Was searching ebay for gear (I windsurf)

And upon hitting the 'windsurfing' section I found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Slingshot-Fuel-Wind-Surfer-15m-In-Bag-WIth-Acc_W0QQitemZ200229214463QQihZ010QQcategoryZ2920QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

A kite that's been labelled a windsurfer, either the seller has no idea or it's stolen gear

Just trying to give the heads up if anyone has lost/had one stolen

lol
" windsurfer comes in bag also included pump harness and..........ROPES "

got to be stolen, or someone has been horribly injured and their mother or next of kin are trying to sell the stuff to pay for the funeral or hospital bill unlikely but a possibility

Looks like the seller is the ebay equivalent of a Pawn Broker.

It might not be hot, it's an old model 2003 or 2004 I think, and pretty much worthless.

i agree with tobes, looks like maybe a pawnboker shut down or starting to sell on ebay.

If you want to laugh at some 2nd hand gear prices, go for a look at the Cash Converters on Wanneroo Road in Nollamara. They had an AirRush pickle fork at a bargain price of about $700, and several pre-QR kites for about $900. It had me grinning to myself.

Pawn shop or not he has a pretty good feedback score.

If 20 topics posted like this come to nothing but 1 leads to a returned kite and thieving filth nabbed, I'm all for it.

Well done DISM for bringing it up.

Does anyone know a fellow named Paul Hannan? (QLD?)
I understand he had one of these stolen recently.
Please point him in the right direction if you know his whereabouts.
