could anybody please tell me how much would a rusty preisendorfer snowboard be worth (rusty mono-hill torsion box system, vertically laminated wood core triaxel interply). I recently came across one and I want to sell it but cannot find any information about it. thank you
Wouldn’t be worth much, maybe $75 to $100 if it’s in really good condition.
