Yeah doesn't look a 2007

But the price is about right for JP

Touche - I assume it would be going for $400 if it was a *B then

It just looks very dodgy. I hang out in the buy and sell a lot and this one stands out like a (proverbia) short haired dog's balls.

Could just be typo - he has no idea what year it is and meant to put it in for $1500 not $500?

Why not contact the seller and ask whether you can buy the board for $600, let them know that you will arrange for your agent to collect, and that you will make payment directly through your Western Union account

I think combining alcohol, the internet and my heightened state of pessimism was somewhat stupid. Just disregard anything I said last night

Anyhow that's not too bad a deal for a 2009 JP Slalom v.
(Edit - thanks for confirming too MK)

Board & seller are legit, I think he prefers his old f2 course racing thing over the jp. Don't know if that price is correct.

Just wondering. Does any board brand hold it's value? Not having a go at anyone here, but some recent communication with a non-JP distributer was interesting. I was told by this distributer that JP's don't hold their value. Got me thinking. To my knoweldge, and from my experience (in owning or previously owning Naish, JP, Quatro, Fanatic) or from trawling the buy/sell section, every board 12 months after purchase is half RRP and no brand holds value - it is the nature of retail-land and the second hand market (why pay more then half price if I can get a new on for $xx).

Am I wrong? Do some brands actually hold value better then others? Truely interested!

My observation is that it's a model releated, rather than a brand.

Some models are just excellent and generally liked so people tend to hold onto them, which generates a shortage on the SH market.
I.E. it's hard to find a SH Starboard Kode, and when available, it will be more expensive than an equivalent board of the same age.

Makes perfect sense - thanks for answering
