Flexifoil Blade III 8.5 & 10.5

RedSky - 15-6-2015 at 10:04 PM

Save me from the high bidder with zero feedback!!

Serves me right I guess. I should have advertised the kites here first but I'm pretty hard up at the moment. The tax man has taken a big chunk of money from me this month. Fair enough it was very over due but I'm struggling day to day now. Not sure if I could afford to have them sitting around on the forum.

This is a UK only auction but I will happily sell to you guys. Would anybody be interested in placing a bid? Shipping to the US is £53.

The 8.5 fly's perfectly as seen in my latest video but there is a 3" tear in the canopy and the sleeving is partially missing on brake leader (bridle end).

10.5 is in very good condition. Both ready to fly. The 10.5 has a Wipika winder.

I created a video specially for the sale - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtpTRko992I


Here is the listing - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flexifoil-Blade-III-10-5m-power-ki...

I would be more than happy to bid on it :D There is no US option for postage though, only UK. You might have to change it in the settings.

Cheers, Ari

Thanks for your confidence. Unfortunately ebay won't allow me to revise the shipping as I already have bids. If you win, are you prepared to use PayPal to send me the shipping cost separately or is there another way? I'm completely new to ebay selling.

I have a few more things to sell if this all works out.

Oh my bad. I'll use PayPal if I win then yes. And send the shipping separately.

I just made it quite a bit more expensive for whoever had the auto-bid on the 8.5 :D

ssayre - 16-6-2015 at 11:12 AM

The 10.5 is a little higher now too.

IFlyKites - 16-6-2015 at 11:26 AM

Tried bidding on the 10.5 about five times and someone already has the highest maximum bid. I'll try a few more times but chances are I won't beat the highest bidder :mad: Good luck on the sale though! Hopefully you get a good amount for it.

Thanks for the bump! :thumbup: I couldn't understand why my arms were aching yesterday, then I remembered why. :D

IFlykites and Sean - :thumbup: You are both brilliant but I feel terrible. I hate the idea of the likely-hood of pitting my friends here against each other.

I liked the idea of a PKF member owning these kites as I'd still get to see them in your videos or hear about you enjoying them. I really don't like the idea of this zero feedback guy as high bidder. I hope he is genuine.

The 10.5 has already exceeded my expectations in price and paying any more is not such a good deal for you.

If you miss out this time then I still have another one or two blades to sell and a few old-school race kites.

Thanks again guys :thumbup:

I shouldn't be spending money right now anyway so I'll win either way the auction goes. There's still 4 days left. I'll bet the 10.5 goes up quite a bit. Where else are you going to get a 10.5 blade?

I am so surprised at the price. :o
It's great though. I'm borrowing money just to eat at the moment, but then I guess fillet steak and Foie gras don't come cheap.

ssayre - 16-6-2015 at 06:12 PM

Oh it's getting serious now. I've never bought anything from ebay that wasn't "buy it now". We'll see, still a few days left. Hopefully it helps out either way.

I just bought the wife a car so I'm close to being broke. I'm the highest bidder currently on the blade III 8.5 at 125 uk. Feel free to out bid me please.
