Looking for something i can just throw about a bit.

Size: 155-158
Specs: rockered somewhere (any variation is cool) or flat. Not camber. Probably not burton either, cant be bothered with screwing about with adapters for my forces. Looking for something more playful to just butter around on early and late season.
Flex: medium soft (not too stiff. ive already got that spot filled in my quiver - berzerker yay!).
Price: No more than 200,000

If youre looking to offload a deck, gimme a shout. I cant send PMs unfortunately so youll have to do it in the open.

Also, VERY knowledgeable about snowboard tech, so yeah, not really going to buy a POS. Smile

On the roads leading to any ski resort there are a bunch of shops that sell and rent gear. Some of them must have some used ones they'd sell you.

You won't buy a PoS, but aren't willing to spend more than 200k...

That said, there's a snowboard/ski street in Seoul that sells almost anything you can imagine. I managed to find some size 15 boots there. Line number 9, Eonju Station will drop you off in the middle of it. Be prepared to spend more than 200k. Koreans aren't much for used stuff.

I know the market pretty well. Smile

And yeah, i wont spend more than 200. Not exactly a contradiction dude. What are you trying to sell and what do you hope you'll get for it? Having flipped several boards in korea, i can tell you categorically, the import duties or shipping you paid to bring your ride here (or if you actually bought it at about 170% of its US price in a shop in Korea) dont matter. No ones paying more than the used US market rates.

Obviously there are exceptions to the rule (if its a coveted brand like neversummer which come up rarely in the second hand market, you might get a little extra), but for the most part its 150-200 for a decent ride, less for the aforementioned POS (buyer beware etc.)

ETA: Also want a nice pair of binders. On the hunt for some M/L Union contacts.

Again, want something fun and loose to supplement my forces (theyre getting a bit old, not to mention that some ninja stole one of the footbeds last year at yongpyong).
