I purchased from Canada last month it was £96 all in with no vat but just googled the USA there and it’s right

Anybody bought owt from USA eBay I bought that rough Sims superlight 10.0 , I give him a bid with a fair bit off and got it shipping wasn't too bad but I didn't realise that after you committed to buy it you had to pay the full 20 % vat on top of the price there's no mention of it till after you ...

Yep makes you wonder how it just gets as rough as that

Some numpty will probably bid on it


this looks like one of those mpi decks to me :roll: especially in that colourway, its a strange one because its not one of the reissues and certainly not original,any ideas?

I've only seen plastic ones as said quite nice with the shaped risers and the grip on top is good as well , og condition


I’ve never as much as seen a Freeformer in real life but I’m very taken by the custom fit riser pads, they are very niche

I see the oddball benjyboard sold ok right as a bank that one just an early one that's all when they were trying different stuff out , the shape is the benjyboard freestyle basic shape without the wood risers and with the early graphic , nice thing really and looks all OG to me

Did you cut the grip tape yourself , looks good and you can see the deck top perfectly, always fancied using some of that green grip tape you sometimes see on early Benjy's , but never seenbany for sale
