I'm looking a used Arbor wooden top sheet board to be wall mounted as decoration in the man cave. Since its going to be used purely as decoration, condition of the base and edges doesn't really matter at all, and dings and nicks in the top sheet are fine as long as its something that could be sanded and refinished (no huge chunks missing)
Since this is going to be just for display and not for riding, this probably isn't a good candidate for the 2011 Coda that you only rode twice and want 70% of retail for. But if you have an old Element, A-Frame or something similar that's been ridden hard for years and its time for it to retire, or a newer board that's got some nasty base damage, here's a good chance to get a few bucks for it.
I don't own the boards below, this is just a picture I found online to give an idea of what I'm looking for.
Sorry, I'm looking for something with the wood top and minimal decal. Something along the lines of an A-frame, Element, Roundhouse, or Woodie like the ones pictured below.
you might try contacting Arbor with this request. i'm sure they have alot of unridable defective boards, warranty claims, etc. laying around the factory.
I sent them an email, we'll see what happens. I'm not too hopeful as previous experience with this sort of thing tells me that they won't send a damaged or defective product to the public no matter what, and that's still assuming that Arbor actually manufactures their own boards (I have no idea if they do or not, but that's a bit of a rarity these days from what I understand).
I've sent a few emails to craigslist ads, but I'm East coast where I've yet to see an Arbor on craigslist anywhere in New England, so I have to hope that one of the West coast guys I email doesn't assume I'm a pirate and is willing to ship.

another idea is to check the REI 'member garage sales' that happen i think in the spring... its all the gear that REI members return and they sell arbor there
Yep. I saw an Element at a REI garage sale a couple years ago that was utterly fucking destroyed. It looked like it had been ridden through a gravel quarry. I couldn't believe they were actually trying to sell it.
The REI right near Sunnyvale CA,I heard had a limit of the numbers of times people would return snowboards...dirtbags would use it as a demo. i have seen quite a few Jeremy Jones flagships there for sale.
