I have the opportunity to buy a brand new Burton Method for £700 (they're normally around £1,300). Would you, even if it was to sell it on eBay?

nope, the Market for even a 700 quid board is so small that it's not gonna be easy to sell on at a profit. Then again there are some muppets out there so....

As for keeping it yourself, well I think you have to ignore the fact that it's 600 quid off and simply think, would you buy and ride a 700 quid board....and I think you know the answer to that one.

There are plenty of us that do ride £700 boards. If you can afford it then why not? Its all relative.

What size is the Method?

Yeah, so it's a 155 and that's too short for me. I would have only bought it to sell on eBay and Nick, I reckon you're right, I'd be lucky to find people with the appetite to spend that much on a stick.

I think I'll leave it in the shop for someone who wants to ride it to buy!

Unless... does anyone want it? If you do and have a bright idea of how to get the money to me while being happy that I guarantee I'll send it to you then let me know!

That is a very generous move on your behalf.
Good work Rusty!

Seriously, we've debated this one before and I know a few people who are the "All the gear, no idea" types and that goes for Cars, Motorbikes, Mountain Bikes etc etc

I've actually seen loads of people who have all the gear and have the right idea too.

I must look harder.
