Whats it worth

Does anyone have an idea of how much a gently used 08 - 9 Liquid Force Session is? How about an 08 - 12 Liquid Force Session? Already asked Tekko. I am wanting to sell these and will post in the classifieds.

If you do not see anything in the classifieds on this site - check out www.ikitesurf.com - also check on ebay and watch what they are selling for.

Thanks. I already looked on Ebay & NWKite classifieds before I posted this. Nothing there. I'll check ikitesurf.

The LF Session should pull in around $500 complete just like any other complete kite right now. Start there and if you don't get any responses, it's probably just the time of year.

Compare it to some Havocs for a baseline then drop the price some to adjust.

Sell them in the snow in Utah!!

The person who is right for that kite will pay what it's worth. Kiteboarding goes up and down with the seasons. Middle of the summer when there're lot's of new kiters around and many of them scared off by retail prices in the shops and good quality, last year gear has a whole new appeal and value.

All depends how quick you want to move them.. as to what you're willing to take.

It's all relative though, as the deals you would want to take advantage of on newer gear are all now as well, and won't be as easy to get once season is rolling again.

I think overall the used kite market is going to rebound in values a bit as new kites get more expensive and not so immediately obsolete when a new model comes out the next year. People that want to buy new will have more of a market to sell their 1 yr old, while many others hold onto their gear 2 years or more... making less used kites available on the market immediately at the same time, when new models are released.

So are kite prices still going to go up this year even though gas prices went way down? That was the reason kite prices were going up right???

Thanks for the advice. Skiing has been so good that I have yet to go to a kite field. Waist deep powder all freakin day yesterday and rippin fast groomers under sunny sky's today. Legs are fried! I think I'll wait to sell the kites until later. Was just hoping to get some cash before I buy my new ones...liquid force havocs from Pepe. Would love to try snowkiting this week if anyone is up for spending time with a newbie. Be back in the gorge this weekend.
