Fair price for a 10m synergy


Came across a lightly used 10m PL synergy and wanted to get an idea of what a fair price would be for the kite only

I offered the seller $300+shipping. He'll go $380 shipped, saying like-new synergy's are rare. I currently have a 10m charger 1. Would the difference between the charger and synergy be substantial enough to warrant the switch? I'm looking for added stability and slower speed, something the synergy seemed to have an advantage over the charger 1

Synergy's are like a big pillow. Enough difference AR wise to be more stable and slower across the window for sure. Counter at $350 shipped and I think you are still getting a decent deal. The used kite market was a lot higher a couple years ago on ARCs.

10m Syns are like gold. ;) Especially after the Charger scared the pants off everyone. When was the last time anyone was selling a Syn around here?

If it's in good shape $350 is a steal IMO taking into account how nice that kite flies. Very much like a Venom 2 but with a turn rate close to the Charger if you muscle it but w/o the Charger "twitch" when you don't. The Arc market has been so devalued in the states the last few years but there are some kites out there worth paying for. Synergies are one of them.

Thanks for the input guys! After some back and forth, we came to an agreement at $350. It will be 3 weeks before I see it though, it just so happens that his son lives in the same city as me and will bring it back with him in the new year. Very excited to say the least :)

I traded my 10m Charger straight across for a 10m Synergy and have no regrets. Possibly my only regret is that a rarely get winds to fly it in. It's a high wind kite !

The Charger in 10m was not my cup of tea. The issues weren't as big an issue in the largest sizes.
