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

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

Gday lotofwind, I was going to buy a 10m Cabrinha SB IDS from the guy at the start of this year sometime. He emailed me back in a similar worded way to the email you have posted up. Appart from his excuse was different for the kite being brand new. He said that he buys lots of kites every year at mates rates and that he didnt get to use them because of an injury. I left it and didnt proceed to buy the kite. I couldn't afford (like all of us) to potentially throw that much money away.

Hope that helps.

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.

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?

I still dont know anything about his rep,thats what I was asking on this post.
I only posted ASKING if anyone has bought of him or if it was a scam????/
Still dont know??.

Most of the responds and PMs I have received have been,NO WAY DONT DO IT.

I only deleted my post on buzzs request in a PM because he was stressed about his rep on seabreeze.

Have sent him a message to mail it to a mate in Aussie then COD from there,
No responds.

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


-----Original Message-----




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?

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

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.

OK here goes: I'm one of the Col's from the Sunshine Coast mentioned earlier. Bought a 12m Switchy off Buzz last year and after several emails asking questions I didn't hesitate in buying off him. Kite arrived within a week with no problems. Brand new, well packaged and I saved heaps - yeah I know I should be supporting my local shop etc. etc. but I've bought enough kiting equipment locally and still do, so I don't feel guilty. Peace.

Thank you Col ...

(by the way that kite was a 2008 SB that Col asked me to see if I could find end of season - closeouts - (I think they are called) last of the last bunch

Some of you other guys obviously didn't read my post about sale of a kite to the other Col on Sunshine Coast.

(Maybe won't post any more ads if i have to go thru this each time !)
