$320 Shipped. This is the one I purchased from Redsky. It has a seem that has a small tear that has been there for years without getting worse. I had a sail repair guy reinforce it with tape. I flies perfectly and the sail is in great shape otherwise. Sickens me to sell this, but with sky high premiums and deductibles, a hobby may be something that will have to be put on hold.

having second thoughts on this one. Sorry, should have thought this one through. FYI no one had contacted me or I would have sold it. Might still, just having second thoughts

You go ahead and sell if you need to Sean. I love the Blades and this one is awesome.
This kite is on an adventure and is not ready to settle down.

It once pulled a sled across the vast Greenland Ice Sheet and the journey continues from the land of the midnight sun to old London town to Indianapolis, the crossroads of America. If Sean decides to sell then I'd love to know who will care for and enjoy it as we have done. Where will it go next??

You sold me your last one...and regretted it.....I bought another one at WW this Spring (same size you are selling) and it was the only kite I flew all weekend.....Unless you NEED the money for some dire emergency I would hold on to it......Great in the buggy on a certain windy day and they are just awesome flying static again during that perfect wind.

I view it like this....You can go out to a nice dinner/movie/show and dump a ton of cash to make you smile and feel good for one night....why can't you justify that if you had the perfect session out with your kite that the experience was worth xxx amount of money. I forget what I paid as I traded on the last one, but it was close to what you are asking and to me that was worth every penny by the end of that weekend.....

KEEP THE KITE.....and have a great weekend.....(wow that felt good giving you a little sh*t for once.....lol) :D
