Phantom II 15m SOLD!!!

mougl - 1-6-2012 at 09:34 AM

Red, gray, black, white colors. Kite, bag, navigator bar, and lines. Needs spars that can be purchases thru Angus at Coastal Wind Sports rather inexpensively. Flown 3 times at JIBE and twice on grass. All equipment is in excellent condition, no damage at all.
Edit: flew it today with some makeshift spars (Coleman tent spars work well!) Noticed a couple of minor stains that could very well wash out. Other than that like new.
Unexpected expenses came up so sadly this little slice of heaven must go.

$1100 or will consider reasonable offers


Bar


Top skin (inflated)


Bottom skin (deflated)


In flight

So the email came? :o Hope it all works out well.

mougl - 1-6-2012 at 09:46 AM

No email yet :lol: Other things came up

Todd - 1-6-2012 at 11:12 AM

Like I said, the spars are on me!

mougl - 2-6-2012 at 05:56 AM

Weather permitting I'll get some pics up today or tomorrow

mougl - 2-6-2012 at 08:07 AM

Had some questions about why there are no spars. Guess I should explain :)

While flying at JIBE, the kite took a header and a spar bent a little. Later that day while flying, the spar gave out. There was no damage to the kite at all. Nothing poked thru, no tears, the kite came out just fine. The other spars plastic end tip cracked and retracted into the spar, so I'm selling it without them :) price reflects no spars. As I stated earlier, replacements are available thru Angus at Coastal Wind Sports who I should thank here for loaning me a pair of spars to keep the kite in the air for the remainder of the event. Thanks Angus!!!

Please keep in mind this kite was only flown 3 days of the event and is still in extremely good condition, as are the lines and bar. Price does include shipping to the lower 48 :)

mougl - 4-6-2012 at 05:19 AM

$1100 Shipped. Will have photos up Tuesday. Finally get a day off and some time to get some pics :lol:

to curious to let that go.:puzzled:

mougl - 5-6-2012 at 12:51 PM

Bump, shameless of course. :)

mougl - 6-6-2012 at 07:55 AM

Boom

mougl - 6-6-2012 at 07:36 PM

400 Views and no takers? :dunno:

pbc - 6-6-2012 at 07:38 PM

I keep hoping it will turn into a 9m for $400.

I'm an optimist.

mougl - 6-6-2012 at 07:41 PM

hmmm, you could get it then turn it into a 9m AND a 6m :lol:

pbc - 7-6-2012 at 03:14 AM

Right!!

BeamerBob - 7-6-2012 at 10:33 AM

The early adopters already have theirs and the rest are in wait and see mode. This price would pull me off the fence if I'd been considering buying one at retail.

mougl - 8-6-2012 at 02:47 PM

Boom

thanson2001ok - 8-6-2012 at 03:01 PM

g00fba11 - 8-6-2012 at 03:43 PM

Drewculous - 8-6-2012 at 03:51 PM

I love this kite! Upwind like no ones business, awesome bug engine! I didnt get a chance to try it on the atb... But with a little work, you can almost go straight upwind! (almost :lol: )

I was technically flying it when the spar failed... But for some reason todd wants to buy em.... I could cover the spars too, or split with todd if hes gonna be a PITA :lol:

Bump for a steal deal!!

mougl - 9-6-2012 at 05:24 PM

Well if you didn't drop the kite like I did due to negligence of a down loop with a snag on the rear line then by all means :smilegrin: Just want to make what’s right to get this great kite off to a lucky pilot.

Tell ya what Drew, I'll cover the cost however Juice Lucy is in need of some paint thinner
:singing:

mougl - 9-6-2012 at 06:41 PM

Guys, you really don't have to do that :) hell, for the price I have the kite at, spars should be the no issue at all for the new pilot :)

pbc - 9-6-2012 at 06:52 PM

Yes, it is a stunning price. It has me wondering if there's a way I could do this. It'll be quite some time before a price like this rolls around again.

What's a little debt, right?

Philip

Todd - 9-6-2012 at 06:54 PM

Hush up M I'm trying to pick up some paint thinner :smilegrin:

mougl - 9-6-2012 at 07:05 PM

Im sure paint thinner could still be arranged T :lol:

mougl - 10-6-2012 at 09:32 AM

Me too lol...

awindofchange - 27-6-2012 at 11:18 AM

You could always post it up on Kitebookie.com as well. May get some other interests there, plus the ability to post pictures and such is so much better.

thanson2001ok - 27-6-2012 at 11:18 AM

I need to plan a garage sale, sell candy bars, buy a lottery ticket or something.

macboy - 27-6-2012 at 12:42 PM

NOOOO!!! Don't do it! Don't go to eBay! Is the pickle you're in that despearate that you NEED to unload it or can you handle waiting a bit? eBay seems sinful with this kite at this price......

mougl - 27-6-2012 at 12:51 PM

It's a bigger pickle than this kite will fix but every little bit helps. It's got to go unfortunately.

