Too many kites sale

Smeagol - 11-1-2016 at 07:16 PM

Never thought I'd say this, but I think I have too many kites... ;)

Unfortunately most of these have sat around for the past few months. I just haven't had the time to get out and fly as much as I used to, plus I have quite a bit of overlap so I've decided to let a few go. Other hobbies have started taking over most of my free time, but I do still have a few depowers I have been itchin' to try...

ARCS:

Phantom II 18m: Like new, still crispy, had two very small holes/snags which were previously repaired/patched with tedlar tape - dime sized at best. Complete with like new PL Navigator large bar. I've never flown this one. $700 + split shipping.



Scorpion 10m: got this one from 3shot, have yet to fly, only out of the bag to check out & inflate once. Has had some previous repairs but it held air great when I inflated it. Kite/spars/bag. SOLD.

Phantom 15m: This was Bobby's Phantom originally I believe. Has had some previous repairs but they are very well done. Held air fine when I inflated it initially. Kite/spars/bag. SOLD.

Big Blu 24+m prototype. I'm pretty sure we all know about this beast. Feyd's old mammoth prototype arc. KO but I do have it squeezed into a fairly small mesh cinch sack. Spars I used Rev speed series main spars cut down, may need to ship seperately as they don't break down very small. SOLD.

Added pics here:

Trampa kite board: this was flyjump's old board, he modified it for more "springyness." I've come to the conclusion that I'm not really cut out for these, much prefer sitting in the bug. ;) Comes with nice carry bag and spare parts/tubes/tires/etc. SOLD.

Flysurfer 6m Unity: got this one from Proletariat. Only out of the bag once since I've had it - at last years IBX, so it does have some playa dust on it but it was only flown out there for 10 minutes. I just rarely have the wind conditions locally to use this guy much. Complete! SOLD.


Thx!

I object to this sale on the premise of the n+1 philosophy. To many kites does not exist

ssayre - 12-1-2016 at 05:34 AM

Feyd, your question of where blu is was answered :)

Feyd - 12-1-2016 at 07:05 AM

Someone should snap Blue up. Really a great light wind Arc option. Stability FOR DAYS!

Smeagol - 12-1-2016 at 11:53 AM

Oh, there was a question as to where Blu was? I thought Feyd knew. I sold it to a local, then bought it back and haven't really used it since.

Moto: Hah! It's not really a question of too many, it's just too many sitting around not being used. They should get some use.

Feyd - 12-1-2016 at 02:22 PM

I lost track. :D

mainekite2 - 12-1-2016 at 05:45 PM

Boy I would like to have blue, but I don't need it. Argh.....

Feyd - 12-1-2016 at 05:46 PM

Oh yes you do.

hiaguy - 12-1-2016 at 06:40 PM

Come on Craig, you know you want it.

BeamerBob - 15-1-2016 at 11:44 AM

U2u sent

Smeagol - 1-2-2016 at 06:18 PM

Updated ad. Still some nice kites left. :bouncing:

yeti - 1-2-2016 at 08:33 PM

I should've passed on buying an older outlaw and picked up this unity instead... and I could've saved on shipping since I'm gonna be in the bay area tomorrow. Hindsight and stuff...

Smeagol - 2-2-2016 at 02:03 PM

I'll knock some off if you wanna do a local pickup. :D

Smeagol - 11-2-2016 at 06:43 PM

Will work on getting some pics of the Phantom II and Unity.

Delivery to IBX entirely possible if there's interest.

Thanks.

paragon - 13-2-2016 at 03:31 PM

Is the trampa still for sale?

Smeagol - 1-3-2016 at 08:15 PM

Yes, still for sale.

Bumparoonie.

Will most likely be bringing some of this to IBX.

Smeagol - 9-3-2016 at 06:27 PM

If anyone is interested in any of this, I'd entertain possible trades on 2-3m FB kites or Nasa wings. I can bring any/all to IBX as well.

Thx. :)

stetson05 - 10-3-2016 at 01:05 AM

I need to look into the Unity again but I am interested. I have been out of touch for a bit but if you aren't in a huge hurry, I am pretty interested.

Smeagol - 10-3-2016 at 03:40 PM

Yeah no rush. I'll have it with me @ IBX.

