Vintage 1970s skateboard forum

Comes with a ropey set of OJ’s (maybe just very dusty)

My suspicions too, but I also wonder if a pre production sample? The seller listing as rare although doesn’t elaborate……
Has Adrian any thoughts on this deck ?

Yeah I thought so too, possibly a very early longer freestyle…..the missing link?

Not sure what to make of this ?

Definitely……not even worth a tenth

Yeah I do totally agree !
Maybe it could have a detrimental effect putting bidders off?
I suppose best offers and buy it now could be the way ahead for collectors….

I suppose everyone will bid with 1 minute and 2 seconds?

Yes I bought it as said I don’t think it was dear , I like the og condition of it , I’m going to take off the grip off the top , maybe tidy the edges a bit clean up the trucks and yo-yos and fit some better condition old bushings to the trucks , it’s first Benjyboard I’ve actually bought for a few ...

Another original

I’m pretty sure the originals were plastic too, see image of mine on my 42” speed, this I bought new back in the day !

when he first listed this benjy i posted about it being a joke price just to get folk watching before he altered it to a realistic amount,six months later i can safely say he was being serious! :roll: whats the point though? if it hasnt sold after 6 months then that should tell him something :lol ...

What’s the general consensus on bidding? I suppose deepest pockets win regardless !

If I’m really keen on something I put my highest bid in on Auctionsniper.com then if it’s for me I’ll get it

I usually find out it wasn’t for me 😂


Auctionsniper sounds very clinical, I’m old school, but ...

While chatting and perfecting our bidding techniques I’ve spotted yet another Humstopper advert……appears they had others for the UK collectors !

I always bid late, nothing worse than having held a top bid for along time to lose an item in the closing seconds…..so I imagine maybe these thoughts passed the Humstopper bidder too ?

Also a different advertisement from skateboard scene No7
