See stuff like this....

Stay clear.

Join the latest craze! WTF

i have a feeling it is actually a old rhino from the look of it

erm... no bid from me and I hope no bids from anyone.

That kite would be totally safe. In the time it took him to take the 3 pics it has lost all the air pressure. Just like blow up doll with unhappy ending

we have a winner....

stolen perhaps.

if its stolen then they probably did the owner a favour

It's old, stuffed and a huge size kite. The board is a piece of crud.

we see newbs buying stuff like this all the time. If you want endless repairs and then have to take it to a shop because it flies funny then go and bid.

You wouldn't be the first tight arse who wants to set themselves up for $500 and then wonder why they always have issues with their gear.

Maybe do some research on the old north rhino.... Think about the wind conditions in your local area and use commonsense.

Judging from the bag, it's an old (2003?) North Toro kite.

North's original learner kite, and they were considered pretty bad even back then.

For a winning bid of $51 you get a harness, pump, board and possibly a set of lines and throw away the kite. I reckon the person laughing hardest is the buyer!

Interesting question. He's laid it out with a curve, perhaps to look like a bow kite and he mentioned that he believed it was a 2008/2009 model. Intentional deception of the buyers?

Paradox your right it was $510 (not $51 - not such a good deal after all) Looks like I'm going blind and senile as well as being an old fart.
