Sounds fishy... bar and lines alone should be worth entire package price.. Anyone from that area, maybe know someone missing some gear?

They are either broken, being sold by an X, stolen, or someone had them in storage and didn't pay ;)

The stuff is ancient. The Naish X3 from 2003-ish, the rrd type 5 from 2004-ish, the type z from 2005-ish. I suspect the bar, lines, harness, pump is likely from the same period too. They are all c-kites and I believe they are high aspect kites and were not considered good beginner kites even back then.

looks like a perfect opportunity for this

If you are in the market for new inflatos that is. $100 for three kites= $900 off new kites for your quiver.

Nice find Stetson.. Could even see some friends going in and splitting the 3 kites..

I did a trade like that here in houston when they had their cash for clunker special. They took 300 off my 900 dollar waroo. My kites I traded in were actually RRD type 5. Those thing are only worth $20.

Jokiter does some pretty amazing things with those cast-offs.
