sabre price?


sorry i didnt know where to put this, but i thought u guys would have th best idea, how much should i sell my sabre 7m for? its got one repair but apart from that its in good condition, flys perfect.
it is the only kite i have atm, although i do use a blade III 4.9 and 6.6 aswell. is it worth selling the sabre? if so what is a good choice for a kite? i am landboarding and want to start doing tricks,

Man, i would hang on to it.... i LOVE the 7m sabre in 20mph or more wind! Fixed bridle kites like blades get a bit much in that kind of wind but i've used a 7 meter in 35mph before! Depowerability is amazing, lift is amazing - you will definitely get some good tricks out in the higher end of the wind scale!

You don't explain why you want to sell it. As mentioned a de-powerable 7m should be a very usefull kite. Besides the added safety of de-power on demand you will be able to use this kite in a much wider wind range.
I love my 7m bullet but am often disapointed with the limited wind range I can use it in. Same thing to a lesser degree with my smaller fixed bridles. I've been out on many a gusty / variable day when my kite was perfect, then underpowered, then overpowered all within 5 minutes. Those are the days the de-power pays off !
I'm guessing that you haven't had enough time on this kite to bring out the best it and you have.

If you do sell the kite. Post a picture of the repair. With out seeing it people will be scared off. With bar and lines you could probably get about $300 ?????? I'm guessing.

i bought it for £250 second hand, i have flown it in strong winds and had great sessions with it, but its got to be about 12mph for me to get it up, i think i will spend my money on a board atm, cos i am using my friends and i dot want to dammage his.

Yeah, low wind on them isn't that hot, if you're in the sub 10mph, you're better off with a fixed bridal.
