which is why ....
 
I no longer ship boards...... first it is expensive to buy the box/make the box and other packing materials to do the job correctly.

Secondly it takes TIME to do it properly too. [By the time it is completed one might have two or three hours in time, in addition to $30.00 JUST in materials to ship the box.

Third, you have to pay the shipper, in which many cases one has to get charged extra because the box is over sized, which could be another $30.00....so there is $60.00 in hard charges not to mention the labor, and I don't know anyone who wants to work for FREE!

Fourth, ..... I no longer care to listen to all the whining about the shipping cost of a board. It is not worth the time or aggravation.:cool:

So if you want one, ........get one at BuzzFest or some other event that I am at, that is the way I am selling them.

He tracked down the truck using hs superior Sasquatchian hunting skills and stomped the box to bits. He was given a good spanking and kicked off the team. Now if I can only get that stench off my hands..... My appologes to Ken. :(

so that explains it. a source, that wishes to remain unnamed, sent me this photo. i thought that it was photoshopped, but i guess not.

i hear ya, rip. i had been contemplating whether or not i wanted to build boards for sale, but i am leaning in the direction of "if i can't hand it to ya' in person, i don't want to do it."

Yeah, that's Clyde all right. He tried to deny it, but he had incriminating UPS stickers stuck to the bottom of his feet. :o

here's the board after repair. there is still a little bit of tweaking left to do, but overall, it runs well. sorry about the dark exposure, i shot this at 1:30 am. this is at about 3/4 power.
