I think if you look at that post from a while ago about the price of second hand kites and kites not holding their value you may get some insight into why kites don't sell.

Anything will sell at the right price in an open market and something is only worth what someone is willing to pay. I have bought a kite from this site before and have sold some other gear so it does work.

It is hard taking a big hit on selling your gear to upgrade but that just comes down to the cost of the sport. You have to ask yourself if you really need to upgrade or should you use your gear for one more season.

Bought one sold one!
Good pricing it the key.

Posted 4 sold 3 so 75% but I decided to hold on to the 4th anyway after it didn't sell straight away - so didn't try to hard!

100% success rate. Price is the key.

Last 3 kite quiver I sold went in less than 2 hours.

Any traditional "C" kite over a season old you would be lucky to get $300.

bruce obviously you are asking too much for your gear.
i am 3 from 3 because i am, and most other people are realistic about what someone will pay for it. sure i think my stuff was worth more but buyers are not going to pay you how much you think it's worth they will pay how much they think it's worth. some vendors on this forum are yet to grasp this concept.

be realistic about the price of your gear when wishing to move it on, search for products similar and do a comparison ?. Every time I've placed something on here for sale it sells within a very short time because I'm realistic about what their worth

sold 2 boards, bought 1 kite, 1 bar... and met lots of wonderful smiling peoples who take the p!ss out of me at every given opportunity you're all a bunch of bastards

havn't had much luck selling, bought 1 board and 3 kites. Was stoked with the board and 2 of the kites.
Only advise is to speak with buyer / seller and make sure you are getting what you pay for. There's no come back if you buy a piece of **** from someone who you'll probably never meet or hear from again. spose its that same old thing of buyer beware.
well, had my whinge, but all in all seabreeze has been a good experience, 99% of people are honest and i like to think that the wind will sort out the other 1%.

rhys, is my sale pitch that common and obvious!

Here’s one more go just before I totally give up and keep the damn thing as a garden ornament

And I will throw in a couple of scotch fillets as steak knifes are so passé

Although I am thinking it’s a bit seasonal as well.. wait till summer comes around and fresh meat just out of kite school might be looking for your second hand gear.

i have enough trouble trying to keep up with the ammount of stuff listed every dayif you miss a couple of days ,you can be looking through 2 ,3 or 4 pages !......at one point there, it was 2 pages of for sale listings in the one day
so if you advertise one day...and the right person doesn't see it for a couple of days ..it can get lost in the traffic
