Now that the bug has been sold, I have the rest to clear out, so:

Apex II - 10m, has previous owner repair, flys fine, super rare
Apex II - 7.5m, in great condition, I'd say 9/10
Apex II - 5.0m, professional repair, cant find it unless its pointed out, flys great 8.5/10

Kites come with bags, all like new, bars (3) + (1) brand new line set, all for $1000, and I'll throw in a Dakine Nitrous
board-short harness and Dakine spreader bar, shipping and Paypal at buyers expense.

Also I have 3 Bigfoot (Nanco) tires mounted on PL std. wheels, so Bigfoot lights, one wheel is missing 1 bearing (20mm) and the spacer, the other two are complete (12mm).

PL Bigfoot Front End
PL Kinked Downtube
PL Comp XR Buggy seat
PL siderail pads

$500 for tires and buggy stuff, I'll back out $20 for the missing bearing, so $480 for all, again shipping and Paypal at buyers expense,

I dont want to part this out yet, gives someone a great opportunity to purchase sets of now non available gear, anyways let me know, pickup in the greater Monterey, Ca. is also available (or even preferred :-) Thanks for looking.

Note the discoloration on the downtube pic is aluminum tape I applied to keep the sand out.

So here is what is for sale:

OK, the guy who bought the buggy, decided not to take the extras, so I've decided to part it out as follows:

Kites - $350 /ea. shipping and Paypal at buyers expense, or if you take all 3 its $1000 and I'll include the harness, spreader bar, extra new line set and I found a leash which Ill throw in.

XR buggy seat and siderail pads - $120, shipping etc. same as above

Nanco bigfoot tires w/ Peter Lynn wheels - $180 shipping again as above

PL Bigfoot forks and kinked downtube - $225, same shippin, PP

Your welcome to pick up anything locally in the greater Monterey Bay area as well. Thanks for looking.

So here it goes -

$900 for all of the kites and kite related items (harness, spreader bar, leash, etc.) Shipping and PP on buyer

$450 for all of the buggy related items, shipping as above

I've got a new 32' sailboat that needs parts that I need to buy, so come and get some great non available parts for your buggy, or a matched quiver of depower kites with extras, maybe I'll even consider a further deal for all, let me know, Thanks

I guess I've come to the conclusion, its just really hard to sell anything here unless your giving it away, I came to revisit this and lower the pricing, but I realize there is really no where to go with it, I mean $180 for Bigfoot tires with wheels?, $300/ea. for a matched 3 kite quiver of depower kites w/ extra line set and harness ? (yeah there not current, but the fly just as goo as they did when they were new)

I can go $200 for the unobtainable Bigfoot front end and kinked downtube.

I must just be out of touch, been doing this for 10-11 years now, just kind of too bad that Ebay is the only outlet for this gear anymore

Unfortunately Ebay or facebook is probably your best bet. There's only five or ten of us in here and that includes the two dogs and the neighbors gerbil. Forums died when social media took over so there just isn't anyone here for the most part. You'll probably get more exposure on the other sites. Maybe someday forums will see a resurgence.

I liked (not Facebook liked) your response

I guess pinball would have been a better hobby to invest in. Not many people left kiting on land. I paid $200 Canadian for a MINT ApexII 7.5 almost 5 years back. I might take the 5m if you do decide to "give" it away.:dunno:

$200 CAD, you already got a kite for almost free :-)

I really miss forums (FlexiFoil, RaceKites, GWTW, Silverfish, etc.). They were such great repositories of information and culture and they are all but gone. I'm not on FB or IG so I'm really out of touch. often wonder what I'll do with my kites if I sell them. Just looked at ebay, craigslist, etc. and barely a foil to be seen, let alone one that is reputable. Remember back in the day when you could build a collection by selling and buying up?? Man, how times have changed.

I chose not to switch over to facebook on princible.
Because I have no friends

I don't like to follow the crowds or do things that are common or popular. Which is why I'm here.

There is however a thriving marketplace run by Popeyethewelder with new stuff being bought and sold daily. Lots of interesting things come up. While I think it's more European based, it might be worth a look.

Long live PKF! and extremekites

I'm with you guys - I miss reading all the posts on this forum and the old RaceKites & Foilzone forums.

The iKitesurf classifieds were recently taken down due to so many scammers. I didn't have any luck buying a kite there anyway - they all turned out to be scams...

I resemble that remark

And I'm extremely grateful for it every single day

PS It looks like all seven of us showed up for this thread..... that's pretty good,,,, nice job everyone

I wish I had this much response when actually trying to sell my gear :-) looks like most of you have been around here for a while, PKF should have a forum for 10+ year members, check the I.D. at the door :-)

I probably should have known better. The deals (mostly Flysurfer foils) were too good to be true!
