He has admitted in this email that he is not a seller.
Don't waste your time.

Nice.
Thanks for the time. Iʼll report back to the rest of the kite community that you are not actually a seller.

Thanks

Iʼd like to know more about the gear that you have for sale.

Can you please tell me what the brand, model and sizes are of the kites and board that you have for sale?
Where are you located and when could you be available to show this gear?

Thank you

Someone should ask him if he would take money orders. I think I still have some of those Nigerian money orders lying around somewhere Very Happy

This guy is just a plain old moron. I had an extended back and forth with him back in March. Here's how it went until I just gave up. He's really a dummy:

I am very interested in your kites. Can you tell me exactly what is the
model and size on the kite? It should say something like a number
(square meters) and model name.
Thank You,
Kip
