Bruce Varsava Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Well if anyone is looking for a possible good deal on a softboot carving board this maybe a chance. I donated a 161 BXFR to a local radio station and it is now up for auction. I didn't give them any dimensions so no one really knows what it is and therefore as it stands now the price is $62 cdn. Auction ends this Friday but not sure what time as the radio is saying 5 pm but the auction shows Dec 14 12:00 am whatever that means. I am willing to pick it up and ship for the cause if required. I could possibly even change the topsheet but would have to charge $100 for that operation. Boards specs are : 161 BXFR 26.3 wide sidecut 7.5/9.5/8.5m Adjusted to 180 lbs Hopefully this gets the price up a bit as it is for a kids Xmas fund. Good luck! There is a guy at the station who is bidding on it and he may get surprised if anyone on this forum is interested(-; Link to the auction is below BV https://rock95.com/?page_id=75832?auction_id=51 Edited December 12, 2018 by Bruce Varsava spelling 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 I noticed it's pickup only at the radio station. Maybe if you offered to arrange shipping for Alipinesnowboarder members it would help get some bids? That might not be feasible - just thinking of ways to get more bidders. Kudos on the donation!

Wolf Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 If the top sheet graphic is really a deterrent for someone, I've had good success using vinyl sticker material with a carbon fiber appearance to cover a repair on a snowboard top sheet. If Bruce isn't insulted, you could cover the entire top sheet with material like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Black-100-x-24-Carbon-Fiber-Car-Roll-Film-Vinyl-Sticker-Decal-Wrap-Sheet/292643128537?hash=item4422e3c4d9:g:K~EAAOSwIeFbTJAh:sc:USPSPriority!44646!US!-1 The stuff even works on a Coiler: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdea Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Guys, bid on it, it’s CAD, it’s like Monopoly money for Europeans and Americans right now. if I win it, it’s either going to my wife or to the classifieds here. As I can not use it. Like the cause and I know what it is and the inherent value. Truthfully, I put in the bid just to drive the price up, and, limited it to a price where I know I could get my money back... Im a sucker for the kids.

Correct, that’s why it’s gonna go to someone for a fair price! 2 hours ago, Eboot said: Hey - I am happy to donate $50 a few of us could band together and then offer this up as a fun give away at MCC to something crazy? Or a deserving youngster? That’s fine with me, if I win it we can work it out that if y’all pay me what I win it for we can just ship it to another charity type thing. Kinda a cool idea that a board would travel around doing solids for kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
