Are these kites worth anything?
So I haven't been using either of these kites and am thinking of posting them in the for sale section, but I would like to know at least roughly what
they are worth.
First is a PL core 4.0, flown 3 or 4 times, perfect condition, with lines, handles, kite killers, stake, and backpack, plus anything else it would
have come with. The fabric is crispy, no dirt or stains, like new. I believe this one is from the last year they were made, it is dark grey with green
and yellow.
Second is a pansch ace 6.0, white and red, older version, rtf with really long lines (not sure exactly) somewhat used, but in fine condition, no
tears, wear or abuse.
I will take them out and take some pictures if necessary.
Thanks for any advice! Look for them in the FS section soon.

For those trying to picture what the Core looks like in that color scheme:

Cores are AWESOME IMHO.... I have a 4m Core that looks exactly like the above pic posted by Indigo... Super fast and super stable. As for the value,
I'm not sure. I had a 5.1m version of the first run in different colors. I sold it for $325 I think. So depending how old it is... I imagine in as
good condition as you say it is, you can probably get between $200 and $300 maybe... Not sure though.
As for the Ace... I can't speak to that. I do know that Pansh kites are not as valuable because they are less expensive new.
I'm going to take a nap now

The ace is NOT A NEWBIE KITE. I can't stress this enough. It can and will hurt you. In the right hands it could be used like a FF blade ,just not as
good of a kite. It might be worth $150-200 to the right person. But don't sell it to a newbie.

This is thread that should be referenced when you are considering selling a 6M Ace to anyone.

Thanks for the advice guys!! The core was so smooth and easy and that ace just beat me up! I was hoping to get a buggy, but I just can't, so I'll sell
the both of them and keep my Smithi.
