Ugly colorway

That's a rare one, no? A bonite deck, shaped, without the XT top logo.

im curious to know how u guys feel when u drop over 100 bucks for a board u want for ur collection im about to make a deal with the devil today

WakeInFright

Each consequent purchase is easier Biebs!

brigade_bill

well im very frugal with my money and i dont like to spend it unless it is necessary im telling myself it is just like how i once in awhile drop about 100 bucks on a laptop and im just trying to stay positive about it but man is it hard

ghostbuster

I tell myself I'll get at least what I paid if I have to unload it, and try not to buy unless that's obviously the case, though it is easy to be over-optimistic.

brigade_bill

well i did it and made a deal with the devil not proud of myself in the least bit i dropped 275 on 2 boards plus 57 for shipping cause they were in canada

WakeInFright

Cool. What did you buy?

pulse8

I just paid 375 au for an OG. Some things just cost what they cost.

When I drop more than $100 on a deck, I prefer to go all out and drop $27,700. Cause a brand new car isn't really worth that kind of dough.

WakeInFright

What did you just buy @pulse8 ?

WakeInFright

I am sick of that dude buying wheels of oldschoolskates.com and then trying to flog them off on eBay in Australia for $15-20 more per wheel.

Chris

oldschoolskates had a really solid assortment of OG decks back in the very early 2000s. Same with the China PP site.

It hit me the other day when I was looking at OG bug decks and Hieroglyphics decks. Back sometime between 99 and 02 or so, you could find both of those decks for well under $100. I remember vividly debating buying a Hieroglyphics but decided against it, figuring they would be easy to get once I had some extra cash. Now they are hundreds of dollars and I was thinking it was strange that they would jump so much in price. Then I did the math. More time passed between when I saw them on eBay and now, than passed between it's original release and the time I saw them on eBay. The deck was only like 10 years old back then, but that was almost 20 years ago. So I guess it actually makes sense that they have gone up. I wish I had the cash to buy all those decks I wanted back then.

WakeInFright

Fair point, but the wheels Richard Cranium is trying to flog off for $110 for a set can still be purchased for around $32 + shipping costs! He’s just relying on buyer laziness and ignorance!
