Skate and Annoy: Daily
eBay Watch #100 (!) – May 2011
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 up to be a pretty dismal month until an industry player sold a bunch of stuff at the end of May, boosting what was a pretty lackluster month of 80s stuff into an interesting one after all. The 70s section was always very strong though, so that’s good. Add to that the usual number of bargains and a ridiculous article of clothing, and it all ending up coming together pretty nicely. And no worries, from what I’m seeing so far, June is shaping up very well too!

Real Ray Barbee Rag Doll
Neil doesn’t cover the international listings of eBay so I’m not stepping on his toes with this UK listing of a Ray Barbee soft sculpture doll made by some old birds at Powell to mimic his graphic. Allegedly owned by Sean Cliver at one time. What say you Sean? – Thanks to Jon Haynes for the tip.
We’re famous?
Well, maybe not famous, but apparently semi popular. An anonymous tipster told me about our listing in the Urban Dictionary that dates back to 2006. I guess I don’t google myself enough. At least they got the order right… number one, as in we coined the term in 1985 and haven’t quit since! So suck it, 12 year old kid on Youtube! Check out “Example 3” from the listing, Example to #3: I went to a Kids Like Us show last night and Skate and Annoy was fighting people talking shit. That’s pretty funny. I think I’ll talk about S&A in the third person from now on. Skate and Annoy over and out.
Shillside celebrates one year
Shillside in Switzerland recently celebrated it’s one year anniversary and so here to jinx it are four photos from Nicolas Büchi. The crew behind it is also involved with September Wheels and because all good hearted people are connected through the cosmos and the plate-of-shrimp lattice of coincidence, they even have a local chapter of C.R.E.T.E. courtesy of Born Ugly. Concrete D.I.Y. is rad, but let’s get those teleportation devices happening so We can visit them all. Four pictures and a video of Shillside after the jump.
Sit on it Potsie
Well… RollingFoot from Japan sells these chairs made from skateboards or pieces made to look like skateboards, some custom fabricated legs and then, you know, skateboard trucks and wheels. The chair looks kind of cool but seems not very practical.. Seems like it would be annoying to actually use it as a chair. They also sell all kinds of wacky miniature and six-wheeled skateboards. {Source: CrunchGear] – Thanks to Seth Levy for the tip.
