Looking for deal on 177-78 board

I may have a Hot Blast 178 for sale in a couple weeks. It was a once-used demo bought last year in early February. I just picked up a Speedster RS 183 from you know where and if i like it once I've had a chance to run it through some gates I'll be looking to sell the Hot.

It is the 2003-2004 178 model shown here:

I know the page says it is a 176 (typo) - but if you look at the topsheet in the pic you can see it is really a 178.

Full disclosure - I only raced and trained on this board and I estimate it has 20 days on it -BUT- when I bought it I stupidly agreed to the seller's (Shark's Surf in Quebec) offer of a free tune. Silly me. They scalloped the edges and made it quite base high. so, I gave it to Mike DeSantis to work his agic on, which he did, bringing the base to dead flat with a "world cup" race structure and then giving it a 1 degree bottom edge and 3 degree side edge. So it is fully race tuned but to do this Mike had to take an awful lot of p-tex off to get to flat again, so it probably won't survive too many more base grinds (I'd estimate one more). Right now the base is almost perfect and it was stored all summer with Dominator Zoom on it. It also has a slight depression and hairline crack in the topsheet where the rear TD-1 heel bumper pushed down in high-speed turns. I sealed the crack with epoxy and no water gets in - I don't think it really cracked any other layer than the topsheet graphic finish.

Anyway - long story I know. I expect I will probably sell it, and for a good price at that, considering the above (bought it for $450). It is pretty stiff and very "snappy". Edge length is 157cm / waist 198mm / sidecut 13.7m.

If you, or anyone else for that matter, wants to be notified when it goes up for sale - or if my RS 183 goes for sale instead (which I doubt) - let me know.

Sounds almost good, but if it would only have one more grind left, it would have to be REALLY cheap

what do you figure would be a fair offer with out the bindgins??

cause thats about twice as much as im looking to spend

To the company selling this (it's not an individual) the bindings are pretty much worthless... so I doubt that removing them would change the deal much. If it were me, I would call in the morning (they are on the east coast) and make an offer... $300-350. That's what you would likely end up with if you bought the whole thing and sold the parts you don't want anyway. This would all of course occur after you establish the board has some camber left in it. They should offer a photo or two that verifies that important tidbit...
