hey ... hi, it's been a while since i've started a thread here, and for that, i apologize, but you know how it is ... nobody missed me anyway. right? am i right? of course. yah, sounds like this is more of a - down and out thread - anyway, it is.
until the other day, when i pull all this old shit out of the garage and decide to sell it:

now, this isn't a crit thread so don't even bother praising me on my lame design ... but i know there are probably some peoeple here - my age - who remeber the (my) glory days of skating, and might apreciate this stuff.

you'd get a fuckload more than that on ebay - esp for teh mountain abd hawk bird claw - both of which I have seen go above $1,000
Nice collection
- jevad0
$150 for those tshirts is taking the piss though
- Gorbie0
fucking a...
those things go for that much?
i have the old skull & dagger powell board... what's that go for nowadays????
i also have the McGill with the skull & snake, and a tony hawk with the eagle skull.
that's crazy money.

Gorbie
sell me both of those!!
are they in good nick?
- Gorbie0
jevad... i actually used these boards so they don't look like the decks featured above. they've been in storage for years though.
the skull & sword looks like this except in white...
the mcgill looks exactly like this...

i also have a Per Welinder that's like this except in red...

yah, gorbie, if those are in good condition, it seems there is money in the 80's that we long to remebember or forget -whatever.

I broke my front tooth while using one of those badboys about 15 years ago. I have no idea what brand it was, all I remember was that it said Rad Rat on the bottom and had a picture of this crazy looking rat riding a skateboard eating a block of cheese (wtf?)
I still have to get my tooth capped from that incident.

theres this website, called ebay.
sells that kinda rare shit i heard.
nice collection.
- chocodog0
haha ... i got stiches in the top of my head! ... broke my teeth on a mailbox when i was 6 yrs old though.
sucker for punishment ... i think i'm really getting the urge to skate again ... or urge for something.

a couple of mine are "completes" i guess. they still have the independent trucks and OJ II wheels...
yeah... you got a serious collection going choco. don't mean to derail yer thread either.
- chocodog0
ahh ... jevad just read your first posts again ... those prices are not dollars. Estonian kroons. just wanted to unload them here so i could get the hell out of here ... funny though, noone her is even inetereseted in these decks.
i didn't even photograph one of them - a Steve Saiz "indian" which is on the wall because of it's graphics.

I'll buy this one!
- chocodog0
around 15.6 euros ... or 12.oo stinkin us dollars
- chocodog0
mrdobolina, really how much? ... like i said those prices are only eek (eesti kroon).
the auction is open :)
- jevad0
I'll take the gator and this one:
- 2cent0
so 1 Kroon = 12 USD??... that doesn't make sense.
how bout you list it as USD instead of Kroon as the prople who will buy this stuff will understand better... as i'm interested but have no idea what you want for it.
- chocodog0
ok, ok ... send me an email if you guys are serious.
wasn't expectiing this, but i shouldn't be surprised with NewsToday®!
- chocodog0
uhh ... sorry 2cent, i'm drunk again ... it's the other way around.
12 kroons = 1 us stinking dollar
- 2cent0
gotcha... thanks for clearing that up choco.
