GVK #100: Burnside Halloween 2015 – 25 Years!

Went down to the old B-side Banks for the 25th anniversary during a true Portland deluge. Water had blown a man hole cover off raw sewage was boiling out of the ground. This did not slow anyone down under the dirty old bridge. This raw sewage seemed to fuel the session. I filmed a little […]

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: December 2013

December was disappointing this month. It used to be that you would get some bank-breaker decks going off in December, as wives and girlfriends found the perfect xmas gift for their skate obsessed partners! They wouldn’t mind if it was overpriced because they don’t know and better and it’s simply crossing a gift off the […]

Ebay Watch: August-October 2013

So here we have it, the three-month compendium that gets me up to date! I know I know. You wanted three separate ones. But this is the best I could do! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed though, because this was an incredible three-month span. A span which saw the 6-year old high-price record smashed, […]

Ebay Watch: January 2013

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 […]

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: June 2012

So welcome to eBayWatch, June 2012 edition. There seemed to be a ton of great 80s decks but I really had to struggle to fins ten 70s and 90s decks. And don’t even ask about the miscellaneous section because it’s pretty thin this month. But the 80s section is packed, so enjoy that one. My […]

eBay Watch: May 2012

So welcome to eBayWatch, May 2012 edition. And it was another great month, especially in the 90s section, due to a famous skate artist selling off some of his own collection! There’s some insane stuff that went off, but the 70s and 80s had their fair share of big hits and cool looking unusual ones […]

eBay Watch: January 2012

Welcome to eBayWatch, January 2012 edition. Well, if you cast your mind back to December, I was worried that January was looking pretty lame after the crazed auctions hat led up to Xmas, but I needn’t have worried. January still had plenty of fun decks that went off, some at high prices, some at reasonable […]
