    probably just an exchange rate variance. thing is, there's almost nowhere in the UK where you could safely get up to GS speeds for more than .. 10 seconds.

    The price did go up. They had it "on sale" for GBP 175 for two "buy it now" cycles.

    175 would've been worth it, even for the 1 resort that has a long+wide enough run. hmm.

    I'll admit it. I wouldn't mind having it for a backyard board. Looks stompy.

    $650 opening bid...

    ...well I hope he/she does not attempt to bid in order to generate interest...it may not sell for much more than the first bid.

    The guy is probably getting very optimistic with the number of page views he's getting for that board.

    a mere $3,500

    I've got a similar board in much better condition I'd let go for half that much. As the 2nd owner (bought from a friend in '85) I know it's only been ridden a dozen times.
    I'd even throw in free shipping & the vintage hardboots for a ready to ride package

    Now that there is funny!!

    Obviously set up by the window display guy/gal.

    Burton Step-ins to boot!!

    Cool outlet.

    Evidently the board is not potty trained yet?

    Since dredman is more likely to make it to SES, I'll send him the link.

    I had a pair of those back in the day, loved them. But at that price I would want Phil Mahre's autograph on it. The photo of the base looks good though.

    Why would you want to ride it though? The base looks incredibly oxidized

    $40 for a brand new FP is distorted the other way. That definitely would be a bargain.
