Bargain!!!! 0$
Oh no. Not again. We've gone through this before. Unless the powers that be actually do something about it, it's a fact of seabreeze life man.
Have you noticed the babe kites that are well priced but when you contact them have "just" sold but we have another one a just a few hundred dollars more...?
Classy.

Its alright NooBs. Im on your side with this one. Seabreeze should fix listing an item for $0 unless its free.
Would be really cool if there are any kiters into law push this and get thier most expensive item for $0.
Anything listes for $0 i dont even bother opening so its not worth them putting up the ad.

Surely its pretty easy to work out.
$0 = Make and offer??
My offer is... $1. Hell, you're making a profit over what you wanted!
To be honest, the ones that don't mention any actual price in the body of the ad or an "asking for offers" type of statement, are the ones that trully should have their ads deleted, at least in the eyes of the Fair Trading Act, which I've read and confirmed. But those that do mention something in the ad are ok in my view - you're either giving it away or selling it, or swap, or asking for offers, BUT YOU HAVE TO SAY SO. Saying nothing means it's free.

And let the moronic bleating end, buy and sell now has "offers" instead of $0. At ease internet lawyers...

Everyone's a winner!!!
except the tight arse that wants everything for nothing.
While - as a shop owner - Ive never done it..... never would....
I would have thought a $0 listing on SB is pretty obviously an item that is needing to be sold but one where the owner (shop or private) is simply looking for offers. U have gotta be totally brain dead to think it means its going to cost nothing (FFS)
If its a shop trying on a scam then they are stupid...but whats the harm. One msg or call & you will be onto it & can swear at them to ease your disgust - AND never call them again AND tell all ur mates never to call them as well (so not so smart for a shop).
Otherwise you might just end up getting the kite u want for the price u want - shop or private.
With just one contact being the decider why should anyone complain. Complaining takes more effort than checking it out. BS can be smelt a mile away.
Read the text. Ive never taken much notice but Im guessing a $0 listing would usually have a 'give me an offer' message in there somewhere - esp if its a genuine seller.
I notice there is now "offers" available in the FS section. That is a legal and ethical way for shops to advertise their products.
We might know "$0" means offers but if any retailer quotes that price then they legally have to offer it for.
Heres another fun fact. If a retailer sells a demo product that's out of warranty for below cost to move and it becomes faulty (at your doing but shop cant prove it...) within 3 months, you're still entitled to a refund / replacement

from a shop owner (for now at least) YEP definitely.
And if its brand new superseded - by any no. of models - at any buy price - the factory warranty is still valid.
(and if they dont like it they are not a shop u should deal with)
