Default good price for used wakeboard?

I've been looking for a wakeboard to try to learn. Is a jobe pilot wakeboard any good? would $80 be too much for one that looks brand new with bindings.

which brings up another question, the bindings look different than like, the full foot bindings, what are the differences in bindings?

Thanks

Default Re: good price for used wakeboard?

from what others have indicated, some of the new style bindings make it more prone to injury in the ankle since they hold your foot in so good. The older bindings your feet will pop out if you fall. Which will prevent injury to the anke. If you can find a wakeboard for under $150 take it. Most people, I think, invest in a wakeboard($300 and up) then find out it's too difficult and then turn around and sell it for $250 on up since it's virtually new.
