60s, 70s, very early 80s. First up this in the 70s section this month is this Alva “Litebeam” from 1979. It is NOS, never gripped or mounted. Some folks raised some questions over the validity of this deck, but the seller claimed to have owned it since it was new because his family owned a […]
So welcome to the long overdue February 2013 edition of eBayWatch. Sorry it took so long to get out! I’m well over a month late I know, but a lot of stuff has been going down at HouseofNeil! Extra work projects, trips, and all kinds of stuff! And as it got later and later I […]
So welcome to the January 2013 edition of eBayWatch. This was one of those months that on first glance looked like a really bad one. But as the month went on and as I dug down to explore some of the “mid-price” decks I found some real beauties actually. And some unusual ones too! The […]
I just flew back from England (and boy are my arms tired!) where I spent Xmas with my family. I was amazed to see a skateboard store had popped up in Wallasey Village. Wallasey is across the river Mersey from Liverpool. It’s an old town (60,000 or so) that gets mentioned in book back to […]
So welcome to the November 2012 edition of eBayWatch. Thanks for all of your feedback after last month’s column. It appears that the new format is a hit, and is certainly far easier for me to produce every month, so here you go! It’s only December 9 and the November BayWatch is in the books! […]
So welcome to the October 2012 edition of eBayWatch. So after all of your feedback last month (thanks for that by the way!) I’ve decided to do a compromise. I’m keeping it monthly, and I’m also keeping a full selection of decks. However, I’m only doing detailed write-ups on some of them. The others will […]
So welcome to the September 2012 edition of eBayWatch. I’m sorry that it so late, but that brings up something I want to talk to you all about. The way Baywatch is put together right now is just too much work for me to complete on a timely basis. Something has to give, either fewer […]
So welcome to the August 2012 edition of eBayWatch. It was an exceptional month not just for prices, but also because some truly amazing decks went off. I don’t think that I can ever remember a month like this one! So sit down and strap in because I think you’re going to enjoy the ride! […]
Jack and I loaded up the van to go skate Jeff Ament’s private skate facility and other parks along the way.His bowl is10 years old so he threw it a party. Jeff is a real skateboard fanatic. Anywhere you look around the Ament compound, you will see skateboarding. The guest list was very impressive and […]
So welcome to eBayWatch, July 2012 edition. It was an average month really, nothing really stood out at all. Maybe most skaters are busy out there skating rather than collecting! But don’t worry, things are really picking up! August looks absolutely insane so far with no sign of slowing down. So enjoy this month but […]
