Any dealers in perth doing trade ins(minimum) on old kites?

I have two old C kites which are fine, but surprise surprise nobody wants them.

Need a new kite to stop the shaking affect, but am short $300 or so....

airborne had something a while ago... described it as a good way to get rid of dangerous old technologie C kites but then had them advertised as cheap learner kites, made me laugh

At the risk of restarting the debate, i dont know what people have against C kites. I'm a learner with a 10m C and an 8m hybrid SLE and i much prefer the C kite! Yes, a bit harder to relaunch, but i actually think it is easier to fly and i can honestly say that my SLE has caused more pain to my body than my C kite has!

I reckon you are better off learning on the crapper kites, becuase nothing teaches you faster than a good hard old fashioned flogging or two...

absolutely agree 100%, however i am looking to buy a 7m REV(because everyone else is.....) and my 14m and 18m C kites are not quite the same.... :) Although if somebody wants both i'll do a great deal.

Yes i have tried using the buy/sell with no luck.
