Want to sell 2 Mistral Ultra Light long boards
Question
I have 2 Mistral Ultra Light long boards that we used about 20 years ago. They have been stored in our garage ever since. I would like to sell them but have no idea what they are worth. We have 4 sails (don't know the size as they are still in the attic) and the complete rigging setups.
Can you offer any suggestions. I can get them out and take pictures if that would help
Answer
Hey Carol,
The value of older windsurf gear varies greatly. The general factors include location, number of sailors in your area, and the amount of used gear available in your area. In my area near the Gorge, older used gear is plentiful and usually very inexpensive. In some areas the same gear will go for three or four times more than it would here. So, it would be difficult for me to assign any specific value to your gear.
To determine what you could possibly get for your gear I would suggest that you check out ebay and craigslist for comparable gear. Then list your gear and see if there is any interest. If no interest, then you may need to lower your asking price.
Hope this helps.
Keep on sailing,
