Tassie Flyer Posted August 29, 2017 Report Posted August 29, 2017 Hello. I am wishing to purchase a Kite Buggy and Kite or kites. Must be in good order. Wanting as cheap as possible. Willing to pick up, and pay cash from Tasmania, Victoria, NSW, ACT, or South Australia. Let me know what you have, and how much, and if you can send me photos as well. My email is vortexturbo1988@yahoo.com.au Cheers David. Quote
windstruck Posted August 29, 2017 Report Posted August 29, 2017 Always nice to see somebody new interested in getting involved in our sport, so welcome David. I had to chuckle about your request for a "kite" in the singular sense. Good luck with that... Mez, SoutherlyBuster and Tiger37 3 Quote
DJ_Sylk Posted September 16, 2017 Report Posted September 16, 2017 I have a mate selling a Libre V-max & 4m HQ Beamer with handles and lines for $800 in Kambalda WA. If your interested let me know and he will get a quote on shipping Quote
Tassie Flyer Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Posted September 17, 2017 Thanks DJ_Sylk. But I do know that it will cost me way too much to freight here from WA. So I shall pass on this offer. Thanks David. Only interested if kite and buggy available in Tasmania, as we are no longer travelling Vic, NSW, ACT, and SA. So I am still interested if a package comes available within Tasmania. Thanks David. Quote
Ligerzero Posted September 26, 2017 Report Posted September 26, 2017 I have a Flexifoil freestyle kitebuggy (with composite axle) an 8m and 10m flysurfer outlaw and a 10m flysurfer speed 2. Along with harnesses and protective gear. Im a little reluctant to get rid off them but i haven't flown in a few years now so would be willing to talk prices if you are interested. I'll price them reasonably if you are interested because they are just sitting there unused at the moment. You can see plenty of videos of them being flown on my youtube channel.... https://www.youtube.com/user/LigerZer077 or I can provide current pictures if you like. Quote

A long standing rule on the for sale forum is to provide prices on items offered. Michael Quote
Tassie Flyer Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Posted September 26, 2017 It does not matter about the price, as I am only interested in items from Tasmania, as we are no longer travelling mainland Australia. If I can not get one here in Tas, then I will look again from other states in 12 months time. Quote
andy666 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Posted September 26, 2017 @Tassie Flyer If price isn't an issue, why not pay for freight from the mainland? Quote
Tassie Flyer Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Posted September 26, 2017 Hello Andy666 You have obviously have misunderstood by what I meant by what I said. I am referring to mik333 comment "A long standing rule on the for sale forum is to provide prices on items offered." Not to me paying any price. I have looked into freight costs for a buggy from the mainland and it is very expensive. So expensive in fact, that I am better off in just buying brand new. So NO, I am not prepared to pay just any price. And I do no want to freight a buggy from the mainland. Cheers, David 10 hours ago, Tassie Flyer said: It does not matter about the price Quote
spotter Posted September 27, 2017 Report Posted September 27, 2017 You will be really lucky to get anything from Tas. There are about 3-4 buggies that are in Hobart and I know of two that live in the North of the state and one on the East Coast. I am the only one that looks on these forums for this part of the world that I know off. You are better off getting something from Melbourne and getting it sent down. I have only seen 4 buggies sold in Tassie over the last 10 years or so. Darren Tibbey and ctrlaltkite 2 Quote
andy666 Posted September 27, 2017 Report Posted September 27, 2017 Parcel 100x45x45cm (22kg), which should be big enough to posts a PL buggy is about $171 Brisbane to Hobart. And that is through Australia post! A freight company would probably do it cheaper. And freighting from Melbourne to Hobart would be cheaper again. Quote
Tassie Flyer Posted September 28, 2017 Author Report Posted September 28, 2017 Andy666 You just don't get it. I DO NOT want to buy a kite buggy from the mainland. If I can not purchase one from within Tasmania, then I will buy one when I am next on the mainland in 12 months time, and if that is not available to me then; then I will just simply buy new. I do not need people telling me what Australia Post charge. You do forget, that you have to find a seller that will only charge what Aust Post charge and no more. Some sellers want a fee for the hassle of packaging the item and taking to post office. But the other issue to me, is that I would like to inspect what I am purchasing before purchasing it. If I keep getting comments from people that do not have a buggy to sell, then I will not be responding to those comments, and YOU WILL BE IGNORED. If need be I will ask for this topic to be closed by an administrator, and I will finf my buggy from somewhere else. Thank you. Regards David. Quote
Chook Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 Just bloody buy one in Tasmania and stop slagging off those that are trying to help you then........................... With your attitude you wont have anyone to kite with anyway. nigel, Jase Shepperd, Mez and 3 others 6 Quote
