Interested in peoples' thoughts on this one.

I recently bought a board which was described as "excellent condition". Upon receiving the board the very first thing I noticed was a massive repair on the nose. It looks like a reasonable repair, but a very large one nonetheless that covered both top and bottom of the board as well as the rail. I then I found another repair on the rails, not so well done.

My question is this, is the description "excellent condition" an honest reflection of a board that's in fact been repaired a couple of times? Should the seller be obliged to make mention of the repairs in their advertisement?

I will not as yet mention the seller, but I am certainly interested in what people think.

For comparison - EBay require a description of condition, and also provide advice as to what constitutes good or excellent.

I would also be interested in whether people think buyers/sellers should be able to rate each other as happens on EBay.
