Happy trades and transactions with Sparx64 and Furbowski . :singing:

Thanks!

Yep, agree...

Archkiter has been a pleasure to deal with so far.

It's going to be awhile before I see the kite as i am in Canada and it is in a drop box in US, but the transaction so far has been smooth and I'll be very surprised if there are any disappointments. I'm looking forwards to checking out its float and low wind performance, and also keen to start modding away on the thing. I'll get back to the forum when I've put a few hours on the thing. (8m Ace, kite only, nice and cheap!)

I never posted here -- no need, really -- about my transaction with Tridude a couple of months ago, also very smooth and the kite was mint as advertised. He's had so many good endorsements here I was completely confident during the sale. The kite was a flexi B IV 6.5, and I bought it because I wanted a world-class kite to compare my pansh quiver against. It's beaut, and I'll be years learning how to get the best out of that kite, it's going to take that long for my skills to catch up!

Very cool guys to deal with.

I ordered my 07' Tabu harness last Thursday night and got a call this morning telling me that they did not have my size in stock anymore :Enter sad face here:

I thought they would just refund me my money and send me on my way but not these guys.

I spoke with Dave who said he was going to upgrade me to the 08' Tabu at no extra charge. Ok cool I thought. Well he tells me they dont have that one in my size either.

Ok what gives I thought. So Dave said he is sending out a 08 Dakine Kingpin COMPLETE!!! for the same price I paid for the 07' $100. Harness, pad and bar!

That right there is awesome customer service!

Oh and this was my first purchase there. Its not like Im a regular customer dropping $1000's there every year.

daaaaaaaaaaang!!!! SCORE!

YES,

Realkiteboarding have been around a long time and give fantastic service.

Their site is worth watching for all the demo / lesson gear they sell off cheap !

These folks should be put on the good seller list, FOrgiv3n !

I've read some less favorable things about their business practices (lawsuits, etc). Kind of like the Big Box Store of kites too aren't they.

Stick local when you can! And when you can't go local stick with your local FOPKF (friend of powerkiteforum)!

Well they are the only "local" kite shop we have around here..lol. Its about an hour drive. I havent been to their store down there but will be there in 2 weeks to check it out.

I've never bought anything from their on-line store, but visited their shop in Hatteras 3 or 4 times last summer. I wasn't impressed. The staff, from the manager on down, was a bunch of jerks, snobs and clearly didn't value my business. The other kiting shops, in contrast, couldn't have been nicer. Although their on-line business might be OK, my visits to the shop left me with a bad enough impression that I'd never spend a nickel there.

Wow thats a complete 180 from what I experienced today Now I feel like a shmuk telling you guys how nice they were :puzzled:

they scraped a kiteboard to someone I know while trying to fix it last spring.

they offered a brand new Jimmy Lewis Model 3

not bad !

My only experience was a used 4.5 Bullet online. It was a good deal. Sorry to here about the staff having attitude.

did this thread get moved??? or is it just me... wasnt this the first thread in the for sale section?

michaelt - bought spleene Rip 34 from him and he shipped it 2day fed ex. board looks great thanks michaelt!

powerzone

close friend of mine:

bought 2 kites and a bunch of various other gear from him, very respectable prices and really knows flysurfer kites inside and out

domdino

bought his silverarrow, great guy. shipping took a little while but that's mainly because it was shipped across the country. I was very pleased with the kite and transaction in general!

DAKITEZ - Bought handles and killers from him at a great price. Really took care of me. We used Paypal.

jrw32 - Bought a 5m Ace from him. I got a killer deal. Great guy to deal with also. We used Paypal.

Beamerbob - Bought a HQ Symphony from him. Got another good deal on a product from the forums here. I sent him a personal check so we could avoid the PP fees.

domdino again !

for my new toy Pulse2 8m

stevep just shipped me a kite that was in brand new shape. nice guy, owns a kiteshop in florida (dont think he does powerkites, though... i think he said something about being able to get them, maybe). Great kite, great pice, good guy.

Sorry if any of this info is incorrect.

More kudos to DaKitez. Bought some handles and lines from him. Super friendly guy & fast shipping.

Gotta put DaVinch on this list again while its up here at the top. Just a top caliber guy to deal with and one of this forum's greatest assets.

Great kite for a great price and even a surprise when I opened the box!

I give him.............

Thanks kiteNH - hope you enjoy the kite! Thanks for a smoooth transaction

Another one to DaVinch....

I've now purchased/traded about 5 or 6 kites with him...kites were delivered quickly and if there was a delay on the distribution end (out of his control), he would always provide me with updates.

One of the most honest and likeable guys I've ever met!

He'll definitely keep getting my business!

Thanks Joe!

cheers to domdino, 5 starts +.

Props to Domdino, BigKahuna, Bladerunner, Pablo, USA_Eli_A and Powerzone - all great people to deal with!

lunchbox is a top-notch seller. Very detailed information on the kite, and obviously wanted to make sure I was happy with the purchase... I am. Thanks lunchbox.

Thanks for the nice comments Dylan...Glad to hear you're enjoying the kite!

Yup, same here - Lunchbox is great to deal with
