eBay Watch: December 2002

December was a very funny month. It was a very quiet month on the whole, especially until one new seller put up 5 items, all of them rare, and that sparked a bidding frenzy amongst collectors. All of the items of note were either Powell decks or Santa Cruz decks with just 4 exceptions. Powell-Peralta […]

eBay Watch: November 2002

Some good stuff this month, but prices seem to be tumbling a little. There were some bargains to be had. It was a slow month overall. Dogtown/Z-Flex/Bulldog First up is this pre production Dogtown, with the graphics hand drawn by Wes Humpston. It went for $800, which although decent, still seems like a bargain to […]

eBay Watch: October 2002

Check it out. Some classic Dogtowns went off in October, and one historical piece didn’t go off because it didn’t meet the high reserve. First up we have a used Bigfoot that must have belonged to a crusty Brit punk lover. Dig the GBH and Exploited stickers! The skid plate looks wooden and homemade. $975. […]

eBay Watch: September 2002

Nothing too spectacular to report in September. A solid month where prices stayed about where they should be. Let’s take a look. Alva First up this month we have two Alvas that are pretty much identical. Both are pigs and feature the classic die-cut griptape on top. The first fetched $430, the second $336. They […]

eBayWatch Special Report: The $6000 Tony Hawk

eBayWatch Special Report: The $6000 Tony Hawk April 29th, 2002. A regular day for most people, but for skateboard collectors everywhere, it was a historic day. It was the day that the eBay member smo_king would use the Buy-It-Now option to spend $6000 on a mint first edition Tony Hawk deck. It shattered the old […]

eBay Watch: August 2002

There were some absolutely unreal historical skate artifacts up this month, but a lot of them didn’t meet their reserve price, so no deal. It seems to me that a lot of the long-time collectors are satisfied with their collections and aren’t buying much anymore. The new collectors just don’t seem to have the cash […]

eBay Watch: July 2002

Let’s start it. Alva / Dogtown / Z-Flex I’m lumping these together again, because there wasn’t much action on the “classics” front. First up we have this Dogtown Wes Humpston complete. It’s in sweet condition: I love the neon green conicals! It went for $710, which seems like a real bargain. Next we have this […]

eBay Watch: June 2002

We have a lot of Dogtown stuff this month. The movie probably made a lot of guys go in their garages and dig out their old decks. On attempting to ride them they discovered time hasn’t been kind, so they decided to sell them instead. Oh well. Get them out of the garages and onto […]

eBay Watch: May 2002

Getting right to it… Alva/Dogtown/Z-Flex This month I’m lumping these 3 together because there wasn’t a lot of action for these classics. First up this month is this late 70s Alva pig complete. It went for a reasonable $561. Judging by the griptape, it’s in very good shape. That’s it for the Alvas. Let’s look […]
