Help determining the price of used board.

Postby BaNZ » Thu Sep 01, 2016 10:36 am

I've got two boards two sell. I would normally just go online and see what the prices are. But this is UK and I live on the east coast where there isn't much surfers.

Bought them brand new 9" Torq £434 and a Torq 6'3 £279

Do you just half the price and sell it? None of them has been damaged or repaired.

My surf buddies are looking to buy it so I should give them a good deal. Honestly, they should put it up at the Cromer surf museum and say this is "Banz's board" the one and only legendary Chinese surfer with a fishing hat in Cromer. :lol: :lol: :lol:

100% based on local resale rates........what used boards sell for here is very different than in Santa Cruz or in the UK. Go online and see what similar condition boards sell for on the west coast or just cut your friends a deal and not worry about it seeing as how you are moving on to bigger and better things in NY.... :)

Yeah even then the price doesn't seem to be consistent. Surfing is not that popular over here. If I go on ebay or gumtree, I only see a handful of boards so I'm having difficulty to determine a price. I'm guessing because people just put it on their local shops at the west coast to sell them.

I want to bring my small board, but I think it might be too much hassle so might just buy a new one in NY!

I'd probably start at something like £175 for the smaller board, and maybe £250 for the larger one. If there's no interest then you can reduce the price a bit.
