Is this a good deal for Burton Twin and would it be alright for me?

Question

i Found a 157cm 2008 burton twin with 2008 burton custom bindings and the local seller's asking for about $260 OBO. Right away i thought that was a sick deal since a twin alone retails for $550 CDN and customs are around $180. It's only been used twice and is in excellent condition.

I wanna get this board pretty bad since the seasons ending pretty quick and i still have a seasons pass at Grouse in BC so what do you the think the MAX i should pay for this is.

Also I'm about 5'7 160 lbs. I plan on doing a mix of all mountain and park stuff about equally. I've been using my buddy's dads board which is a 161 sims board with his size 13 boots. I've been able to do surprisingly well considering I'm about a size 11.

I've only been about 5-6 times but i've got riding and carving down pretty well and i'm starting to hit some kickers and rails. So, think this would be an awesome deal for me?

Answer 1

If it sounds to good to be true it, it usually is too good to be true.  Carefully inspect the board before you commit to buying it.  The price is crazy low - see if the seller has receipts (it could be stolen property).   I know a couple of guys who ride this board and are very happy with it.  If this is a legal deal and the board is in good shape, then go for it!

yah, i agree...don't comit to anything until you have a look at it for yourself and make sure it's not a 2nd b/c those cost about 250 new...so ask about that. also make sure the bindings are in good condition and not defective...it all the checks match then get it fo sho....its a hella good deal!
