If the holes and repairs aren't too significant and don't affect flying too much and the lines aren't worn out, then yes. Sounds like a good deal
unless there are negatives you haven't mentioned.

Ditto to what Bob said - KO $400 would be a good price if the kite was in great shape - a few pinholes, $370, a repair $340, missing spars $260, kite
ripped in half and called 2 9.5m's $0.
If you really want an arc then I'd pull the trigger on that deal - keep in mind if your using it on land it will be a serious handful around 15mph
winds - on water 12mph is when it would start getting fun.
we all believe is called the expansion

the 19 would be ideal for water, though... i weigh 190 and thats my experience
anything over 15 mph on land, and the 19's got to go

I'm going to assume that because you said bar, it's going to come with the lines as well. If everything is in good shape...no rips, tears or repairs
or if the repair was very minor, then yes, $400 sounds like a good deal...

You may find this a bit big and slow turning for a 1st arc. It sounds like a good price. Just be aware that smaller and newer arcs are faster so the
experience will only get better.

Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.

If someone has a used 15 synergy let me know before i pull the trigger on this......I see Dino has a new 12 real cheap, but summer winds here are
usually 12-18 mph......
