Round Table PP, again

Some time ago, I posted about a promotional Peter Powell Stunter, created for the Round Table. It appeared on eBay, for a buy-it-now price of £80. That was way too much for my liking, so I didn't bite. The kite was relisted a few times, each time for £80, and then disappeared from eBay. I assumed it had found a buyer.

Turned out that wasn't the case, because after a while, it was relisted, this time for a lower price, though still well above what I was willing to pay. Again, it didn't sell, and was relisted yet again, and again for a slightly lower price. I decided to play a bit of a 'chicken race' game: hold fire until the kite was relisted with a price I was willing to pay. Of course, someone else might well snap it up before the seller had reduced his/her price enough for me to grab it .... The kite was relisted well over half a dozen more times, and the asking price kept creeping down, slowly but surely. Until one morning I saw it was relisted for my max price (£40 if you want to know), and I pounced! Gotcha!

The kite came with a red tail, but I felt a white tail would look much better. I happened to have a white Peter Powell tail which originally came with The Monster (which now has a custom tri-colour tail), so that white tail replaced the red tail. And here is the 'Round Table' PP, in our usual flying field:

It flies exactly as you expect from a polythene PP Stunter: needs a decent breeze to fly and turn properly.

Of course, it being a Peter Powell means that some tail-rolling is involved at the end of a session ...

I have no idea how many were made, but it can't be that many. Maybe this is even a unique one-off? In any case, it's a very nice addition to my Peter Powell kites collection!
