Default which drifter is best for sliding?

apparently not mine...i've had the deck up, on and off in buy/sell for over 6 months. idk if i'm asking too much, or what...to me, $70 shipped is a good deal. the deck is in great condish, and i figure that USPS priority shipping with a tracking number will be somewhere around $20...so, the deck itself is $50 plus ship. i've recently tried sellign the board (complete) to the local skateshop, who would only give me $50 FOR THE WHOLE DMAN COMPLETE! bleh, i'm just pissed i guess
[/rant]

so, idk if i want to keep this deck around as a spare slide deck or what...currently, it's a "cruiser" with soft noskool clones and indy trucks...but, i could potentially keep it like that, or use it, as i said, for a spare/backup slider. my other option would be to semi-shlongify it, and turn it into a pseudo-superglider (pseudoglider?). or, finally, i could try to sell it locally...idk if i'd take it to a skatepark or what, sell it on craigslist, whatever.

so, any comments?

I recently aquired one of these from a trade and the shipping with 2 sets of wheels was under 15 dollars, I think it was like 12 something. Do you still have the other things from the complete mainily the trucks? I would take those off your hands

oh? my clb eleanor was like $13 for shipping, but i mailed a 34" pool board out once and it was $18 or so. made NO sense to me, because the clb was a bigger, heavier package...but whatevs. i suppose my best bet would be to say $50 plus ship, then get a shipping quote.

and...nah, you're not getting the trucks

doesn't the drifter retail for like 80 bucks? I think people might just buy a new one instead because it's only a 10 dollar difference. I know you're selling the deck for technically 50 bucks, but the bottom line for the buyer is that it's still only 10 buck less.

You're asking way too much. Used parts sell quickly when you charge ≤60% of the retail price out the door. They don't sell when you charge 90% of retail.

is this for the complete or just the deck? cause if it's for the complete it is an extremely reasonable price.
