Has anyone had a Starboard stolen in far Northern CA recently? I saw this on eBay and it seems like the person listing it doesn't have any idea of what it is or what it's worth:

SUP Category?

Windsail-surfboard?

Shipping: $7.75?

How about $200-300 for us civilians?

Yeah ... I'd say it was stolen.

The serial number is clearly shown. It should be traceable.

It asks for questions at the bottom of the add, but you have to be a member to ask, which I'm not, but somebody should ask "how hot is it?", and then watch the add disappear.

The eBay member has only been on eBay since Apr30/2016. He has positive feedback which appear to be purchases, could be small to gain positive feedback.

The item description is odd. The shipping cost is unrealistic.

The member posted his email address in the action, very odd,
BUT you don't need to be a member to ask questions.


If it looks like a duck , quacks like a duck...

Could be a steal in more ways than one, or not

Very Happy

Me, neither. I've never been able to place an order through eBay, online or via live phone calls to Customer Service. It's easier, quicker, and much less frustrating to drive to a store 10 miles away.

Paypal is worse. They ADMITTED IN WRITING that it is their policy and practice to deny requests for sending customers money they admit owing them ... to just credit my account instead, as though I used the damned system daily instead of once every few years. I had to harass them for a year to get what they admitted owing me.
