3m quad-line for newcomer

Hi
So I've been told this is the place to come for help.

I'm looking for a 3m, quad line to get started on. I live in the UK, Coventry area and don't really want to spend more than £80, to begin with.

Is there anyone that can help a sister out?

That's going to be tight....

Currently...

There are some Ozone Flows (great kites) selling on KiteCrowd.

The thread is here:
http://forum.kitecrowd.com/sale/ozone-flows-full-set-cheap-2...
----------------------------------------------------------
2m - Good condition - £75
3m - Good condition - £85
3m - average - has had a "home repair" on trailing edge - flies well - £75

But that's KITES ONLY
Postage is £4.95 for kites only

Handles and 25m lines - £30 (when bought with kite)

Postage for kite with bar/handles is £10
----------------------------------------------------------

A little bit closer to your mark is a 2.5 PKD Century that's being sold here:
http://forum.kitecrowd.com/sale/kite-sale-209290.html

Description:
2.5 PKD Century: Well used but still flys great and pulls hard. bought this second hand, it had a few pin holes in the canopy when i got it but these do not affect its performance. Blue with gold soulfly. £70 kite only +p&p

Also have two handle and line sets that i would be willing to include with any of the kites for an extra £10 each

2 x 20m line sets, used
2 x handles, used

So that's meets your £80 if you don't mind paying for shipping and a little wear on the kite.

ATB,
Sam

I have a Prism Stylus 2.8 like new with 75 foot lines and handles you could have for that price.
Your shipping costs may be prohibitive, however. Not much weight, nor a large package, but I have no idea what it costs to get something to the UK from Florida.
It's a great flying kite, but at 2.8 meters, a bit smaller than the 3.0 you were seeking.
Oh, and you can fly it as a two line (never did that) or four line kite.
