Yep, he seems to know an awful lot about something so uninteresting.

He doesn't know much about ebay either. Start it at $2.00, with a reasonable reserve, to find out what kind of value it might have. Looking at past auctions for old burton boards, it's possible it could bring as much as $2000 but, he's made it into a joke by putting that kind of price on it.

Hey Shred, too bad about him blackballing you. I will, however, offer my services as a straw buyer for a small fee (negotiable, but 10% seems fair to me). Let me know, but keep it quiet. I don't want the guy to find out.

Thanks for pointing that one out.

The problem is if a married guy buys the board for that price, chances are his wife is going to break it over his head. Then the one of a kind board will become two of a kind.

Looks like evil marketing genius to me.
Guess it's time to take a look at those old boards I was going to make a light out of...

Saw an original Winterstick on there with the rubber bungee type bindings for asking price of $5000 with a bunch of offers on E-bay too. Same guy has a RennTiger with CNC rattraps for $275 or something too. That Winterstick would make a great big mountain powder setup.

How many actually think someone bought this for 5000.. you don't think his friend put in the bid.. come on.. 5000 even? no 4895.98 ? but 5000 even... don't think so!

If that for real.. Im going to email him about special museum piece one of a kind Shred Gruumer signed Coilers... hahhahaha:lol::smashfrea

Why would someone let an auction end for big bucks when there was no real buyer? The ebay sellers fees would kill you.

Just a thought. :D

It appears the buyer has started a collection of snurfers and other similar riding toys. I checked his feedback and found many snurfer and skifer purchases recently. This seems like a step up in his collection:ices_ange

Check out the buyers picture. If that's really him, that says a lot. Many desciptive words come to mind, but I try not to judge.
