He brought the phantoms to wwbb this spring, and like he said they are in amazing shape. Bid witj confidence, hes a great seller. I think if he even thoight of ripping someone off the entire easy coast kite crew would have his head

Thx Adam! I am sure you are right about having my head.. I like to stay on the Honest side as I get a little upset :flaming: when people try or do screw me.
It makes me want to put them in the hospital but you know karma is a "Mean #@%$#!" and she does make it come back around.

To all,
Thank you for looking at buying this kite but no one is even close to the price I am looking for (other than one :smug: ). Most people are telling me that this is not the correct time to sell as the money is "tight" right now.
I will continue to sell the kite but I do not see it going anywhere this week? If you are interested in purchasing it in the near future just U2U me and we can talk. I will be at WBB and if it has not sold by then I will have it with me.

BTW the kite has the zippers in the middle not on the sides. Also the bar is a 40CM bar and the lines/bar are in new condition other than a small scratch on the carbon fiber.

Chad

Do they not make these kites anymore?

no, but they are coming out with the Phantom II first part of 2012.

No they do not. The synergy replaced this kite

chad .. here's a solution .. just give me the kite. See how much stress you just got off your chest?

I have it !

I will act as your broker. You can send the kite to me! I am willing to hold on to it and deal with offers.

Be SURE I will hold on for a price that is much higher than you will give in at ! :D

( Joking) or am I ?

DO
WANT
!!!!!

why dont you just post the price you want and see who might be willing to pay it?... i havent bid because i dont really like this type of sale, and i would be willing to bet there are others here that feel the same way... despite my long term lust for a 9m phantom, i wouldnt want to offer what might be an inflated value, and my first inclination in a sale like this is to go way too low to protect that...

what im sayin is, maybe if you post a price, you will get some more bites...

Dylan, I like to see how people value their kites. It gives me an indication of how they plan on treating the kite (just me i guess). I know what I paid for this kite and I am sure most people think it is HIGH but not excessive or over inflated. I paid $500 and I am willing take that. I really do not want to get rid of it but I have a lot of over lap and the wind in my area does not get that high very often. The reason I did it like this was to give the people that know what it is worth and will respect it first dibs. If I just put out there (o' by the way I want 500 bucks) every one and their mother will ask to purchase it. So I chose to be a little secretive and see who was really interested. Low and behold know one really wanted to pay. the funny thing was 18M phantoms 6 months ago were a hot item and were fetching 450 + but a 9M is a lot harder to find in great shape and no one is even coming close. See I am not looking for bites, I want someone who really wants the kite thats more important to me.
:puzzled: Just says something?


Thx

Chad

Great way of looking at it for sure Chad, We all know these are becoming more rare by the day! Heck they don't even want to float them across the pond to us these days!

I'm not sure I agree with your assumptions about what you hoped to glean from the bids. I even explained this in my bid. There are probably 3 prices to consider.

What might I get it for?
What is it really worth?
What is an amount I'm sure would win me the auction?

My bid was somewhere between 1 and 2. Another interested party asked me what #3 was and I was within $25 of what you paid for it. You probably have 8-10 people giving you bids and yet probably only 1 that has approached what you are hoping for, if anyone got that high. So what I bid wasn't even quite what I thought it was worth and over $100 from what I thought it would bring from the 1 top paying bidder. I imagine most buyers except the most emotionally motivated bidder offered between (their) #1 and 2 like I did, and therefore didn't actually show how much they respected the kite. I think anyone sending you a bid knows what you have and highly respects how rare it is.

I think if you had asked for $525 right up front, that 1 emotionally motivated buyer would've paid your price and still would.

I paid $400 for mine. Kite only and COVERED in playa dust... I think your asking price for a RTF kit is quite fair...

I didn't even get a bag...

BB it just so happens that you were the one person that I was talking about that came close?
I only received 3 u2u and you were the highest but I was asking for a private bid , meaning the highest you would go and feel comfortable. As it is a private bid you only get one bid? So my assumption is you gave your highest. We all have our little quirks. Sorry I just wanted to try something new to put a little spin on trying to be a little more fair. This does tell me a lot even if other people don't see it. I respect your opinion as everyone is raised different. From the time I took off the bidding I have had three times the offers and all above what I paid. So now the question is how to determine the one who gets it? I can go by highest pay, first come first serve, or just pick my favorite? This is what I was trying to eliminate but failed in my attempt.

Chad

Chad .. you are hard headed .. I told you the solution is just give it to me for free .. no hassle with highest bidder ;-)

Van if I thought you could use it I would have but you know you don't get that kind of wind down there. Lol

hehe .. we do get high wind but I'm too scare to use the phanny in that kind of wind ...haha . The 10m Scorpion already kick my butt last time.

Hmmm. I figured there would be 5 or more bidders above my price. I even said that in my bid. You could also be dealing with timing. Many times when I've been selling a kite, it sells in hours, and other times with what I consider a very desirable kite at a great price, nothing. It lays there for days or weeks because of potential buyers financial situation. As rare and desirable as a 9m phanny is to many people, most people don't have a need for that kite and might use it once a year, and would be scared to go out when they needed it.

I guess you would just go with the highest bidder, and solve ties with first to submit.

I'll give you 750... RTF & with bag :D

That's me... Not so much the scared part but (well ok a little...) I'll wait for a well loved 9 with life left in it. I'm not particular about the condition because I'd only use it once in a while so I won't be wearing it out on grass 3 or 4 times a year at best.

Alright Pokite I could not get her true phone number but you can write her a letter and ask for it.
