I noted the same add on e bay last week.Out of curiousity I looked
at the sellers selling history .Two bidders it seems had been refused
the kites after winning the bid . I asked the seller wether he would with draw the item from sale if the bidding did not, in his opinion
reach a fair price.His reply was that he tried to put a $1400 reserve
on them but did not know how.

Think he should have taken the $900
offer. Have sold and bought kites on e bay, seems to work ok.Suppose
it's the old story "buyer beware"

The new buy and sell spot here
looks good,easy to use for us not so computer literate types.Sold
a 16mtr there couple of weeks ago.
