8' 7s super fish xl epoxy wholesale cost

Does anyone know the wholesale cost of these boards? I'm trying to negotiate a price with a local surf shop, and I don't mind giving them a reasonable price that they make money on, but I also don't want to get ripped off.

Any clue?

Thanks!

So this shop lists this board at $685. I told the shop I wanted to buy two boards and asked how much they could take off that price. They said 10% off, so about $620 per board. What do you all think? Is that a good deal? I was under the impression these boards could be purchased for much less.

Thanks.

Yeh, thats to much for a board like that if your talking US Dollars. When I got one last year, it was the new model with the 5 boxes on the bottom and I paid $455.00 + tax for a 6'8" brand new here in cali. Now I see them in the local surf shops here for 399.99 +tax. Theres no way I would pay $620 for one. You could have a shaper copy that same design for much cheaper and have it customized for you at the same time.

A friend in Florida just got a 6'8 epoxy and at $535 they claimed the shop were losing money. They gave him the glass board price supposedly by accident.
