gear here and all in pretty amazing condition! Let's get it out of here before it attaches itself to my personal stockpile :lol:

BEC - 7-8-2013 at 04:23 AM

How much was that Blurr so I can stop thinking about it!.....Still pending?

dirtslide - 7-8-2013 at 08:23 AM

@ macboy :D:thumbup:

macboy - 7-8-2013 at 08:54 AM

@BEC - yes, it's finally cleared the list.

macboy - 8-8-2013 at 11:30 AM

All updated, some prices adjusted to reflect the "competitors" :lol:

Proletariat - 8-8-2013 at 10:19 PM

Thanks again Kelly/Paul. I am so very looking forward to getting my Pulse2. It's exactly what I was looking for and JUST in time for snow season! You guys are the best!

Incidentally, I may have a couple too many kites now... Always a positive problem. I may be offloading an Arc or two soon.

Michael Gaylan - 9-8-2013 at 03:08 AM

okay.. It's time for me to go start bidding on projects to build for money (thought I was done lol) .. GOSH so many great offers lately.

volock - 12-8-2013 at 12:37 PM

Granted, I know Macboy has a fantastic enough reputation around here there's no need to post this, but I'm going to anyway.

Just wanted to say macboy did an amazing job packing everything up and shipping it. Everything came true to description and pictures, some looking in slightly better shape than pictures had me thinking. Shipped out on same day he got my payment and was here way faster than I expected.

...AWESOME....THANX KELLY.

:thumbup::thumbup: Good to hear Volock!

I also owe you a thanks for taking such good care of your gear and selling it at such reasonable prices. Had the Pansch and the Ozone out earlier today and both were a lot of fun... And tried out your PL harness I bought, which was interesting, first time with one with a pulley for me.

Proletariat - 12-8-2013 at 07:24 PM

Volock, don't clip into that Pansh if it's an ace. I made that mistake on a relatively calm day and really hurt myself. Those are dangerous kites, IMO. I'd rather clip into a Blade, honestly.

Anywhoo, just got my package today, and the Pulse 2 is in even better shape than it looked in the pics. And it was also about a week early. Really thank you guys for your work. I <3 this kite!

kite killer - 12-8-2013 at 10:29 PM

Got 'em today and couldn't help but bust it out. Thanks for an old school deal!

Sorry for getting off topic in this thread, but thanks for the advice! I did clip into it, but the wind (or lack there of) was such I was spending more time trying to launch and get anything in the air than I was flying... Wind would stay steady at about 5mph then die for 10-15 minutes, then come back for 5-10.... Next time I think I'll heed the warning and not clip in

macboy - 16-8-2013 at 09:59 AM

hehehhe....I remember a few heavy harnesses from that Ace. :lol:

macboy - 21-8-2013 at 09:11 AM

Time for a price drop!!

For those not sure about it, the shipping has been going effortlessly, no surprises at the border and very reasonable rates. All 5 day service (the cheapest option) and nothing over $50. Most have been around $30 if I recall correctly.

Michael Gaylan - 21-8-2013 at 12:38 PM

So what's left for sale and how much?

cheers

macboy - 21-8-2013 at 12:40 PM

Just CLICK HERE and you'll see the full, glorious listing.

dirtslide - 22-8-2013 at 04:18 PM

I will take both sets of handles ,U2U sent.
