Ares1744 5 Report post Posted November 13, 2017 REDUCED: $425 So I have a Lam Hoac made vented Mind Trick I've flown once. Not sure if I'll fly it again so I am tempted to sell it. If I put it up for sale would anyone here be interested in it? Also, I've never shipped a kite so any advice on that would be helpful. I have a few line sets for the mind trick and dynamic dt12 and dt10 lower spreaders. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lisa Bernard / Kiteworld 12 Report post Posted November 13, 2017 I find that sandwiching the kite between two pieces of cardboard is the cheapest way to go, post office and of course writing fragile and do not bend on package, it can bring shipping price down alot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esinger 229 Report post Posted November 13, 2017 I think the best is get a 36" mailing tube from Staples, Office Max or Office Depot. You can break down the leading edges and it should easily fit into one of those. A google search shows them in the $5 to $10 range 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Barresi 4,599 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 I'm a big fan of the triangular boxes too, especially if you find a tube that fits inside it to double up. https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/dual-use-priority-mailpriority-mail-express-medium-tube-P_O_1098M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ares1744 5 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 Will look into the usps tube package. Anyone know if they carry them at usps offices?Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisa Bernard / Kiteworld 12 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 Pay for air? Normally you have to put two triangular boxes together for certain kites to fit. Whatever you decide is wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ares1744 5 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 The pic above is what Lam sent me before I bought it. After the one flight as expected there is a little bit of dirt on the tips of the kite just from light landings.

Ares1744 5 Report post Posted November 19, 2017 Was thinking $550 since I bought an extra spreader (dt12) from him and 2 line sets for the kite so it would be a complete package. I used to have 2 extra lower spreader connectors but after a purge of our basement items I cannot find them. First line set is a laser pro 90lb test length at 125ft. Second is a laser pro 50lb test at 120ft.Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ares1744 5 Report post Posted November 28, 2017 Just to update going to sell this officially. For everything price is $500. Buyer pays for shipping. Still need to get the medium sized triangular shaped shipping box but that's what I'll use to ship it in.Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Breezin 314 Report post Posted April 3 Spent 3 hours on this kite today . Wind 25 mph sustained with some gusts I'm sure hitting 30. Absolutely amazed. Love this kite. Shipped promptly and packed exceedingly well. Did I say I was pleased? No? Well that would have just been a major understatement anyways !!! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
