Cheap North Kites

[Nico]

Hi guys,
just heard of someone selling rhino IIs (9 M) for 400 Euro a piece .
Apparently wanting to flood the market.

9m Rhino2 ?

Ain't no 9m Rhino2 anywhere in the world!

Someone BS you there big time.
Only 9 from North on the market is the Rhino1 9.3.

Hi Toby,
no BS.
I am just not familiar with north kites and do not care less for guys with no ethics, namely this guy thinking he can just pass on kites at retail price without getting bared from his supliers (I do not think that honest kite retailers will accept such behavior either) .

Nobodys flooding the market! North is just making way for new 2003 Product, hence the sale of Toro's and Rhino's at dirt cheap pricing. This is common practice with all Kite Manufacturers this time of the year.....

I also heard stories about a year ago about someone who went to china and bought for like $1000 the whole serie Rhino's.
If that's true the employees of that fabric are just criminals, but $1000 might be more than a year of salary for them.

Anyway, i don't think that it's good for kitesurfing, shops lose much profits (if more people are doing this), north doesn't earn much to research/promote their products, all other companies won't sell that much either, in the end kitesurfing is over, unless you have a sewing machine so you can make your own kites.

Who are the criminals?

1. The employee (working long day for almost nothing)
2. The boss (keeping the salary low)
3. The kitemanufactury (trying not to change a thing)keeping

Had a look at the pricing. Thats under cost, way under cost, so if they're selling them like that, buy them, because at that rate the guy will be going under very soon because he is losing on every kite...thats if they went through a legitimate channel. There is always the chance he's a bullsh!tter trying to stir in the market and then not deliver. Beware.
