This vintage 1977 Burton snowboard just sold on eBay for an earth-staggering $31,313.13 – that’s the same as 54 brand new Burton Customs, 62 XBox Ones or the base price for a brand new BMW-3 series car.
At 31k, this is quite possibly the most expensive snowboard ever sold, and at that price, you’d hardly want to be taking it for some spring laps would you now?

And here’s the Q&A section from the eBay listing:
A: Hi, The owner actually helped Jake make this board back in 1977. He states it’s completely original. He used it only a couple times and has kept it in dry storage ever since. We have seen first hand, repos/fakes of old Londonderry’s and this board along with its power cord, handle and fin all have tell tell signs of true age. Let me know of any further questions.
A: Hi Bryan, Thank you for your questions. Yes we (VintageWinter.com) are selling this item for the current owner. He really wanted a transparent auction format and our website could not provide this. We have done extensive due diligence and have authenticated this board. It’s currently in our museum archival storage in Bend, Oregon. If you would like to see it in person we can arrange this for you. Commercial and private airstrips are minutes away. The board was meticulously preserved by a trained curation technician with an industry premium microcrystalline wax polish. This is the real deal. Let me know of any further questions. Nick
