The bigger question is.... can you afford to be wrong 
Its an 09' kite he'd know if hes used it - wouldnt you !
I looked at buying a kite of Buzz.. had great contact with him. even talked to him on the phone. I was sceptical but he gave me references in Sydney.. just contact him lotofwind.. he will put you mind at ease..
Sounds like a bargain and if it's what you are after I would go for it.
Still above wsale cost here btw so I guess it is genuine....
how the hell do you get a kite back in the plastic after its used?
serious
it would be damn hard!
Gday lotofwind, I was going to buy a 10m Cabrinha SB IDS from the guy at the start of this year sometime. He emailed me back in a similar worded way to the email you have posted up. Appart from his excuse was different for the kite being brand new. He said that he buys lots of kites every year at mates rates and that he didnt get to use them because of an injury. I left it and didnt proceed to buy the kite. I couldn't afford (like all of us) to potentially throw that much money away.
Hope that helps.
Looking at Buzz's profile he is an East Coast Aussie boy so maybe he can send the kite to a mate of his and if local you pay cash otherwise his local guy COD's it to you.
Should have left all the original posting up to let people see how this panned out to what looks like a possible happy ending.
Was requested to delete by the seller.Will let all know of the ending.
Have sent you a PM earlier buzz.
Like closing the china shop door after the bull has left mate. 
Perhaps you need to do a bit more to clear his rep up a bit ey? 
A bit more discretion next time perhaps?
Can ask 'loccol' here on the forum ...

The message I sent after he asked me to pull my post asking if it was legit or not.
Hey buzz,
sorry mate,was not saying it IS a scam,just wanted others opinions that had bought off you.
I have deleted all my posts but cant delete others.Was not trying to reck your cred on this forum.
I have received alot of private messages,most saying "let me know how you go buying of him as I have been keen to buy one of his kites but decided not to because of not sure if its a scam or not"
One of the members suggested that you could send it to one of your mates here in OZ,then he sends it COD to me.
Would that be ok?
If all goes good I will send messges back to the crew that are considering buying but are not sure if you are legit and post on the forum telling all is good.
Sorry if I have pissed you off,wasnt trying to make you out to be a rip off merchant,was hopeing for alot of responds saying you were all good.
If it all works out well,I will do all I can to make sure the seabreeze crew hears about it.
Cheers
Glenn
-----Original Message-----
but no responds.
I dont think there was anything wrong with my original post asking if it was legit or not??????
How else can you find out without asking others advise on here,only deleted it because Buzz was worried about it.
Keepya knickers untwisted lotowind.
I think there could have been a bit more delicacy about the method/wording of your posts. Put yaself in cherry-red Buzz's shoes. Sh!t tends to stick remember. 
Also a bit of detective work wouldn't go astray before posting before all n sundry. Most of the scammers wouldn't have 190 odd posts under their belts for instance...
Yaaaawwwwnnn... so didya get the frkn kite or what?
he hasnt responded??????
Yeah I saw over 100 posts but that really dosnt mean much,was just after someone to say."yeah I know him,or,yeah I have bought off him" but noone has.
Besides GF,you have well over 1000 posts but after looking at your avatar pic I wouldnt send you $1000 
I'd settle for $999
1/2 of my posts (conservatively estimated) are bollocks but I aint dodgy - just stoopid.
Thank you Col ...
(by the way that kite was a 2008 SB that Col asked me to see if I could find end of season - closeouts - (I think they are called) last of the last bunch
Some of you other guys obviously didn't read my post about sale of a kite to the other Col on Sunshine Coast.
(Maybe won't post any more ads if i have to go thru this each time !)
