I'm selling my surboard...?

Question

i am selling my surfboard, because I am getting a new one, and I just wanted an idea of how much money a surf store would pay for it. Can you help me out?

Answer 1

Well, it'd would help f you posted a pic of the board.

example: you originally paid 600 for it. No dings/ perfect condition (you could sell it for about 350-450)

a couple minor dings: you could sell it for 200-350

Once you post a pic, I'll get back to you

Answer 2

Try selling it on craigslist or ebay because the surf shops wouldn't pay as much for it because they still have to make money.

Hope this helps,

Answer 3

really depends on the board loveyou. Like how much would a car sell for?

What you can do is go and check out a shop that sells second hand boards, see what boards on the rack are similar in condition and age to your and see what they are selling for. Now this price will be about $100 - $150 more than what they will offer you, as they need to put a markup on the board.

You can try private sale, however it will cost to advertise it is for sale etc. Ebay could be an option however you will not get much more than a shop will offer on ebay.

The other way is just start spreading the word through friends etc that surf and they can speak with other surfers.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Surf stores will try to rip you off if you sell them used boards. if it's in good condition you could probably make 250-350 (maybe more depending on the condition/board type) from a buyer on craigslist. Never hurts to ask the surf shop, but usually they will ask a price that will make you undersell big time.

Answer 5

try half price wat u paid for it as longs its in gd condition.. put a pic with it if ur gonna put inthe paper or online.

Answer 6

Size, shape, age, condition, brand?  Figure it will lose probably 20-25% of its value every year since it was made.  If it has had serious dings or damage reduce it more.  If it's a longboard they don't depreciate quite as fast as a short board.

Craigslist is great for selling boards.
