Vero Glide yz-1950
Anybody here ever use one of these buggies? I'm not in the market for a buggy, but I've just never heard of the name before. Almost has a Flexifoil
look to it? At 29lbs it just doesn't sound very heavy duty to me.

Run away.... as if all the hosts of Hades and their nameless demon spawn were after you and your dog on an unmarked road under a moonless sky. Run
as if you life and soul were in peril.
Don't stop until you are behind oak-bolted doors. Don't rest easy until crucifixes, garlic and wolfsbane are hung from all the doors and windows.
A quick Google search should set all your Spidey senses a tingling.
ATB,
Sam

Different name, same game.
Kind of annoying how this is facilitated by not only eBay, but Amazon.

He is rockersrule4ever now on ebay. This thread was #5 on a google search. If people just search for it for more info, they will find us here. If
they are shopping for a kite buggy, them finding us is great on many levels.
As for the buggy, its the same as the "Flex foil" he was selling before. Same junk, same lame stories about having a baby again, needing a minivan
AGAIN. But this buggy has only been raced a few times. Since there have been no races in the US, he must've raced in Europe. Rip you see him last
year?

Yeah, suspicous is what I felt right away. I've read enough about Jonesband to know that he would never get a shred of business from me. Don't
worry, I have no interest in a buggy for a long time. I would do it right the first time and get my self an Ivanpah or something from a reputable
dealer on the forum.
Don't people know when to just quit, but then you have to have some kind of rational thinking or morals to do that. Gee wiz.

The real sad thing is the price. I was expecting 300 or 400 US$ but its 795$ :o new and 500$ for a refurb. I would get a peterlynn comp or a libre
vmax for these prices and they would last a lot longer.

Hi,
Look at the price that we are selling them at. It is much higher than what is being sold anywhere else. If anyone buys it from our website, we
simply order it from your distributors. Thank you.

Proving that you CAN live on a different planet and still have your email delivered to Earth. They aren't even remotely kidding about the higher
pricing.... like by a factor of two.
What's weird is that they also list the Libre Sprinter and Libre VMax II on their site. Both buggies are also listed at higher prices than most other
sites.
ATB,
Sam

Ricardo, great job giving this guy some pressure! I think he needs it. We just had a local store in our mall get shut down and owners got arrested for
selling tons of knockoffs! Not kites, but clothing. They plan to burn the guys inventory after conviction!
Total scammers for sure!

i really don't see the point of this guys business
so you see overpriced items, so you keep browsing and browsing until you come upon Competition Buggies. Than you think oh, i can get this "so-call
competition buggy" cheaper than anything else on this website.
is that a new selling tactic now-a-days.
the new SEO, jack up prices on everything you don't carry, lower the prices on items you just want to move.
again, don't buy kites from him, its a generic price, and doesn't give you the size / colour / or any details.
basically S C A M ---- A L E R T!!!!