It's a messageboard. This is a messageboard. You can post pics there. You can post pics here. Not seeing how it's so much better there, since, y'know, pics are possible at both.

(don't know how to post pics/links? Hit the "Reply" button instead of using the "quick reply window", you get fancy buttons to insert links/images/youtube)



Best of luck with your sale, I really hope you get it out the door soon!
If I wasn't being responsible, this would have my name on it! :singing:

KsKiteAddict - 28-6-2012 at 07:32 PM

Wish I had some kite budget funds left, would really love to own this. This is a great deal, for sure. Sorry you have to let this one go...

mougl - 1-7-2012 at 08:47 AM

Sunday bump...Off to eBay soon :(

macboy - 1-7-2012 at 11:49 AM

Anyone interested in a Phantom II timeshare? We can't let this hit eBay!

thanson2001ok - 1-7-2012 at 06:25 PM

Too funny. I thought the same thing. Kind like owning part of a business jet.:eureka:

mougl - 3-7-2012 at 01:48 PM

Going to Ebay Friday if it's still here

mougl - 5-7-2012 at 06:28 PM

Ok so no eBay happening for this kite. All the fees, etc? No thank you! Here it will stay till its sold or till I have recovered from this jam...$900 shipped conus. Will ship outside US for additional shipping fee. eBay...what a joke. Yes, I'm a bit miffed with eBay :lol:

macboy - 5-7-2012 at 06:34 PM

*phew!*

mougl - 9-7-2012 at 03:02 PM

Bumpage

mougl - 18-7-2012 at 08:22 AM

still here

Nomadic - 18-7-2012 at 08:25 AM

I could throw $800 at it.. shipped. Not to low ball you, but that is all I have to spend. I understand if the answer is no, I just am tired of drooling on my keyboard for it.

mougl - 20-7-2012 at 07:58 AM

Drop

BeamerBob - 20-7-2012 at 09:54 AM

So did everyone that wanted a PII just order it right up on the front end and this crazy low price doesn't make anyone else say "Hmmmm"? Even the low ball offer isn't but $75 away!

pbc - 20-7-2012 at 11:40 AM

I was selling gear to buy it but then I got a trade offer from KSKiteAddict's Reactor II 10.8. I think I'll like the Reactor to niche for a low wind buggy engine.

The catch is I do enjoy buggying with the big Arcs that are now leaving me. The continued presence of this kite on the market at such a low price makes me squirm. I can't help but think it would be a boat load of fun.

Philip

elnica - 20-7-2012 at 11:49 AM

Is this a land kite exclusively? I looked on the PL website and saw it everywhere except in the kiteboarding (water) section.

is it better than the charger?

mougl - 20-7-2012 at 11:55 AM

It's making me squirm too! I told myself I wouldn't sell it for less than a grand. $875 is killing me to let this one go at but it needs a new home :)

mougl - 20-7-2012 at 12:00 PM

It can be used on water too. In fact, it was taken out for a water run at JIBE.

Better than a Charger? That's a matter of personal preference really. I can't speak for the Charger as I don't have experience on one but the PII is sweet. It's laid back but when you want to go fast, or go up, the PII is ready to rock. Has nice lift and nice float. Goes upwind like mad! People who flew it were amazed at the angle they could go upwind (myself included). Great depower as all arcs have, good auto zenith. All around great kite.

ikemiester - 20-7-2012 at 03:03 PM

how is this still here? If I wouldn't have bought my syn, I would be all over this

mougl - 24-7-2012 at 10:32 AM

Sold!

Bigbear97e - 24-7-2012 at 04:40 PM

congrats on the sale ... hope everything is working out for you

ikemiester - 27-7-2012 at 08:57 AM

who's the lucky owner?

pbc - 27-7-2012 at 11:10 AM

That would be me. It's not my first choice in Phantom II size, but at this price I just had to bite.

I had hoped a 12m would be my first P2, but I used my 16m Scorpion a lot. Whether with inland, upwind in light wind or tandem the 16m was a workhorse for me. I think the 15m P2 will be a more refined design filing the same niche.

And thanks for the reminder to pay Scotty. I had to wait 'til today for the cash.

Philip

KsKiteAddict - 27-7-2012 at 11:52 AM

Good deal, Philip... glad you are ending up with this one! Glad our trade didn't prevent you from getting the main prize you really wanted. And thanks for removing this incredible temptation for the rest of us. Jim

pbc - 27-7-2012 at 12:17 PM

Yes, I did it for you guys. Right!!!

KsKiteAddict - 27-7-2012 at 12:56 PM

You could try telling your wife that if she already doesn't know how much this one cost. :)
