Discussing Roy's surfboard designs.

that is an incredible gereralization of the way our freemarket system works. While yes a hack like roy can charge whatever he wants for a wooden surfboard that does not do anything but float, the other side of the freemarket system is that a buyer will only be willing to pay what he thinks the item is worth. In Roys case the surfboard is really only worth the material and a judgement on what the level of difficulty is in the labor.

that is the reason why EVERYONE thinks Roy is a crazy kook who can't be taken seriously. I believe he had done a world of harm to himself by continueing this thread.

Can we all just agree to not post on this thread so that is vanishes down the threat tree... just if everyone agree's to stop posting we'll be done with this ridiculous thread...

 

Yes, please end this thread.

 

Admin can you please shutdown this thread? Roy will just go on and on. What do we need to do to get this thread stopped, start using racial slurs?

 

Roy the responsibility is on you to prove that your boards are worth more then the materials that are used.
I think you need to take a business class. And by the way, your boards are not really comparable to any sort of "highly valued" art. they are just heavy logs. I have a 9 foot crestwood surfboard. the board was made in the 60's. It is the heaviest thing I have every carried to the beach. Its also the fastest board I've ever surfed and I'm certain that it is faster than your boards. UNLESS YOU PROVE OTHERWISE.

 

Yes, I am wrong, yet you posted no links or information to prove you point. Good job, you showed me.

 

Had to borrow from the other forum.

 

Deuteronomy - 4:15-18 - Then God Said to Roy Stuart - "Roy, I have blessed you with the ability of a craftsman. Go and use this ability to provide surfboards to the fabulously wealthy for outrageously large sums of money. Prosper, Roy. One day you will actually sell one of these cocakamaney surfboards to a Goldman Sachs D Bag and then, Roy, then YOU will be the one laughing on the Swell Info Forum!"

 

I had to laugh at that one!

 

Im wondering.... does the advertised price include sales tax or is the price he give not include tax???

 

He's not lying. As soon as you concede the last word the conversation is over.

I think this thread came to an agreement a couple pages ago. It's all based on what your personal definition of performance is and how you want to surf.

Everything else has been fluctuating between annoying and amusing.

RID, it seems like your a little butt hurt that your board didn't get the respect you wanted.... Imagine if you were Roy, could you react as calmly?

 

so excellent to see the typical pile on tactics of the swellinfo herd thwarted by logic.

yeah, shut this thread down - this guy's a serious threat to all of us non-kooks in the USA, USA, USA!
