Skate and Annoy: Daily

eBay Watch: May 2010

Well I’m really excited about the selection this month. April was tough, but I really enjoyed mining for decks in May. There were tons of interesting decks, some that went for big $, and some that didn’t, but were interesting nonetheless. And lots of cool colorways too! This was actually one of my favorite columns to write, and a lot of it was written while I was waiting to be called up while at jury duty! At least I put the 3-hour wait to good use!

  • Just discovered your column and it’s definitely great, addictive!

  • I love reading your monthly reports! Great stuff! I just wanted to respectfully point out that Gregg Ayres has at least 4 different signature decks that I know of, two with Tunnel (graphics are a sticker of Gregg’s red arrow with Tunnel logo) and 2 Sims decks, one that’s 12″ wide. Let me know if you want pics. Regards, Mike

  • Thanks for the latest update mate – I love tuning into these every month. Keep up the good work.

    RE: How to display the Skate Wing.
    Hang it from the ceiling so it looks like it’s an airplane banking a turn. Maybe you could make some WWII model airplanes and hang them , too, so it looks like a dogfight.

  • Awesome EBay Watch, as usual!

    Those Eddie Reaugatis are so excellent!

    Thanks for featuring my Reggie Barnes. The mummy seems to be screened in a thicker high gloss paint, surrounded by more flat tones making it literally pop out of the tomb, almost 3-D like. Really sweet graphic effects.

  • Cool, as usual !
    Thx HoNeil.

  • Thanks for mentioning the new DEVO album. I missed that one. I sampled it and it sounded good.

    As to the conundrum about which version to buy, iTunes has a deluxe version (16 songs and a video) for $12.99, a regular version (12 songs) for 10.99. Amazon has 15 tracks for 9.99 The Devo blog said Target had it on sale this week for 8.99, but when I went over there it was 9.99 and the CD had 12 tracks. I decided to go with the deluxe. It also has an iTunes album interface with images, video,liner notes

    Just when you think it never comes;there is the next month’s Watch!
    I love to read it,great job again Neil!Most completes in a month ever?
    I followed some auctions but a lot of others I seem to have missed this time.
    I gotta work harder on the searching part…And I guess no cool freestyle decks this time.On to the next watch!

    AAAAAGHHH! I meant WHITE shadows, not shite shadows! Kilwag, please fix that for me if you can in the Mountain review!!!

  • “Shite Shadows” on the Lance FP? Now THAT’S what I call an innovative graphic 🙂
    That Brand-X complete is the dog’s bollocks, and I’m digging the Lamar, too.

  • I love to check out your eBay Watch posts! There are always so many decks that I completely missed. That Roskopp collection is fantastic! Well, kinda steep in price but that would look amazing on a wall! Good post bro!
