ebay is going back to the 80's

[Fleaman]

I just finished checking out ebay for snowboards, I found lots of old stuff there. Lots of old asym boards with soft boot bindings etc, I wonder if some neophyte parents out there are thinking they will be getting their son or daughter a good deal on a snowboard off ebay and they win one of those, the poor kids will be devastated. Unless of course, they want one to rip and look gay or they are aspiring carvers and ditch the old soft bindings. maybe they can use boots like these in them too.

Yea, I love all the strange stuff that pops up on ebay, half the time the sellers doesn't even know what they've got, and you see things like "length aproximately 65.5 inches"

For quite a while I've wanted to buy a funky asym board to try once then use as a wallhanging, but people always bid on them and they go for more than the $10 I'm willing to spend on one. I want to know who all these people bidding are.

Somthing else I notice on ebay, whenever a good board is up, like a donek with bombers or the equivalent, the stance always seems to be totally wrong, like 50 degrees front and 20 degrees rear on an 18cm wide board. Clearly these people haven't found Jack's articles.
