Fair Condition, needs repair, won't hold air. Was $1000, now only $500.
I want to punch this guy.
There's a guy on a FB market group selling rear-line safety Cabrinha bas "unused, like new" for about US$200, as well as some 2012 bars for close to 300... 
Kites I have owned but moved them on pretty quickly
2007-08 Cab 7 strut crossbows or Contras,
2010 Cab 6-strut nomad (the Nomad was actually a fast-turning/looping kite with great drift before the whole kite drift-ability thing)
2010 Cab 4-strut convert
Slingshot rev c.2007 powerhouse but scary
Early F1 bandits, awesome kites but also dangerous, due to rear line easily catching around the bar or wingtip
nearly bought a rhino once thinking it was a good deal lol
One was a Cabrinha Switchblade III. Probably stretched to hell when i bought it. It tried to kill me every time took it out,
Secondly the 2022 Pivot 11m. beautifully made, great looking kite. Whenever I took it out I was getting out jumped and burned off by everyone around me and would turn my shoulders into mush in gusts. For a supposedly powerful kite I would accidently board edge it to a standstill in anything less than 20knts. I've flown the 12m and own the 9 and 7 and while these kites are great at what they do, I couldn't be aggressive with that particular size and it would make my blood boil.

So you're saying the Naish Pivots are too slow?
That first Wipika NSK made from plastic tarp material was just not a kite.
the second version on 15m lines was a teaching machine.
Slingshot Link gets my vote.
although in the early days there was a Champion kite made of sail monofilm. Totally see through.
My Best Waroo think around 2009. Use to fold itself like a pram anytime you pulled on the bar!!
Ben Wilson Aeneema had wing tips with the same material as my daughters pencil case ... just weird.
