If you want to look good on the slopes, then you can't go far wrong with a Burton Cruzer 160 snowboard. But at £185 from extremesports.ltd.uk, it's not a snip. Can you find a better deal?

Tell us about it here, and we'll give the best tipster a case of wine courtesy of Virgin Money. Other models are available but we're looking for the 2006 Burton Cruzer 160 model with a board running length of 1220mm.

Pedal power to Karlie for his or her Brompton fold-up bike bargain. Wine on its way to you.

Shopping tips and more on this Challenge here.

If you go on to his link again and click the burton cruzer link on the right hand side you would notice that the image reappears and above the list of boards on the right hand side is a heading saying "PRE ORDER 2005 BOARDS".

OK, this isn't a deal I found on a site/in a shop, it's a price I haggled (with a real shop in London, who also have a website), but I can get this board for £164.99.
If you're interested in finding out how, goto www.haggle4me.com and look up the board, and click "I want one too!", you'll have to pay for the info @ the end of the listing though.
By the way, about the case of wine (if it's still available, PM me and I'll send you details of where to get it for £164.99 for free (don't try tricking me either, usernames like "C4 Chat Manager" won't cut it :P (unless of course, that's really who you are hehe)

Well if I was going to buy a snowboard I think I'd put up with one slightly shorter to get one at this price (especially as a lot of the boards are the same price whichever size) Big Grin
http://www.roho.co.uk/snowboard/snowboarding_offers.html

Price is £123

On the other hand surely this one is cheaper:

http://www.loot.co.nz/Main/ListDisplayItem.aspx?onlinea...&hdnAFFINITY=1392182

195 new zealand $ which I get as £75.1803 leaving lots of cash for postage Cool

Oi! You cheek monkey... that was my listing on haggle4me! I've never been snowboarding and don't need a board but could do with a case of wine!

Coz I'm not that good at finding deals myself I thought I'd get someone else to do it for me. Sometimes it's not what you know but who you know!!

The deal Thewyzewun found for ME:

Best price:
£164.99
Haggle supplier:
Conspiracy Clothing
Special instructions:
I negotiated this special price on your behalf, with Conspiracy Clothing of London.
Give Jamie a call on 0870 752 8880 on Friday (if not to order, at least to tell him you'll call him back).

Does that mean I'm now winning? Surely buying from abroad can't count - what about extra postage, insurance costs, import duties and taxes?!?

Buy in the EU and there are no extra taxes or import duties you just have to pay postage.
