Recently I picked up a 60’s Rick’s Dru Harrison Improvisor which is in fair to good condition. The board is 9’6. Two small dings and nothing else really. I was just wondering if anybody could help me with approximate values of this board. Any help would be appreciated.

(mint condition) so my guess is its worth between 300-600. realistically

I’m not an expert on this subject, but I’d say somewhere around $800 at the least. The value of anything is how much someone is willing to pay. In your case, it sounds like the board is in good condition, so your board should have a high value. Checking boards out on ebay is a good place to see how much people are willing to pay for old boards.

I am what you might call an old time “horse trader”…the board might bring a grand on E bay but it is more complicated than you think with payments shipping etc.Board collecting is for rich guys…not me.Here is an example,I got a cherry old Greg Noll for $300.00 and sold it the same day for $500.00.I knew that it was worth at least a grand in the right market but the market is hard to find.I made a nice profit for a phone call and left it up to the next guy.He was happy and so was I.The best thing to do is hang on to it,it will never go down in value and is a part of history.
Patch it up well and ride it. keep it for special days(Birthday surfs, fathers days, paddle outs, christmas go outs,late october souths etc.) Don’t restore it,just cleanly patch it.They say it was one of the great riders.if you sell it sell it to someone who will love and ride it. Enjoy! Go surfing!

Enjoy! > Go surfing! I found that in collecting boards, the fun was in the search. I never had much of a collection, but I did get one or two vintage boards. But you know what? Once you get the board, its like ok…what now? You hang it…look at it. You paid so much you dont want to ride it, for fear of losing its value. Boards were meant to be ridden…ride them. Walls are for hanging pictures.

First off, the board is not worth now what it was two or three years ago. The market is just not there any more. In todays market, a fair to good Dru with the original fin is worth about $500-$650 bucks if you can find someone who will buy it for that much. If $500-650 will net you a profit then take it. Nobody ever went broke making a profit.
i agree with clay. you have to take what you can get in this market.

I’ve sold boards through e-bay and have had some bad experiences all around. From bounced or fraudulent checks to bidders who rack up the price with no intention of buying. It is a headache. If you have a private buyer that is interested go with him. Saves a lot of grief. I’d also agree that the market for boards is very depressed. 4 to 5 hundred for a fair to good Dru Harrison is right on the mark.

Checking boards out on ebay is a good place to > see how much people are willing to pay for old boards. If you can get $800 for it take it and run. I have 2 Drus that i would be happy getting $300 and they are in real nice shape. Nobody wants to pay for these boards anymore. Stock market goes down and takes everything else with it. Don’t outprice yourself if you’re selling. I’ve scared away a few buyers that way.
Hey Clark-I am interested in your boards, how long are they? Where are you?

I been to many auctions and seen boards sell for $1000s to $10.00. I can’t understand the prices, the boards are not as valued as they were a few years ago. The only board the I would pay over $500.00 is the Greg Noll Da’cat. I say get what you can, with today’s economy you will be lucky to sell it at all. Good Luck.

It would depend on the buyer… I have seen the newer models they are going for about 500. You might get the same price, if it is in good condition.
