Is this site legitimate

So looking around for a used kite and I stumbled upon this european site that offers all demoed gear around 50% off. What I am really eyeing is an hq montana 9.5, it says demo/used and is 400 euros with roughly 30 euro shipping. I know it isn't a current version but it still seams like a great deal This is the link to the site http://kitebg.com/second-hand.html. Or do you know of any other places that have deals for a depower foil like that?

Make sure you pay with source that has buyer protection to get $ back if things go wrong...like PayPal or any credit card with buyer protection.

Bad link. Found the site though. Have no idea if legit or not.

FWIW if you are in the market for a Montana I'm selling a used Montana V that is in great shape and a heck of a lot less expensive than 400EU. Especially if you are concerned about purchasing from unknown online sellers.

400 Euros is way high for an original Montana. Shop with Feyd. You will get stuff well taken care of for a fair price.

The worth of euros has tanked so the conversion is not nearly as much as it used to be. But anyways I decided against using that site.

I am selling a HQ montana 2 in 9.5m its in very good condition may be used 4 or 5 times. asking 400 dollars. Im in nyc. And bye the way the site looks like a fraud its a typical sham website set up by shady characters in a foreign country that prey on certain markets its becoming very popular be carefull when u order from any foreign websites.
