The Concept
Do you ever look at your sports equipment and think it's time for an upgrade? Justifying an upgrade is difficult when you don't know what to do with the kit you already have. The creators decided it was time to plug the gap in the sports equipment market by developing a specialised sports auction website.
KitRaider is dedicated to sports enthusiasts who participate in activities that generally require high value equipment. It currently offers a trading arena for Windsurfing, Skiing, Snowboarding, Wakeboarding, Kitesurfing and Sailing. It will look to establish markets in canoeing & kayaking, cycling, climbing, surfing and waterskiing.

The Aim
To provide the sports community with access to the best quality sports equipment available at competitive prices through an auction.
The Founders are sports enthusiasts (and good friends!) who joined forces and business skills to develop KitRaider. Like many of us, they'd spend hours trawling the generic auction sites for a mountain bike or a pair of skis, only to be disappointed with the lack of information, inaccurate description or poor reliability of the products once purchased.
The key to KitRaider is the creators' real love of sport, passion for the business and desire to interact and develop great contacts within these specialised sports. They know from experience that there is often excellent second hand, ex demo or unused last season's equipment that would provide an affordable option to sports enthusiasts.
