eBay Watch: September 2012
So welcome to the September 2012 edition of eBayWatch. I’m sorry that it so late, but that brings up something I want to talk to you all about. The way Baywatch is put together right now is just too much work for me to complete on a timely basis. Something has to give, either fewer […]

eBay Watch: August 2012
So welcome to the August 2012 edition of eBayWatch. It was an exceptional month not just for prices, but also because some truly amazing decks went off. I don’t think that I can ever remember a month like this one! So sit down and strap in because I think you’re going to enjoy the ride! […]

eBay Watch: July 2012
So welcome to eBayWatch, July 2012 edition. It was an average month really, nothing really stood out at all. Maybe most skaters are busy out there skating rather than collecting! But don’t worry, things are really picking up! August looks absolutely insane so far with no sign of slowing down. So enjoy this month but […]

eBay Watch: June 2012
So welcome to eBayWatch, June 2012 edition. There seemed to be a ton of great 80s decks but I really had to struggle to fins ten 70s and 90s decks. And don’t even ask about the miscellaneous section because it’s pretty thin this month. But the 80s section is packed, so enjoy that one. My […]

eBay Watch: May 2012
So welcome to eBayWatch, May 2012 edition. And it was another great month, especially in the 90s section, due to a famous skate artist selling off some of his own collection! There’s some insane stuff that went off, but the 70s and 80s had their fair share of big hits and cool looking unusual ones […]

eBay Watch: April 2012
So welcome to eBayWatch, April 2012 edition. And what a month it has been! I don’t remember a month in recent memory having so many interesting and high-priced decks go off at the same time. The Natas is insane, but so is the Dogtown Biniak. And honorable mention has to go to the Billy Ruff […]

eBay Watch: March 2012
So welcome to eBayWatch, March 2012 edition. First of all I have to take some time to thank each and every one of you for writing in with your condolences at the passing of my father. Whether it was here, on Facebook, or via email, every message has helped me get through this, so thanks […]

eBay Watch: February 2012
So welcome to eBay Watch, February 2012 edition, the edition that wasn’t supposed to come out. I really didn’t think I was going to publish this month. Unfortunately I lost my dad and had to fly back to England for 2 weeks to go to the funeral etc. So Randy made the obvious assumption that […]

eBay Watch: January 2012
Welcome to eBayWatch, January 2012 edition. Well, if you cast your mind back to December, I was worried that January was looking pretty lame after the crazed auctions hat led up to Xmas, but I needn’t have worried. January still had plenty of fun decks that went off, some at high prices, some at reasonable […]

eBay Watch: December 2011
Welcome to eBayWatch, December 2011 edition. As is the case every Christmas season, there were tons of decks that went over the $1k mark, and the prices went up the closer to Xmas it got! A lot of very lucky guys got awesome Christmas presents this year, but that is balanced out by the fact […]

eBay Watch: November 2011
So, welcome to eBayWatch, November 2011 edition. You will notice a change this month. The bargains section is gone. It was getting too hard to scour for those every month. It would take about as much time to find 10 of those as it took to find the other 45 items in all of the […]

eBay Watch: September 2011
So, welcome to eBayWatch, September 2011 edition. Sorry it’s so late everybody. I was in England for 2 weeks visiting family in mid October and I didn’t take a laptop, so no work got done during that period. Then I caught the flu from somebody on the plane, and then I had a ton of […]

ebay Watch: August 2011
So, welcome to eBayWatch, August 2011 edition. August was a fun month, with a lot of great looking decks going for some big cash, but the major talking point was probably the Grosso. I tried to show a greater variety of 70s decks this month, and I’m also pretty happy with the 90s selection that […]
Posted by: House of Neil on September 25th, 2011
ebay Watch: July 2011
So, welcome to July’s eBayWatch. July was a hot month with a ton of decks breaking the $1,000 barrier, and quite a few going significantly higher than that! There was a lot of variation this month, with some decks going off that you don’t see all the time. The exception to that would be in […]
Posted by: House of Neil on August 21st, 2011
eBay Watch: June 2011
So, welcome to episode #101 of eBayWatch, or episode #99, depending on how you’re counting! June didn’t quite explode as I hoped it would, but still there are some great decks that came up this month and I think you’ll enjoy it. We had lots of decks that broke the $1000 barrier in both the […]

eBay Watch: May 2011 – #100!
So, welcome to episode #100 of eBayWatch, or episode #98, depending on how you’re counting it up! I’ve done 97 of these monthly reports and 2 specials on the $6000 Hawk and the $6099 Strople. So that makes this either #98, or #100, depending on how you count it up. Either way, it was shaping […]

eBay Watch: April 2011
I tell you what; April 2011 was one of my favorite months in a very long time. We had a ton of not only great looking decks, but some interesting ones too: decks you don’t see too often or decks with an interesting history. Months like this almost write themselves because I enjoy looking at […]

eBay Watch: March 2011
March was an excellent month on eBay, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to do it justice! I’ve just gotten back from vacation so I’m really behind. This month is gonna be one of those quickies I’m afraid. I’m not skimping on the number of decks, but will be minimizing the commentary, so […]
Posted by: House of Neil on April 25th, 2011
eBay Watch: February 2011
February was an interesting month, and not just because of the decks that went off. Don’t get me wrong; there were some great decks going off, but none for the crazy prices that we saw in January. No, February was more a return to normalcy. However, there were some interesting doings outside of eBay. First […]

eBay Watch: January 2011
January was a fun month overall. Normally we get the post Xmas letdown in January because everybody is all spent up, but not this year. We got plenty of high priced decks in every category with a number of decks going for over $2000. Alva decks of every description were going super high, and we had a couple of classic Chinese rip-off graphics. Plus a great selection of bargain decks too.
