iluvtofly 0 #1 February 6, 2008 For a good while now I've been thinking about selling my snowboard. I used it once last winter and before that hadn't used it in probably 2 years. I figure I can use the money I get from it to either pay some bills or put it towards hopefully going to Skyfest. My problem is I don't have the slightest clue how much it is worth or what would be the best way to sell it. It's a Burton and about 6 years old. When I first got it I used it almost every weekend the first 2 winters I had it. But not much since then. It's still in pretty good shape other than 1 crack on the binding. I'll post pics of it tomorrow. Right now I'm at work and don't have access to it to take pictures. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
