Yeah $450AUD is what I bought it for.that was easy! ~AUD$450 is a good price too. I thought that facebook marketplace had largely replaced gumtree, but not so? The facebook second hand marketplace looks the worst I have seen it, prices plunged and some hardly used known model model boars not selling for weeks at prices such as $350. Maybe its particularly bad in Vic. I haven't been able to sell my local custom with "professionally repaired deck crease" for $150 and that price includes FCS carbon reinforced performer fins in perfect condition.
Your conversion to USD doesn't give a representative cost for our N hemi friends because we are not on US salaries - I say we as Australians, individual circumstances vary! We only need to take a look at the "great unbiased wetsuit review thread" to see that N America is on a completely different retail level to ours and that's not taking into consideration we are in a per capita recession. So its more like the equivalent of US $450 up there. Its not all bad here though, we are rich in waves.
It apparently retails for $1000 + $50 for a pad, so about 57% off new price for what was effectively new. Maybe that is a better comparison for the wave-starved Northern Hemisphere friends on here.
And trying to sell a board with a "professionally repaired deck crease" is going to be tough at the best of times, regardless of the market conditions.
