Hello, I Picked up a small lot of Kite's at my local auction house because nobody else wanted them and it was cheap.

I know nothing about Kite's but this one was pretty cool and it's signed .

That's a pretty desirable kite..

What is the value of a kite like this ? I can not find much info on it.  I would also like to get rid of it if someone local would like to purchase.  

Thanks,

Dave

There's a kite group that flies just about every weekend at Brenton Point State Park. If you can make it down there, you'll find some nice people that would be real interested to see your find...

[dbarras]

That is good to know, Thanks for the tip !

You might read up on what else Joel Scholz made, and I think he still makes. They range from 'meh' to exquisite, with corresponding values. They're fairly rare to see for sale secondhand, but popular designs can go for a couple hundred.

Also make sure they are proper Sky Delight Joel Scholz kites and not the licensed GFAK ones......huge difference.

I still have one JS Neptune (dualie) and one single line Parrot left from the stash....lol. The Parrot is decorating part of a wall in my music studio nowadaze...;) I used to have a matching pair of Neptune’s for two at once flying, and a Jaws 2 to fly with the one I’ve kept. They were a few years apart so didn’t quite match like the other’s. 
So many great kites.....Kestrel, Luna Moth, Hummingbird, and that’s just some of the dualies. Many wonderful “critter” single liners as well.....

The late great Ray Bethell turned me onto JS kites as he flew 3 Kestrels at once, and I knew another fellow who had a Luna Moth ul.......yoweeeeeee!!
