does anyone know of a good place to buy second hand boards, apart from ebay and seabreeze. i am on the sunshine coast and wondering of any good pawnbrokers. i want a crazyfly 132.
Hey Surfingboyo - just read your other post. I'd contact CC in Maroochydore and get them to keep an eye out for it. Another guy on here lost his board and it turned up at CC not long ago.
hey dave what would the police do if you had reciepts and all that. and what would they do if i cant find them. cheereys.
You need proof of ownership. I was lucky with my board. I had a photo of me holding it the day I bought it, and a statement from the shaper that it was a one off spray job.
I also had a cop friend who handled all the crap with the pawn shop. The first time I tried to retrieve a different board from a pawn shop without police help, the board 'disappeared' from the display and never showed up.
I just would never buy anything from a Pawnshop, mcuh less a "broker," what's dat.
There is just something that discusts me about those places...........................pew.
Reminds me of the rapper with the Discusting song, Emmmmmmmneee mem.
Cashie's is THE WAY TO GO. Got a MINT condition Naish kitesurfboard for 180bucks!!!
Not sure what year it is, but it is in new condition, I couldn't believe it. They thought it was a kids surfboard . lol.
I'm not sure about security checks at CC, but at other places when you sell stuff, you need 100points of id etc. And they send all the info to the cops and they check the name on all their records. Or so I have been told by several shops. 6000dollar fine or something large if they dont do it.
The board wasnt a model sold in australia. It would have either been found in the middle of the ocean. Or a tourist sold it dirt cheap on his was back home. If the board was stolen overseas and brought over here , well too bad for the ex-owner, they were never gonna find it in Perth.
Thank you for the congrats
Ok say it was stolen from a tourist car. They would be long gone by now. They wernt going to get it back.
I dont see how I have supported the thiefs (assuming it was stolen), it would be cashies supporting them. Who, would have paid maybe 40bucks for the board and sold it on for several times that price.Its not my fault they had a stolen baord. If someone comes up to me and can PROVE that it was their board, I would try and arrange some sort of deal with them.
Cashies deemed it a legitimate board and I didnt steal anything. If I bought it directly off the thief (assuming it was stolen), or I new it was stolen, then I would be supporting theifs.
I kite at a very popular beach for kitesurfing and noone ever has seen this type of baord before in WA. And trust me, some weird stuff comes by.
And the board was going to be sold eventually, with no name on the bottom it wasn't likely to find its ex-owner (whether it was stolen or not) . At least it was sold to someone who loves it
Mickydee why the hell would I say I had a 2nd hand kite worth approx $600 sell it to you for 200$ then when you sell it you make 200% profit? Why youldn't I just sell it for 400 or 300$ for a quick sale if I was desperate. That's why pawnbrokers are friggen dodgy, if you got something that's worth a fair ammount of money you don't sell it to a pawnbroker cause they give your a 1/3rd of what it is worth, you get ripped off. If your a thief you just want some quick cash, you don't want to be caught with the goods, give it to the pawnbroker, convert your loot into cash, once you got the cash your not in possesion of stolen goods. Pawnbroker labels it as a legal product and sells it for 300% more, converts his "product" into cash. Now neither are in possesion of stolen goods, just cash.
Partner's in crime.
Why would you sell your gear to or buy from some dodgy twat for fk all.
There is a far better solution where you will get a fair trade and feel happy about your sell/purchase.

I would never ever ever ever buy or sell from a pornbroker, its a disgusting business
we are attacking your line of work, no one is going to deny that.the other thing fueling this is we are attacking you for trying to premote your business in our forum. we come here to share advise and have friendly fun slinging **** at others who kite, not to get pawnbroker adverising shoved in our faces. there is a buy and sell section for that!
looks like mickydee didnt like what we had to say 
just so my last comment makes sence he wrote a 1000 word essay on my we shouldnt be slinging him or his work.
it wasnt his line of work that bugged me so bad it was him premoting his business in the forum. looks like that back fired.
Actually I deleted it all so it didnt create any further BS in here since I also thought it is a place to chill out and do your thing whatever that is.
And I do apologise if it did come across that way pynnee but it wasn't meant to in any way mate.
Its not my business either, I saw a few things about that may have been of interest to someone but now I know otherwise so its all good.
I dont like being personally attacked is all.
But anyway I can see how it may have come across.
So sorry bout that guys.
