dbarras Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 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 . Dave in Woonsocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbarras Posted November 8 Author Report Share Posted November 8 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frob Posted Thursday at 06:34 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:34 PM 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.

mebeatee Posted Thursday at 10:42 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:42 PM 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!! bt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
