Cheap Decks Anywhere?
« on: January 21, 2009, 02:42:31 PM »
I was pricing them on Ebay, and since the economy sucks dick, it now costs $160 CDN for 5 blanks with grip, with tax and shipping to Canada of course.

Is there a better deal out there or is that as cheap at it gets?  I remember paying $120 or less for the same package last year.

I can't afford beef, that's the beef.

Actually, there's just a bunch of other shit I need to buy too.  Vado cam to starting filming stuff, wheels/bearings, mp3 player(mine broke), contacts and backup glasses, bike tune-up...

I paid the going rate of $85 for a deck at my shop not long ago, it lasted a month or so then I had to shell out another $50 for a blank.  Don't give me that shit.  Our prices are outrageous, and no one in my position can afford shop decks every few weeks.

These are honestly the same quality as any pro board in my opinion. I've been skating the same one since October, and I skate every single day. It's always great being able to look over and see a small stack of brand new gripped decks and not really have to worry about if my current one breaks or whatever.... I don't know what shipping will be like though.

don't be complaining, I can only get Csis boards or Santa Cruz boards in this shop in my town and guess for how much?




100$ plus 5$ or griptape.

Sounds like someone needs to get his priorities straight. I always find it funny when friends complain about being broke yet they're wearing $20 t-shirts.

The problem with shop boards in Canada is there marked up too high. They cost under $20 most of the time but always retail for around $50. Thats way more than regular hardgoods mark up.

If they ship to Canada, thank you very much.
