What's this worth? - Trade Complete

Wed Jan 21, 2004 9:00 pm

Hi guys, a couple of people have expressed an interest in buying my Surprise UL, but I don't know what to sell for. The kite was new a month or so ago, but I've since managed to break a LLE (3PT - would cost £7.50 to replace).

original price was $212 Euros, or about £150 at the time. I'd be interested to know what people would be prepared to pay or swap, so I can decide whether to sell it or not.

cheers, Jim

For the sake of completeness...

Got the Impact today (after a long voyage by sea). Steve (SKB on GWTW) sent it surface mail by accident.

He's a top bloke to do business with, and as well as the kite (which seems in good nick) he included a set of 140lbx100ft berry blue lines with straps, a good quality groundstake, a "Kite connection" Baseball cap, a canadian kite flier's assocaiation badge, and stuck lots of little helpful hints all over the bridle and standoffs to explain the different settings.

Top guy to do business with!

glad to hear you finally got it Jim. I bet it was like being a kid at christmas opening the package. Hope to see it in the sky soon.

Had it out for a bit tonight after work - was surprised how little wind it took to fly - was up and cruising in 7mph with half-vent setting, even less with the top vents fully blocked. Seems nice and stable on it's front and back, with plenty of float and pitch which made flic-flacs and backspins a dream. Even managed to change direction of backspins at will, which I've never done before. So far, so good, now lets see how it behaves when the wind gets up.... :D
