how much is a speed 17m worth?


I'm debating picking one of these up. just curious what people think a kite like this is worth these days assuming its in good shape.

I think one sold for $800 recently, which had the 1.5 mod but didn't have FDS... so i guess 8-900 would be decent if it has the whole kit :)
Coincidently, my silverarrow is for sale :)

yeah I saw you have a silverarrow up forsale. I was actually trying to trade John my P2 for his because the 12m is in a bit of a weird spot for the types of wind we get here. usually its either really light or a storm blowing 20+ and during the summer it basically stays below 17mph the entire time. so I'd love to get my hands on a silver arrow but i can't really bring myself to spend $1400 on a kite right now. even though it is the answer to what I'm looking for. lol

what are you planning on replacing the SA with?

there are afew different 1.5 mods out there... you'd have to know who did the mod and how they did it to know if its any good. our version also includes an FDS. we've seen some other mod versions and they did not work very well and need quite a bit of tuning to fly good. the old blue rotor safety does not work... the FLS is not reccommended for that canopy, so the FDS is the best safety for the 1.5mod.

we've sold several 13m speeds for over $750 which we've modded, so id say a pre-modded 17m is around $700 and then add $200 for the mod.
