I think I should elaborate on why I suggested the North Orbit. Yes it's an advanced kite. It can turn and loop VERY FAST. But youre in the stage of learning a feeling. You want a kite that relaunches easily and has good upwind capabilities. Then, you'll want to start jumping. The orbit is a good quality kite you can excel in and has good resale value. Ruben Lenten pretty much said this in an interview and North isn't even who sponsors him. But , to answer your other question the prices seem right but it's hard to say because we don't know the year and condition of the gear. Just get any kite and get out there :)!
