Where to buy used kites in South Africa?

[L0KI]

Where would a new kiter find good used kites in South Africa?
Ebay may be possible I guess, but I don't see many that will ship to SA.
ikitesurf classifieds has lots of kiteboarding gear ads, but is primarily USA and Canada.
So, where do you South African kiters buy good used kites?

I saw a few listings on Gumtree but there doesn't seem to be very many listings at all.
My advise to him at this point is to really connect with some locals and find out if some of these guys have used gear to sell.
It seems that almost every experienced kiter has good used stuff they could sell a new kiter.
I'm not coming up with any other very good suggestions for him.

The used kite gear market in SA is quite small. Hell, even the new kite market here is small. Best option used is to look in Cape Town.
Otherwise buy new online. PayPal works fine, you can set up a two way account with FNB.
Credit card also works.

Gumtree or through someone who instructs/locals. Be wary though because there's some out there purposely selling junk. Where is he from?

I suppose its not so bad a price its only about $145 witch is R2000

Gumtree is your best bet in my opinion, but you may not find that much out of Cape Town.
Just keep checking regularly, and maybe set up some keyword alerts.

Otherwise you can still take a trip to your local kite shop.
You definitely will not make the deal of the year there, but you're also less likely to dramatically overpay.

Cape Town and Langebaan have the most used gear (Langebaan is msotly school gear).

There are two facebook groups you should be on where people talk about kiting and try to sell gear. I will send you a PM. Otherwise, gumtree.
