New eBay Record!
Man, I’ve been remiss with this one because it happened right before Christmas! Big news! We have a new champion! Behold, the new high priced champ of ebay! The $6,000 Hawk is no longer the high price champ. On December 18 2007 a Caster Chris Strople was won at auction for $6,099. It’s a flat deck with 2 layers of fiberglass between the plies. It’s been set up and ridden, and has a Woody space plate on the tail.
What’s more amazing to me is that it’s not mint or really even close. It’s in good condition sure, but has some dings and some rub marks on the wheel-wells. Plus, the nose guard and tail guard really detract in my humble opinion. And the graphic? Well, there really isn’t one, so it won’t look like much hanging on the wall. But of course, it’s not as if these show up every day, so those are probably minor quibbles. It was probably a grail that they buyer’s been searching for for years, so congratulations! And the seller? It probably went higher than his wildest dreams. So well done to both of you!
And before I get any emails, I know that decks have probably fetched more than this in private transactions, but this is an ebay column, so that’s my focus.
