Burn them or send them to the Poor Reli Foundation.

Mate, your better off selling on seabreeze... A shop owner will never give you what you want for them, they will want to pay as little as possible so they can make as much as possible on the sale/trade...

Trading in your gear is a quick solution however not the best solution for your wallet...

If the're in good nick and priced right, they will sell fast on here...

You would loose a lot less comparatively on a best kite than you would on any other kite...

I'm not sure what you paid for your kite's, but what ever you paid was cheaper than the other's. Given the state of the second hand market this is how I see it...

for example...

If you paid $1100 for best kite approx 12/13m, a year later you could expect to get back any where between $400/$500 for a complete kit... 55% to 65% loss

If you paid $1500 for a naish/north/LF 12/13m etc etc, a year later you could expect say between $400/$600 for a complete kit... 60% to 73% loss

If you purchased you kites in our 3 for 2 deal. On average you would stand to loose approx 40% on each kite...

You dont get good money back on any brand kite, period.

But then you shouldnt be buying kites with a view of getting your money back. At best prices when they were 3 for 2, they really were "disposable" kite prices, i.e buy them, thrash em for 2 seasons, if you get $100 a kite after that, then be happy.

also look at it like this, loosing 50% on best kites is better than loosing 50% on the other more expensive brands. 50% of less is less than 50% of more...

If your going to give them away or throw them out think a bit.
Maybe cut a deal with your local kite repair person.
free kites for free repairs.....

Yea, the Pooooooor Reli is right, store them or make a deal, you never know when you need to be warm.

You guys are selling selling out best, take a look at the Hellfish. Hangtime for jumps, wind range, turning radius far exceeds all the others. I have 6 best, and a hellfish takes the place of three. Its not the answer to all of the problems but a start.

Yawn!

I`ll give ya $55

If your talking about me... the answer is NO i do not trade kites on new ones... You would have to ask steve @ KP on the east coast if he does...

I sell all my demo kites on seabreeze. If you price them correctly and the're in good nick, you will have no problems selling them.

As I said above, you would get more for them on here than you ever would if you took them to a shop to trade or consign. A shop would ask for a percentage of the sale price for consigning them and you most certainly would not get want you want for them in a trade-in situation either. That goes for any of the brands around...

regards browneee from best

a shop which promotes certain brands of kites and products will trade those products back at a considerably higher price than a product it doesn't stock. if you are already a customer then this counts double.the internet don't seem to trade or offer friendly assistance face to face or phone to phone. care?

my experience on this matter

the seller of my best kites (KP NSW) would not trade them back on new purchase

they suggested use this forum to sell

no fussed either way, have sold a few privately and on forum

if u think u will get >50% back dream on
pay less, lose less, the more u spend the more u lose

yummy for a furnace near u lol

hunglong misspelt my name.
