Pixelpimp Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 Hi All Recently bought a HQ Crossfire II 6.5m and its way to powerful for me (Kites got Bigger nuts than me ) and was hoping to sell it to buy something more suited to me (4m crossfire or 4m beamer maybe) or swap If anyone is interested. How much could I get for a mint condition one? Anyone want to swap? Thanks PP Quote
BGKD Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 Welcome to the forum. You may want to keep it, may be a little much for you now, but crossfires are a great kite to move up to. What are you planning on doing with it, buggying, boarding or just static?? There is no such thing as a too powerful kite, just the wrong wind.... and being a little light on experience. Quote
.Joel Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 Hi Pixelpimp, Welcome to Extreme Kites. Recently bought a HQ Crossfire II 6.5m and its way to powerful for me (Kites got Bigger nuts than me ) and was hoping to sell it to buy something more suited to me (4m crossfire or 4m beamer maybe) or swap If anyone is interested. Curious, where did you buy a 6.5m as your first kite from? How much could I get for a mint condition one? $450 - $500 perhaps? It's now a superseded model, the 4.0m on clearance was $390 new. It may be worth keeping, and buying a HQ Beamer IV that's on clearance as "kite only" and using the handles and lines you have now between the two kites if you're tight on cash. It won't be long once you can handle a smaller kite you will be wanting a bigger one for lighter winds. http://www.briskites.com.au/index.php?l ... tail&p=380 Regards, .Joel Quote
JKS Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 Hey PP .... welcome Provided you are enjoying kiting and think you are going to stick with the sportI have to agree with the boys Keep it. It will be no time at all when you will 'need' that kite .... given the right wind and practice. Where are you located ? Quote
riotflyer Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 As others have said it may be better to keep hold of it depending what you have planned, was this a store bought kite or did you buy it from another source ie; ebay or another kiter. Quote
dpriestly Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 Hello, I am interested in your Crossfire 6.5m and if you have it for sale. Please send me your contact details. Thanks David Quote
BGKD Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Since you are both pretty new to this forum you are both unaware that you need to have 5 posts before the Private Messaging system works for you. Quote
Pixelpimp Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Posted June 7, 2011 Thanks for all the replies guys.....and maybe thinking of keeping it now but I have had it out in 8mph winds and it still kicks my ass...will I be able to handle it with time and practice? I am only scudding at the moment and no plan to buy a buggy as I’m in WA and there is lack of places to do it How much will you give me for it Dave? Thanks PP Quote
BGKD Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 For scudding there really are better kites to use, what made you go for the crossfire, was it a store reccomendation (I guess I dont know any stores in WA), or like me did you just buy the first and biggest kite you could find on Ebay How long have you had the kite, was it new when you got it?, any photos.... all this info will help you sell it.

Dutchman Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 I live in wash. state and would be interested in your kite. Is it still for sale? Quote
andy666 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 I doubt it mate, as the thread is over 1yr old and the guy has never re-posted on the forum. But welcome to the site. Quote
Pixelpimp Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Posted September 10, 2012 Hi All I have just decided to Sell this again as I have not had a chance to use it since I posted this last year ....Thats having children for you Still in mint condition as It was a year ago Let me know if you are intrested and I can send you some pictures if needed and we can work out a deal Cheers Quote
Slartibartfast Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 I have a 4m Beamer III I'd be happy to part with. Your Crossfire II is a far superior kite (though be it not for beginners). I also have a smaller kite more suited for beginners (1.5m or something) and some other stuff. Perhaps I could trade you a couple of beginner kites for your Crossfire? If you were to trade the Crossfire for my Beamer directly I'd feel I was selling you short somewhat so I'll see what else I can find that would be appropriate for you. How are you off for accessories (like harness, Q/R latch, snatch block etc)? Quote
jhn.holgate Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 I have just decided to Sell this again You should put up a thread in the 'for sale' section with price and pictures. Everybody likes piccies Quote
Pixelpimp Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Posted September 10, 2012 Hey Slartibartfast Thanks for the offer and I may take you up on that ....but cash is more needed at the moment ...So will see how I go Thanks PP I will add it in the for sale section when I get a chance if its not snaped up ...can email photos if anyone wants a look Quote
BGKD Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 hm... I may be persuaded to buy another crossfire, where/when did you buy it? do you still have the manual and stuff. BTW you still need to post another post before you can use messaging, do that then PM me your address and contact details and we can talk Quote
