Click on the following link and it takes you to what looks like the next noise kite. Only three struts and differernt shape.

Looks like someone stuffed up and pasted the wrong kite into the add. Will be interesting to see how long the website stays like this.

Still there. One question though, why is the trade in system only for europe?

Like fck ill be cutting my old kite up before the sale is complete!

why not donate to a kite school in a place where locals dont have the money to buy a kite, that way the locals get it for free and have someone teach them, anyone whos travelled to os destinations like png, madagascar, dr, sri lanka etc etc will tell you how the locals would love to get their hands on a kite, to cut one up is bollocks unless its a bws

Eppo
I dont reckon they actually want your old kite ...........

If you ( not you but generically) are stupid enogh to cut up a perfectly old but functional kite before you get your new one ?? then as said above WTF.

The way I read the offer is - if you are prepared to buy a BWS and PROVE you had an old kite to trash then BWS will honour the discount ( but you need to show you had an old kite and have trashed it?) - have i got this wrong??

Its kind of like the Harvey Norman et al deals where they say if you are prepared to trash your old fridge they will discount the one you buy ?? I dont quite follow the logic but apparently the marketing boffins have it all worked out - may be its a IQ thing??

Either way - had the chance to see some BWS kites in action at Merimbula over the last couple of weeks while on Holidays - I'm interested!!

Is this a joke thread? Am I getting baited here?

What is the reasoning behind this? It is a trade in they say? And yet you cut it in two?

I'm sure there is a reason behind this process, but I can't fathom why?

Does anyone whose more informed know why this seemingly bizarre process is in place?

Have I just took the bait?

its way to under cut your retailers without getting in trouble.

sneak peak!

RPMs are the wurst.

Anyone in WA can be sure their trade-in will be disposed of with full ceremonial honors at KSS.
Collecting quite a batch of freebies - all checked, repaired where needed etc etc to be passed on free to good needy homes.
Others respectfully stripped of any usable bits & pieces for the 'KSS charity shop wrecking yard'.
Dont cut em up - bring em in & do the deal locally.

Good on ya phil but I still maintain the approach taken as a whole is just downright bloody weird.
