Jack M Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 BUYERS: This stuff is old. If you ride somewhere with firm/icy conditions, you will have a much better time on newer gear. Heck, you'll have a better time on newer gear anywhere. There have been many big advances in materials and designs since 2005. Snowboarding is expensive - travel, accommodations, clothing, lift tickets... why cheap out on the most important part and suffer the frustration? Plastic, wood, epoxy, metal, and fiberglass have finite life and will deteriorate even in storage. Your first turn on your new old gear could be its last. That said, a nice older board with camber and edge life can work pretty well in places with typically good conditions. The best older boards are Madd, Donek, Prior, Coiler, Volkl, F2, and Oxygen. All better than Burton. A good older board can be a decent way to try the sport without breaking the bank. Pricing - the vast majority of older boards aren't worth more than $100-150. Many should simply be given away for the price of shipping. There are some exceptions, and sometimes a collector's item will come along. These are unusual. If you are looking for a board to actually ride, feel free to ask the group or report the post if you think the price is unfair. SELLERS: Members and staff are allowed to question pricing of vintage gear even if they are not interested in buying.

Admin, it seem this would be great across the board, Even For Non Vintage Gear as some people think their gear is worth a fortune and their 6 year old gear has just been sitting around rusting away...............

Modern gear is a different story. You can haggle if you are interested in buying, otherwise MYOB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
