One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.
There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".

the risk in this process is the day where something gets lost

That risk lies fully upon the shipper. International insurance claims can take 3 months or more to settle.
If payment is made by PayPal and a dispute is entered by the buyer the money is removed from the sellers account and frozen. The buyer/shipper will have to provide proof of delivery to get funds released.
I have been through this process on a couple occasions and it is a pain.
Just saying ... be careful.
