Call it the Xmas blahs, call it whatever you will, but I didn’t check eBay too much during the holiday season. Too busy buying presents that didn’t involve skating perhaps. Anyway, here’s what I did find.
Powell
Here’s a handsome Cab (get it?). Silver paint, and matching rails and trucks. Sweet full dragon. $308.
And here’s another silver Powell complete, this time the Vato Rat. This is totally bizarre. This one went off in July as a complete for $255. It had all of the white plastic as you see here. For some reason the buyer added the bright pink lapper and put it up again. I guess the lapper added almost $100 to the value, because this time it went for $349.
Assorted
Up first we have this limited edition Dogtown. Actually, I don’t think it’s a Dogtown per se, I think it’s a limited edition recent Bulldog . Whatever it is, it got the Wes Humpston collectors out in full force. $748.
Remember Seaflex? Every so often one shows up on eBay. This one is pretty rare thoughthe Bob Denike model. The deck is in top flight condition, and I bet those are stage I or II Indys. $102 is a real bargain for this complete.
orlac John Gibson mini. Pretty beat up, and notice how the photo doesn’t show the tail. Something’s being hidden here. $177.
The Jason Jessee “Guadalupe” always goes in this range: $275. It’s being reissued in a few months, so we’ll see what that does to its value.
This Blind Jason Lee came out in 1991. You don’t see this one very often. That’s all I’ve got to say. $455.
Aaaah yes. The original G&S Chris Miller from 1983. A very rare mint deck: you seldom see it in any condition. Nice blue paint on this one. Definitely of its time. $325.
A lot of blue Salbas have gone off recently. This one fetched a paltry $405. If I’d gotten a Xmas bonus, this could have been mine.
Finally this month we have these outrageously wide Pool Rat wheels. How wide? Look at the picture. That’s a modern day Powell wheel down there. Holy shit! $124 for the set.
See you in January and I promise I’ll have more shit for you!
