Wanted to see how much they would give me for custom PCC SB with leggy and cover which hasn't had a lot of use and still in very good condition. He said he couldn't give me more than $100 I said don't worry prob would have been more like $50. I'd be happy with $150-200

Anyway I told him i don't use it any more because I SUP. He showed me a Surftech Pearson Arrow Laird 14ft in very good condition for $1000 I thought that's not bad.

The part I freaked out on was when he told me the owner sold that board to him for a measly $200!!! WTF he could have sold it hear for 3 times that amount easily I reckon...

About 10-15 years ago I started buying up old single fins(to surf none of this hanging on the wall crap)and I got some classics.One Dick Brewer inperticular was a ripper,6'10" rounded square surfed it up to about 8' and it was great. $65 at cash converters.Now you've got all these wombats trying to sell them for thousands as colectors items,what a wank

I had hand me down MR twin fin classic as a grom great board caught my 1st wave on it passed it down to my bro then when he finished with it the old man stored it under the house.

He had some rubbish removed & the guy asked if he could buy it. THE OLD MAN JUST GAVE IT AWAY TO HIM!!! WE COULDN'T BELIEVE IT...

Would have be worth a bit now...

It's not called Smack Converters for nothing.

$200 for a 14'? Reasonable suspicion may indicate this property not to belong to said individual.

Sounds about right I couldn't imagine anyone on here selling a SUB that cheap - unless they turned to the smack...

We dont have a "Lost & Found" area as in the Kitesurfing forums. Was going to have a look...

more like cash fencing. i had my car broken into, cost me $6000 or so to replace my tools.

anyway, 3 days later i was looking in a well used pawn shop in palmy when i saw this trade german made drop saw. the working dude said do you like the looks of that saw.

i said i sure do because it's my stolen saw, then the cops came etc.

they gave $50 to some weedy druggo fiend for the saw. seriously, wtf is a seedy piece of **** like him doing with a saw like that, but money talks

the whole thing is a fencing front as far as i'm concerned
