toby wilson 07-26-2006 09:49 PM

Yeah, you can ride it if you buy it!!! :lol:

inferno 07-26-2006 09:56 PM

toby wilson 07-26-2006 10:49 PM

Sure, for a deposit of a mere $700...

tomstock 07-27-2006 10:31 AM

Never seen a used C kite sell for more than $400 on ebay.

$550 and reserve not met? Maybe, if you are lucky and the planets align correctly during an ebayer's late night drunk!

toby wilson 07-27-2006 01:06 PM

I saw a 20.5 sell for $650 last week...$600 with a bar and lines???

I think you are probably referring to kite only good buddy...

tomstock 07-27-2006 03:36 PM

On ebay?

toby wilson 07-27-2006 05:51 PM

Yup.

tomstock 07-27-2006 06:45 PM

NAh...

Skyway Scott 07-27-2006 07:05 PM

I sold my 20m for $150 :shock: and it was basically mint.
20m kites are now a thing of ancient history. Keep them as souvenirs or better yet, tents! :o

tomstock 07-27-2006 08:18 PM

sad but true... I think I paid $250 for my 21m, I'd be lucky to get $200 for it.

toby wilson 07-28-2006 12:35 AM

This isn't a BEST Nemesis 21 Meter kite with a flying penis on it Tom. It is a Slingshot Machine my friend!!! Just kidding... :P

It wasn't a Liquid Force kite, it was a 20.5 Meter Machine...I saw it out there just recently, couldn't give you an exact date but about a week or 1 1/2 weeks ago.

BigR 07-28-2006 05:57 AM

do the test , put it up for sale at $650 on e bay



I'm a thinkin' ypu won't even get a single bid for it

big c kites are impossible to sell for any money, they instantly deflate
200% in value when you buy one new ( esp. the bigger they are )

New...

toby wilson 07-28-2006 01:22 PM

Naish 8, 10, & 14...a full quiver? And a Slingshot Drake? hmmm. Not the quiver I would buy even if I DID weigh 100 lbs... :lol:

And the seller probably had it listed on Ikite or windguru and sold it there so ended the auction...why so negative on this subject?

BTW, I bought this kite USED sometime in March for $800...bow kites were already out then too... :wink:

Skyway Scott 07-28-2006 02:29 PM

I am eating cheetos

Skyway Scott 07-28-2006 08:46 PM

It was cool to ride with Josh, Matt, Dr. Bruce and of course the local gang.
It just got windier, and windier and windier til sunset. 8)
The tide was ripping out for a few hours, so basically Josh got to ride the best we get (in the summer).

The tide was kinda low and the sandbars were exposed, but I didn't see him eat sh#$ on one. Good for him. My first time at low tide I nailed one at full speed :x

Scottie, when can I visit? I am jealous just like about 70 other locals here...

Skyway Scott 07-29-2006 08:49 AM

I kind of understand, but trust me, I miss more days than I ride :?
Yesterday was real good though.

Skyway Scott 07-29-2006 02:50 PM

Oh man... it's picking up again :?
Do I HAVE to demo equipment again?