..unless it sells before then. ;)

stetson05 - 13-3-2016 at 02:03 PM

I would like the 6m Unity. I am headed to the Oregon coast this month and would love to have it there. I am assuming that the only problem is the string from the previous post and there is playa dust but no playa damage. It is probably best if I have you ship it to Seaside, Oregon 97138. I will u2u the address to you. Send me your paypal address and I will pay you.

Smeagol - 13-3-2016 at 10:59 PM

Ok, I'll work on that quote.

Yep, it's still in the same condition as when I got it plus the dust. No playa damage. I never actually flew it. Pulled it out at ivanpah but the winds were just too low at the time so it went back in the bag.

stetson05 - 14-3-2016 at 06:47 AM

Great! Thanks!

Smeagol - 23-3-2016 at 06:19 PM

couple sold, couple left... ;)

I'll most likely have the Scorp and Trampa board w/me @ IBX if anyone is interested in checking them out in person. Not sure on the Phantom II... probably too big for out there.

In person discounts available. :D

Smeagol - 27-4-2016 at 05:27 PM

Lowered some prices.

Still a bunch left. ;)

Blitzhound - 25-5-2016 at 07:29 PM

Received the Navigator bar. Like new condition. Thank you Smeagol! Here's a bump. Good luck selling the rest. Wish I had more dough I'd snatch that 18m PH2 from you!

Smeagol - 29-5-2016 at 08:36 PM

Thanks!

Yeah I need to work on pics of the phantom 2. Would probably help things..

Smeagol - 22-6-2016 at 03:55 PM

Hey all,

Adding a PL Uniq 1.5m to the sale. I just have not done much static flying lately so am moving this guy along. Will work on pics but it essentially looks like this:



Complete with bag, PL handles and lines, and KS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s. Single skin design FB so virtually indestructible. ;) Very little flight time.

$150 shipped.

Smeagol - 17-8-2016 at 04:53 PM

Still have lots of these. ;)

Dropping the Uniq to $130.

Proletariat - 17-8-2016 at 11:43 PM

What's the story on the uniq, anyway? Does it compete with the hornet, or is it designed for some specific use?

skimtwashington - 18-8-2016 at 04:52 AM

You never used it as a buggy(skate or ski) engine?

High winds use....gusty...


Smeagol - 26-8-2016 at 12:30 PM

It's Uniq! ;)

nah, I barely used it.. I tried my offroad skates at IBB and nearly fell on my a$$ so I'm probably not cut out for those. It's too small for my buggy unless it's ballistic winds like skim said.

I guess it's PL's entry into the single skin market.

Smeagol - 26-8-2016 at 12:32 PM

Oh, and I am willing to sell the Phantom 2 18m without the bar -- just in case anyone was interested in that option.

;)

alfric - 13-9-2016 at 06:54 PM

Hi Smeagol;
Still got the PL Uniq 1.5mfor sale? :)

Smeagol - 14-9-2016 at 11:30 AM

Yep! Sent you a U2U.

Smeagol - 14-11-2016 at 07:04 PM

Still have the Phantom 2 and ATB. Willing to trade towards a Peak 12m. ;)

IndestructibleYoungMan - 10-3-2017 at 10:29 AM

Smeagol I sent you a U2U!

Smeagol - 2-12-2018 at 10:29 PM

Wow. Been awhile. I do still have this hardly used (by me) Phantom II 18m.

I'll knock it down to 700 if anyone's interested. Making some room for other hobbies, but don't worry, I still have way too many kites. ;)

BeamerBob - 3-12-2018 at 10:59 AM

I just bought a like new 12m shipped from Finland for under $300.

Smeagol - 3-12-2018 at 04:32 PM

Dang, are they that cheap now? Guess I'll just keep it. Maybe I'll actually use it one day. :o

Snake - 3-12-2018 at 10:21 PM

I don't think they are worth that little, you just got a good deal. There was a 12m with a bar that just went for $350 on eBay, and another 12m with a bar went for a tad over $400 during the summer. And I thought those were deals. The have been quite a few phantom and charger II's hovering around the $500-$600 mark, but it seems like they rarely sell. I'd say they are worth about that much, but the market for arcs is almost no exisistant, so no one can find a buyer. It seems the only way to unload them is to almost give them away. Maybe ask a bit less and sit on it awhile and you may find a buyer.
