Whats up with a kite market?
Today there was a SA II 19 for grabs for 1600$ at ebay, (now intouch with the guy to buy it of him)
then a pulse 2 10 meter for 775$
Two SA 17's for grabs.
Nobody is buying stuff,,, while price are all time low!
WOW!

BTW, I need Pulse 1 10-13 meter for my friend. Shes 120 pounds, Hopefuly that will get her going in 10 knots.

SecondWind has had a Bego for sale for quite some time too.

Back in the day that would have been snatched up in a minute.

Tough times to sell but good times to buy.

It is more an issue of timing right now. Before, people not considering a kite on their want list would pick one up on a whim. Now you have to be selling when someone else is buying or it just sits there. My Beamer III 3m sat on the block for weeks before a buyer came along. I figured it would have people lined up to buy it but no.

My ozone sammi sold within an hour earlier this week so you just never know.

At $125 for a Comp XL and no sale you KNOW there is trouble.
That is a poor mans 4.9 Blade and shouldn't have spent a single night for sale.

I'm afraid that if you need to sell your kites right now you better be ready to take a steep loss. Even on kites that used to hold their value !

It's SAD ! :dunno:
