eclipse skate board

This may sound a little silly/ironic but how does a skateboard cost £100? How can their be sooo much of a price range? I mean with guns, you pay for the technology/weight/performance, but how can skateboard components be so differing? Obviously bearings/design/etc comes into play and so forth, but I can't see how there can be £100 worth of build quality/design in a skateboard.

I suppose you could say the same about everything really. My trainers cost £60, and they're not too different from any other trainers out there.

Did I answer my own question or am I talking balls?

EDIT: If ever there was a post that didn't need to be written, it was this one.

Must admit i'm struggling to see why Planet have brought out a board, wonder if Flip will bring out a hate, kill, destroy marker?
