What's it Worth?

Hi all
I have not been on here for years as do not get the time to fly anymore due to my kids being into bmx racing.
Anyway I need to raise some funds to put towards a new bike for my son so I have decided to sell one of my kites but do not know what it's worth.
It is a Flexifoil Sabre 2 7mt. Pretty much mint condition and only flown 4 times. Complete with lines bar bag and instructions in Rasta colour. Any help to give me an idea of what to ask for it would be appreciated

I'd think $300 - 350 shipped for a kite of that genre. There were two different bars for the Sabre (one had a v-hole and the other an o-hole I believe). The bar was modified after release to address line binding issues when turning aggressively. v-hole (or whatever they called it) would be more desirable.

To some the kite may be worth more as it is a capable kite with Flexi quality and the last depower foil they made.

That being said, kites of that era typically sold for $100-125 per meter when new and generally depreciate by 50% the moment they left the factory so that gets me to the $300 - 350 range +/- depending upon actual condition of lines, sail, bar, collectability, etc.
