BobD Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 So here's a distorted reality. I posted the conflict in the main forum thread an hour before the auction ended. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2009-SG-Snowboard-SG-Race-78-Alpine-Racing-Carving-Hard-Boot-Snowboard-NEW-/160706152538?pt=Snowboarding&hash=item256ad5485a This is the board people were bidding on http://www.ebay.com/itm/2009-SG-Snowboard-Race-78-Brand-New-Never-Used-/180789416053?_trksid=p2992.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.OPJS%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D20%26pmod%3D160706152538%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5536646627076452761 and this was the board that sold recently http://www.ebay.com/itm/2009-SG-Snowboard-SG-Race-78-Alpine-Racing-Carving-Hard-Boot-Snowboard-NEW-/160706152538?pt=Snowboarding&hash=item256ad5485a Now it maybe that the guy didn't have a digital camera, so borrowed the photos. And just maybe he liked the description, so copied all of that. I can quite believe that if you live in Florida an SG board would sit in your garage doing nothing, but I don't believe you would let it go for $300.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Yep, I have had photos "Stolen" many times. One of the reasons I often use "Watermarking" . using the content /description from other auctions is also very common. I will tell what really irks me is when someone steals my photos, my verbage and then runs an auction at the same time as mine!! Ebay doesn't get very excited about it either. Just too common. "Hot Linking" is even worse. Not only are they stealing your work / photo but they are stealing your bandwidth. I have turned the table on that more than once. I just change the photo that they have linked to to something less appealing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Ace* Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Lost the teleboard auction at the last second. Oh well, probably better off. Since then I have come to realize that I need to get rid of the old stuff so I can make room for my own creations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin will hook you up on a teleboard, give him a call he might be willing to do a demo by mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobD Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 the killer is i was watching it for a while and figured it'd go for £realistic. You needed to look at the sellers other items to see better views of the board, and do some research. It turns out to be a cap construction which apparently Virus tried in 1999. I figured it was going to be old school camber and something Virus gave up on. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230724143958 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took them a few days to realize what had happened, but I think they got the message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Aww yeah. Duck footed hardbooter! That seems painful. Nope, totally doable. I teach sofbooting beginners, on a freeride board set +20/-5 on hardboots. I can even freeride ok like that. As everything, it's finding the stance that doesn't affect you in a negative way.

Took them a few days to realize what had happened, but I think they got the message. Nice. I used "Signs" or odd photos. I did not want anything objectionable on my site. Never know where that might go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobD Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 This was an interesting sale on ebay UK - Palmer Platinum sold for $176 http://www.ebay.com/itm/290665801749?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649. No photos, and no feedback on this sale, but starting to get negative feedback on other sales. Either seller has been struck with problems or identity has been stolen by very smart scammer.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Bryan, Do you see any fakes? Looks like it would be possible with something like this. Tough call Bob. I have definitely heard rumours and I have seen numerous boards of questionable lingage or provenance. It is definitely case by case. Having handled allot of early snowboards, It is fairly obvious to me if a board has been re-touched let alone "Cloned" or re-created. The question comes up most often with "New Old Stock" or unknown maker vintage "one_off". This are can get pretty blurry. There are NOS boards still out there, when they surface the "how is this possible" and "Is that fresh paint?" questions come up. How do you confirm if the board was built in the eighties if it is the only one? Four owners removed? Do you have a super rare one off built in the shop of a boat builder in the midwest or a board built by a so cal surf shop five years ago?

Technical.Experience Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Santa Cruz Alpha BB 162.5 for only $1500, it's cheap because it's used I had this board in mid 90's, lasted me 5-6 days; the base opened up from tip to tail... Still, it has been my favorite asymmetric board. I made my mom drive from Québec city to B-side in Vermont to buy it at the time... I got a replacement from Santa Cruz but it was the next year model with the symmetrical shape and asymmetrical sidecut. I was pretty dissapointed. I'm even more dissapointed now that I see it for sale @ $1500, I could sell it now and by myself a nice Kessler :D Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/220758249919?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Here it is just for fun ;) Edited February 29, 2012 by Technical.Experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trolling for a buyer with more money than common sense or knowledge of current value.
