Let me start off by making it clear this is not my usual type of used kite sale. I haven't spent any real time on this kite and know very little about it beyond it's condition.

I have a random 2014 Rapace Condor 12m that I took as a trade in. The person that owned it had little foil experience and never warmed up to flying it. So it never got any reasonable use. No bar or lines, just the kite and a pack. I don't really know much about the kite beyond the fact that it's 12m, made of UL material, has some interesting features like snag free pulleys, huge dust outs etc...

I've only static flown it a couple of times. Turns fast for a 12m, like Summit or Frenzy fast, bar pressure is nice. Kite has a ton of lift, very smooth and floaty. Doesn't seem to like sudden shifts in wind direction. To be fair, I just threw it onto a bar and flew it. I didn't try to tune the bar to the kite so I'm reserving judgement on gusty handling. Reviews all seem to state it handles gusts well.

The kite is in near new condition. Just trying to clear out the spare kite pile before winter hits. I was tempted to hang onto it, see how she flies, but I really don't think I'll have time and there is probably someone out there who needs a 12m foil for short $$$.

The bar that comes with it is very similar to the Peter Lynn Navigator bar for an idea of what bars might be a good fit without much fuss.

If you are in the market for a 12m kite that packs down small and flies in light winds and want something outside the normal stuff we see here in the states, this might be a good fit for you. The pic provided is of the kite when I flew it the other day. It is in 10/10 shape, nearly brand new.
