Last time i saw one for sale was on another forum, racekitesdotcom. They had three up for sale last may, but I haven't spent much time there ever
since they lost their database a while back.
I guess you've already tried posting want ads on some of the bigger european forums and bumping them for a few weeks? maintaining a close watch on
ebay / CL?
here's a low wind kite thread from a few months back, might give you food for thought.... http://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=6035
Good luck...
fixed bridles, flying static, been two years now... ??? folks must be wondering....
sting 1.7, dp power 2.5, crossfire 3.2, ace 5, blade iv 6.5, ace 8, ace 12...
also a couple of arcs, 12 syn and 12 phanny, but i\'m not yet up to speed on them.

I believe Mac stopped making kites last year. If you really want one you will have look hard or go second hand.

Hey Sam,
I have another brand new never flown 600 that I would sell.
It is on the boat to Guam (with the rest of my household goods from the States) and it should be here in a few weeks.
They were left over stock from Mac Para.
The winds have been perfect here - it is killing me that I don't have my stuff yet!

I believe scudley's right here... I remember reaing several threads that talked about Mac Para and that they were getting out of the kite business. If
you really want one, you should probably jump on the one that secondwind has.
I hear theyre pretty good kites. Good luck to you.

If sam's not interested in the 600, I may be. I never use my 8.5 blade III and might be interested in moving that for the bego so I have the 400 and
600. Keep me in mind DaVinch if you are looking to sell that kite.

Sure will B-Roc 
Mac Para no longer makes the Begos. Once dialed in, they are sweet kites
