10 decks for 25 bucks or less makes them sound like shit....but i dont think I could really go wrong with that lol. anyone think theres something wrong with them, or theyre just cheap (cost wise) canadian maple decks?

go for it mate, everybody asks if this deck is bad or good. but just go out and find out for yourself, if they turn out shitty. sell them to someone else, for ten bucks each.

I've heard they're bad (the poplites) they break easy. Thats just what I heard though, it might be completely wrong.
I just bought some from the seller "coilovers" about 2 weeks ago and they are really good. I think it was like $70 for 5 decks shipped.

The TGM ones had the worst shape. I made a good $100 profit off of em though.

heh i noticed the outrageous shipping and handling charge
it doesnt cost that much to ship, but they still get the money anyways
found someone on there who has a blank deck shop for around 12-13 bucks a board, cant really go wrong with that
so 20th, how much did you sell them for? i was thinking around 18 at my skatepark, or just back on ebay.

never buy boards from wstwo or watever his name is, atleast if ur ordering boards from him that are actually suppost to be brand name boards cuz there fakes. he just take a blank and screen prints on the graphic or sumtin like that. i got 3 habitats from him or so i thought and the description said that all the boards were 8.5, so i thought thats weird, then i looked on the habitat site and saw wat the actual sizes should have been, then i just figured he didnt kno the sizes or sumtin like that so i went ahead and ordered them and the shipping was insanely expensive and slow. then i got them and they were actually 8.5 so then i could clearly tell they where fakes. then i skated them, the graphic flaked, and habitats graphics dont fucking flake and there was no habitat symbol on the top of the deck or ne thing which ive never seen b4. so i gave the guy a bad review and he said that he just special orders the decks from habitat which has to be absolute bullshit cuz he would have to prolly pay a 100 bucks for each deck, so he wouldnt fuckin sell 3 custom habitats for 80 bucks, so then i decided to go to a local shop and get a real dna board, and they had the real version of one of my fakes! the 2 didnt even come close to matching in size. so just dont fuck around with that asshole

There are explanations for that. Bobby Worrest gave me a Crooked board that 8.75 inches, they don't make those for the public. He possibly has connections with someone who does get boards sized diffrently. Even then, who cares? You still got three planks for $80. Stop complaining and actually skate them. You don't sound smart enough to realize the diffrence between blanks and graphic boards. That DNA was a waste of money (their distributor is shit anyway) and you have three perfectly fine "fake" boards now.
Ryuken- I sold them for about $20. I haggled all the kids to get the most money. I got one kid to pay $38.
