FS: 2004/5 Prior WCR 167 (Monster Topsheet) 7/10

[pgetchell]

Greetings gearhounds,

Thinning my quiver means no more stuff I only attempt once or twice a year.

I bought this board as a new blem directly from the friendly folks @ Prior.

I tried several times to love it, but...I am a skier that really can't dedicate the time required to get good at it.

This board have about 5 days on it - maybe 20 runs. I gotta say the topsheet is a little dull from travelling around from hill to hill. (looks good still, but not really shiny any more - might need a coat of wax if you are into that.)

Most important - the blemish(es) can be found at the rear corner:

- there is a router "dig" on the metal edge (about half-way into the outside edge, not tail metal, 7cm/3 inches from back end of backside edge, unless goofy. - see pic. FYI: ridge of gouge faces in "preferred" direction - so as not to work against direction of carve.)

- there is a missing bit of finished topsheet on the very corner. (smooth, not delaminating at all, just an imperfection of the hand-finishing process)

These are both cosmetic, of course. Anyone who has witnessed/visited this sort of factory, and seen the by-hand manufacturing process can understand the type of imperfections mentioned. But, I do not encourage anyone looking for a "new" or "perfect" board to inquire.

This is a used, blem, with a badass topsheet-graphic and hardly any use. So, first $200 + actual shipping takes it.

yeah, i like it.

almost think they were doing a one-off or custom topsheet (as they often do).

kinda looks like me, too.

ROUTER blem????

[pgetchell]

might make a good band name? "The Router Blems!"

seriously, it looks like they musta sneezed when cutting out or otherwise finishing the board.
