Answer 3

I have no idea how much any surf board is worth, but you can check it out.

I'd say the best bet is to go to Ebay and do a search for your brand and type of board and see what the prices are....  mainly, you want to look at closed auctions so you can see what the final price was.  

If you can't find your exact make, then just look at general boards on Ebay, then maybe do a search on google for "Bob Hayes boards for sale".  You'll probably need to check out a few places for an idea of the prices.

Any item, whether it be a surfboard or a computer, is only worth what people are willing to pay for it.  So by going to Ebay, you can see what people are willing to pay for it and set a realistic price.

Answer 4

It mainly depends on the condition it's in.  

If there are no dings, or pressure dings, and no cracks.  If the color is still pretty white (or not faded) and it comes with fins and a leash, I'd agree with that guy and say about $300.  

If there are a few dings, but they've been repaired.  No major delamination.  Color is kinda yellowish, but not really bad and brown.  And it comes with fins and a leash, I'd say about $140-220.

If there are unrepaired dings, but they're small and fixable, the board is yellow, worn, and definitely used.  I'd sell it for about $100.  

If it's got sections of delamination, several unrepaired dings and holes, lots of pressure dings, it's totally brown and like 30 years old, no leash, You're probably looking at $50-$60...if that.  

You can look around at craigslist and/or ebay to get ideas of what other similar boards are going for.  You can also take it to a surf shop (or a few) and get estimates.  They're probably not going to pay you as much, but they'll give you ideas of what it's worth.
