Sale Gear Thread

[manysnakes]

For the FA/Hockey sale does anyone know if the decks that they do not distinguish between shape 1 or 2 are shape #2? I see a couple decks that they make sure to list as #1, so made me wonder if that means that the unlabeled ones are shape #2.

There are no or almost no #2 shapes available. Maybe one 8.5" remaining, but otherwise, everything for sale is #1.

I was so proud of myself for ignoring that FA sale yesterday, but learning the discount code can be used on top of the sale broke me. 



Thank you sale thread, but also fuck you.

Ditto.

Yup, that extra discount code broke all of my resolve. Spent less than $50 for a deck, grip, and a hat, none of which I need.

lmao I've got five decks in my cart and they work out to like $28 per deck with grip and free shipping, but I haven't pulled the trigger. It's a ridiculous deal but also a ridiculous number of skateboards which will take me years to get through.

At this price could just burn through the boards before they’re toast  lol sk8 like a king

Shit.  bummed I missed the code but still an insane deal. Guess I could just buy more shit lol. I hope the decks aren’t Covid leftovers with weird or shitty wood.

I got 4 boards and a crewneck. Didn’t notice or check the shape 1 or 2 lol but I skated many FA boards in the past. Bout to show up to the spot with everyone sponcered by FA. Excited to have a stack of bloards I been a good boy and only have 1 deck in reserves rn.

I’m so tempted to get two more Hockey decks. But like someone said, it’s to the point where it’ll take me YEARS to use them. Anyone ever skate a deck that they had sitting around for a few years? I assume they’ll be fine.

[Lessfillingtastegreat]

With yesterdays 5 deck order it will be 2024 before I need to buy anymore.   I doubt it will stop me because I’m a compulsive fool.  BUT I’ll be freshly dipped on the set up. 

EDIT: Black Friday is coming.

I’ve read here that if stored correctly the bord should be fine.

The nanotubes are still intact

Missed the code but got 3 decks and a hoodie for 134 can’t complain.

Seriously debating on buying more but I’m like it typically takes me 2-3 months a deck now a days and winters coming so these should last me til next summer. And by then I’ll prob want to skate something different anyway.

Anyone get there shipping code yet?

Yeah the sale is so insane I can't even be mad I ordered without the code. If anything it kept me from buying MORE shit I don't need.

No I doubt they'll ship anything before next week, it even says on the website "please be patient and give us time to begin shipping orders" I think it's going to move really slowly.

[Spaced Cadet]

I held strong and only got 1 deck and 2 hats. I had way more at first and probably would have went for it if I had that code. I have way too many boards already so it's for the best. Crazy good sale though.

[Silky Johnson]

I only bought soft goods from that FA sale, trying my hardest to not go back and cop some decks.

[backside_frontside]

Really wished I liked the shovel nose shape so I could cop five boards, but also glad that I don’t prefer that shape so I don’t impulse buy five boards lol.

Just saying

[apport]

went on the FA site like 6 times between today and yesterday, loaded up my cart and X’d out. i really don’t skate enough to warrant multiple decks on ice and really really do not need more gear, but it took all my resolve to not buy anything.

I actually ended up buying five decks for myself, which with grip and shipping average out to $26.40 per deck, figuring that if I ended up deciding I had too many I could just sell them locally for $40-50, or else hook up a friend for cheap (even though half of my skate friends ride stupid shaped decks and no small number of them vocally hate FA). It didn’t even occur to me to sell them online but yes, this is a route I may take.

Just like that time everyone was hooked up with NB 440s off eBay.

I hope so because I’ve got enough decks on ice to last me quite a while as well. Longest I’ve had one sit before skating it was just over a year and it’s been totally fine.

What an iconic deal.

[VCR]

Those 440’s were the best

[rocklobster]

Someone refresh my memory of the NB 440s, someone was working for an online retailer that was listing on eBay. And his boss insisted he price them at $25 which was below MSRP or something?

Numeric 440 for $23 shipped. Not the best colorway but still lots of sizes left.

Edit: There's also a 20% off coupon over $25 that these are eligible for, so you can basically get like a free pair of socks from Reebok or some lovely silk panties to keep cool in the summer heat.

I just got 2 decks with grip for 62 bucks after shipping. Really cant beat this deal if you want to stack up some decks to keep on ice. I already had a couple waiting but had to do it. You cant even get a deck for under 60 bucks after tax and grip anymore really. Its a little farther up in the thread, but the code "faappreciation" gives you 20 percent off on top of the sale.

[OhioGuy]

Broke down and got two 8.38s (Baseball Yellow and Crackle). Didn’t need any more 8.5s competing for my Indy 159s Hollows’ attention. These decks belong to my 149 and Ace 44s 😁

Now let’s see when our orders ship lol

[Murge]

Now let’s see when our orders ship lol

I’m hoping sooner than later. My current deck is chipping a little bit more on the nose every sesh

30 dollar decks. Got a mystery box just so my on ice pile wouldn’t take over my apartment.

I bet skateshops are sending angry emails to their FA sales reps right now  :v

From what I remember, I think @rothdigga confirmed that someone within NB messed up and offloaded a bunch of those 440s on their closeout eBay account when they weren't supposed to. Pretty sure they were supposed to be full price? The company decided to honor all the sales though, which is super dope of them.

That is dope. Had an online shop hit me with a bill for shipping after the purchase…even though it was advertised free shipping. They weren’t even nice about it.
