Who can tell me anything about a best trainer kite? There is one for sale on eBay but the guy know nothing about it. It is a 2 line bar trainer that
is red. I can't seem to find any information at all about it. What size did it come in, what years and how much do you think is to much? Thanks

Assuming you are talking about a Best Kiteboarding Trainer Kite
https://vimeo.com/82180324
Sizes: 1.5m - $149, 2.5m - $ 229.99
Product info can be found here:
http://www.bestkiteboarding.com/en-us/trainer-kite
It's been produced since at least 2005... probably earlier. Can always contact Best if you need an earliest production date.
The sizes were different in some years. Specifically, the 2.5m used to be a 3.0m.
How much? Is it used? Does it come with lines/bar? What condition are those in?
ATB,
Sam

I the person selling found it and does not know anything about it. Seems to be in good shape.

Another listing (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Best-Trainer-Kite-2-2-/221403693405?...)
for what appears to be the same kite lists it as a 2005 2.2.
Although, the alternate listing is almost $50 for shipping in the US, which seems looney tunes.
Impossible to tell from the pictures, what the condition the lines are in. And if the person really found it on the street, there might be hidden
damage.
Price might jump in the last hour of bidding.
Personally I would jump all over Dakitez's listing for the 2.3 PL Vibe trainer with free shipping and the peace of mind of a brand spanking new kite
with dealer support.

Not to mention the sexy black & orange color scheme. In the interest of full disclosure, I have a well documented weakness for dark wings.
