I called them up before making a purchase on the Rossignol Mini 123 to see if they equipment was legit or if it was factory seconds. They said it was brand new, and even confirmed that it was still in the wrapping. The board arrived in a flimsy plastic bag with minimal bubble wrap. I opened it up just now and noticed that there is rust along the edge and there are three nicks/chips on the top edge. There are also show marks, probably from people trying their stance on the board in the store. This is the first board that I've ever owned, so is the rust a normal occurrence?

At least I only Paid $118 ($220 retail) for the board. I guess it goes to show that you really get what you pay for.

Pics are below:

I don't mind the nicks on the top, but is there any way that I can get rid of the rust? Would Oxyclean work as advertised? Assuming the rust can be removed, is there any way to protect the metal from rusting again?

Does anyone have any experience buying from VALUE SPORTS: Discount Burton snowboards, skis, snowboard boots & bindings ??

They have some really good deals it seems with '08 boards, Burton Second boards, and even some '07 boards. I'm looking for a few boards for a few friends of mine that just want a cheap board to learn on and I actually found valuesports through Amazon. They are selling a bunch of things through amazon.com but they actually only have one rating over the past 12 months (5 out of 5 stars).

I did a search on this forum and only one person has ever mentioned the site in this post:
"Burton Missions: $109 from valuesports.com...I'm diggin the color of the green cartels, but valuesports only has them in small..." - Minger (Senior Member)

I looked on google and i've seen other people mention valuesports in other forums saying they have cheap stuff but feedback was neither negative nor positive and nobody has said specifically that they've had experience purchasing from them before.

Purchased my Burton Custom 158 with Cartel Winterfresh bindings from SierraSnowboard...
I love their price... Can't argue with 50%! But the only thing that troubles me is their conflicting information. When I was talking with their sales rep about board color preferences, one of the reps told me to call back after I've placed my order, and they should be able to get me the color I want. With that in mind, I've placed my order and called in to ask for the color I wanted. Then the rep on the phone told me that I get no choices and they will ship whatever color they want (with white being the dominant color). When I mentioned the screen name of the rep that told me the option, the phone rep told me that person told me the wrong information. I won't know what color I will get until I get my board... If only they told me it is not possible, I would purchase different color on the bindings (or perhaps a different board from a different store)....

Buysnow.com bought my Rome agent from them last year around this time. Killer deals! Boardzone.com has good deals at the end of the season. EvoGear.com I just got my new bindings from them, cheapest on the web!
