eBay Watch: November 2006

Hey everybody. Well it appears that we are in the yearly eBay slump. Seriously. I’ve never seen so many auctions go off where the decks didn’t meet reserve. There are some great bargains out there on decks that don’t have a reserve: I will list a couple, but go on there and do some digging. […]

eBay Watch: October 2006

Due to feedback on the column, this month I’m starting a “weird” auctions section, that features some of the more unusual items from the skateboards section of eBay. As always, this stuff is totally random; whatever catches my eye. I may miss some stuff that goes off, but hey, that’s life. If you guys see […]

eBay Watch: September 2006

Thanks for all of the comments you guys are leaving on the Baywatch thingies. It’s great to know that people are even looking at these ramblings, let alone enjoying them! I’m wondering though, what do you think of the length of them? Too long? Not enough? Let me know your thoughts. Also, do you want […]

eBay Watch: August 2006

Nobody bashed the July Baywatch on Skull and Bones, so I guess I must have done an OK job! Kilwag, thanks for inserting the comments section. It’s cool to see what people think, and it’s a way for instant corrections. Cool stuff. Just out of interest, how many hits a month does the site get? […]

eBay Watch: July 2006

I have some corrections to make from the June 2006 report, as some contributors to a collectors online message board were "kind” enough to point out. How about emailing me next time guys? First I showed a Jason Jessee "hotrod” that I said went off for $566. The seller says that he pulled the auction, […]

eBay Watch: June 2006

I got some good feedback from the new format I started last week, so I’m going to continue doing it by era. Some of the era choice might not be 100% accurate, but sometimes I’m doing it by feel rather than by historical accuracy. For example, the Variflex Eric Grisham might have come out in […]

eBay Watch: May 2006

OK, let’s try something new this month. Instead of breaking it down by company, let’s break it down by era. It spices things up a little bit, and may also give some insight into whether really old stuff is worth more than newer stuff. Let’s start with the 60/70s. 60’s – 70’s Let’s start off […]

eBay Watch: April 2006

Here we are again, monthly, and on time! Thank your lucky stars! And it’s free! Talking of free, I think if you email us asking for advice on how much the deck you just found under the bed is worth, and we answer you and you make a boatload of cash, flow us some back. […]

eBay Watch: March 2006

Yup, that’s right. Baywatch is monthly again. At least, it’s monthly so long as I don’t get too busy/distracted/depressed. It probably doesn’t seem like it, but it’s a lot of work. Who am I kidding though, I love it! Let’s get on with March 06. Not a lot of big stuff went off in March. […]

eBay Watch: January-February 2006

Let’s call this the Jason Lee Blind "Aladdin Sane" month. You seldom see this deck: there hadn’ been a mint one in almost 2 years, and in this 60 day span three went off, all for over $2000. Weird. Rumor has it there was a 4th too, but I didn’ catch that one. So let’s […]
