Fastest way to sell a new longboard?

So I bought a sick longboard this winter, never used it, and then got hurt. Won't be able to use it for a longg time and want to get rid of it. Have had it on Sell/trade for a while and eBay, craigslist, silverfish. No luck. It does not qualify for returns anymore at the shop I bought it from.

So, NS, how do I get some money for this thing instead of have it sit in the corner of my dorm room staring at my crippled self and not get used?

Also, here is the link if you want to know more (or buy it!)

Post in every facebook b/s/t you can and bring down the price. Anyone buying off of those pages won't pay that close to list price

You'll sell it for $185, having a 1 instead of a 2 in front makes a big difference.

hmmm idk. Good deck, grip, bearings, and bushings. The bears and oragutangs are killing it for me though. A ton of people aren't huge fans of either. So that might be making it hard because most people arent going to buy a complete with those on it.

Maybe try and split it up. Would be easier to sell the bears and orangutangs as singles.

Idk, the 80a otangs (Orange) in square lipped forms are pretty great wheels (inheats and 4pres). The bears are definitely killing it for me.

That being said, I don't think you'd get more than 150 for the full setup even if it is brand new, especially since eastside isn't really a super sought after brand. You could try for 185 though!

I just dont like the otang urethane at all. Never found it smooth sliding. Too choppy for me. Better wheels for the money ya know?

I would also say around 150. Eastside is never really sells to hot.

You think I could split it up and go 35 for the wheels, 35 for the trucks (with all my extra bushings), and then like 130 for the Deck/bearings/grip/hardware?

yeah you might be able to do that for trucks and wheels, but for the deck no way (it's 100 brand new, and with vicious griptape it's 114 with free ship)

Don't sell the bearings with the deck, sell them with the wheels (wheels and bearings for 45 or something i guess)
