Ebay Watch June/July 2014: The Lost Ebaywatch

I know, I know, you’ve all been waiting for a new BayWatch forever! Some patiently, and some not so patiently! I actually thought I’d stopped doing these completely. With the passing of my friend Frazer I stopped going on the collector sites, and little by little my interest in this whole world kind of went […]

Ebay Watch: April/May 2014

So, I’m sure some of you thought I’d stopped doing these! I know. It’s been a long time since you read a new Baywatch! There are two main reasons: There just hasn’t been that much good stuff for sale on eBay recently. There’s been a real slump to be honest. Same stuff, different month, and […]

Ebay Watch: March 2014

March came and went and was kinda blaaaah. Nothing exceptional went off, at least nothing that I was super excited about. Of course we had some good ones, but normally March is a crazy month because people either have to sell rare stuff off to pay taxes, or they have tons of excess cash from […]

Ebay Watch: February 2014

After a reasonably bland January, February was insane! There were lots of unusual items that came up in Feb. Some went for big bucks and some were actually vastly underpriced IMHO, which makes for some head scratching times. It’s tough to know what a deck will go for these days actually. But anyway, I digress. […]

eBay Watch: June 2013

60s, 70s, very early 80s. First up this in the 70s section this month is this amazing package, which consist of a mint Banazi aluminum complete, along with the original shipping box! It’s been in storage for 35 years, and looks as bright and shiny as they day it left the factory in 1977! The […]

Ebay Watch: May 2013

Nere it is, eBayWatch May 2013 60s, 70s, very early 80s. First up this in the 70s section this month is this Powell Peralta ‘Beamer’ team board from 1979. It comes complete with Trackers and Powell Bones Mini Cubics. It’s in very good used condition: the orange is still loud and vibrant and the pizza-grip […]

Ebay Watch: March / April 2013

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 […]

Ebay Watch: February 2013

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 […]

Ebay Watch: December 2012

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 […]

eBay Watch: November 2012

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! […]
