Used market
What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
Capita Indoor Survival
Long-running Capita freestyle board with a steady used supply. Prices should follow condition, not nostalgia. Watch for rail rash and blown sidewalls; older FK-titled listings should not price like a recent Indoor Survival.
Capita Mercury
Stiffer all-mountain Capita. Fewer used listings than the DOA, and buyers pay more for a clean base. Mega Mercury is a different, scarcer board — do not treat them as the same used buy.
