The bigger question is.... can you afford to be wrong

Its an 09' kite he'd know if hes used it - wouldnt you !

I looked at buying a kite of Buzz.. had great contact with him. even talked to him on the phone. I was sceptical but he gave me references in Sydney.. just contact him lotofwind.. he will put you mind at ease..

how the hell do you get a kite back in the plastic after its used?

serious

it would be damn hard!

My point exactly.......then again,I have a garage full of 09 kites still in the plastic that Im not sure if I have flowen yet.And now have about 6 new 2010 kites piled ontop of them so I will probably never know.

If you have that many kites in you garage why are you looking for a used 09 Crossbow? Rampant consumerism man... Or maybe you can give some of those 09 kites you will never fly to me...

^^^^^^^I think lostinlondon was also taking the pi$$

Definitely not taking the piss ... I took the 9mtr to Sumbawa last Oct - thought I'd used it a couple of times there before i did my ribs in (used a 9 there the year before) ~ I had 2 other new kites with me as well ~ living in Samui I have never flown a 9mtr here - my size and the wind just don't blow that hard... and then the first trades blow of the season and I did my ribs in again ... so, i really didn't get into my quiver at all ...

If I hadn't done my ribs in I wouldn't be selling a brand new kite ! Wanted to try the new IDS in XBows and SB's that's all, and why not if i get 'em at a good price - took a risk and bought 5 ~ being aware I can always hopefully get my money back on 'em selling second hand ... wouldn't any other kiter do the same ?

And no, sorry lotawind they don't do COD outa thailand - checked last year when I sent a couple of second-hand kites to Sunshine coast.

Looking at Buzz's profile he is an East Coast Aussie boy so maybe he can send the kite to a mate of his and if local you pay cash otherwise his local guy COD's it to you.

Should have left all the original posting up to let people see how this panned out to what looks like a possible happy ending.

Like closing the china shop door after the bull has left mate.

Perhaps you need to do a bit more to clear his rep up a bit ey?

A bit more discretion next time perhaps?

Not sure if that colour lippy suits you Buzz.

was thinking the same thing GF, now you mention it !

The message I sent after he asked me to pull my post asking if it was legit or not.

Hey buzz,
sorry mate,was not saying it IS a scam,just wanted others opinions that had bought off you.
I have deleted all my posts but cant delete others.Was not trying to reck your cred on this forum.
I have received alot of private messages,most saying "let me know how you go buying of him as I have been keen to buy one of his kites but decided not to because of not sure if its a scam or not"
One of the members suggested that you could send it to one of your mates here in OZ,then he sends it COD to me.
Would that be ok?
If all goes good I will send messges back to the crew that are considering buying but are not sure if you are legit and post on the forum telling all is good.

Sorry if I have pissed you off,wasnt trying to make you out to be a rip off merchant,was hopeing for alot of responds saying you were all good.

If it all works out well,I will do all I can to make sure the seabreeze crew hears about it.
Cheers
Glenn

but no responds.

I dont think there was anything wrong with my original post asking if it was legit or not??????
How else can you find out without asking others advise on here,only deleted it because Buzz was worried about it.

Keepya knickers untwisted lotowind.

I think there could have been a bit more delicacy about the method/wording of your posts. Put yaself in cherry-red Buzz's shoes. Sh!t tends to stick remember.

Also a bit of detective work wouldn't go astray before posting before all n sundry. Most of the scammers wouldn't have 190 odd posts under their belts for instance...

Yaaaawwwwnnn... so didya get the frkn kite or what?

I'd settle for $999

1/2 of my posts (conservatively estimated) are bollocks but I aint dodgy - just stoopid.

he hasnt responded??????
Yeah I saw over 100 posts but that really dosnt mean much,was just after someone to say."yeah I know him,or,yeah I have bought off him" but noone has.

Besides GF,you have well over 1000 posts but after looking at your avatar pic I wouldnt send you $1000

when did you message him? if it was days ago like I think it was, and he hasn't responded, then me thinks he is probably a scammer. The fact he is replying on this thread is an attempt to appear legit to any other potential victims. I hope I am wrong about Buzz, but It all seems a bit too good to be true.

Still waiting for my $999..
