Okay i think i finally decided on my board, it's a used 7'0, 20, 2 3/8 spider
I cant find the new price on the internet but he said it was around 350.
What would be a fair price to pay for this? Without bag and leash.
Spider 7'0 Evo

Cheers

you mean without a bag and a leash?

well, i think they're quite good boards, but i would try and get a leash and a couple of bars of wax with it, otherwise i would just say that you will go and find somewhere else.

a better option would be to get a custom board, and buy the bag and leash seperate and get a cheaper price

Sorry for the spelling mistake.

I can get a leash wax and bag for an extra 35 which i will do

Up to how much should i bid for it? Around 250?

well its up to you, i know they are a good make but then again a custom would be better, as for the condition sounds ok, could you go and inspect the board before hand?

Good choice of board, should do you good. As for the price, offer him £50-75 than you're prepared top pay for it then go up. I wouldn't pay any more than £250 for it and find out about postage costs.

Which would be easier to ride?
A 6'10 x 21' x2 3/4'
or
7'0 x 20 x 2 3/8

Depends on the type of board the 6ft10 is but it's dimensions suggest that it has a lot of volume. I suspect they will be both relatively easy to ride.
