I have a 9.5" snowflake box kite for sale. It was made for me by Sun Oak Kites in 1988. It has been flown several times at large festivals over the years ( aka conventions, Black ships festival etc.) Needs strong winds, its BIG! Orig. retail value was aprox. $1200, looking for half. They have only made a handfull of these. If Interested E-Mail me at bckites@i-2000.com or call 212-472-2623 <*Disclamer*>--- Yes I have a kite store, and do not like posting "ads" here, but this is a personal kite and I want to sell it to get something bigger for myself.
