Hi guys, new here. Sweet christ....I thought recording equipment was expensive. Anyone check out that $3000 NOS Hosoi on egay lately?
NOS decks are pricey and rare these days. I had no idea as I've been living in a cave for the last 10 years. I should have held onto my unskated Schmitt Lopes (escher graphics) and Tarampula decks as well as a few others.
Anyway, this is a new obssession for me so I figured I'd sing up here and do some searching/learning for some of the decks I'm after. I'm no crazed hoarder, I just want to own some of decks I loved from way back when.
I'm 37 and just started to skate again but hate new boards so I'm skating some reissues. |

I guess I'll ask about any on-line stores that sell old NOS decks? I'm not into reissues except to skate them. I also did not see a classified section for selling, just trading or wanteds. I'm not a seller, just a buyer.
There is old school skates but that's all I know of but they have nothing I'm after. As usuall, I'm a buck short and a day late. |

step up your search efforts!
welcome, all the online stores that were around before 2004 have nothing left. Check ebay, check here (yes there is a for sale section)
switch your normal grocery list to Rahmen noodles and save save save.
If you have a wife, girlfriend, mortgage or rent payments stop now.

No shit. I tend to obssess about things. I was a bit of a deck hoarder when I was young in my teens and had no money. I already have a vintage motorcycle habit so I can't get crazy. But I hear what your saying. I've seen decks go for mental amounts and I'm not on that level of collecting and never will be. |

I know all about it. I was a music/recording junkie for years. Bands and recording cost tons of cash and I did eat Ichiban noodles for weeks just to buy a vocal mic. Now I hate playing in bands and recording and gave it all up. Sold all my gear and paid of debt, used as a down payment on a house ect. My girlfriend makes twice as much as i do so I'm ok there.
Any on-line suggestions? I've been googling shit for 2 weeks now.
I did manage to find a nice old Lance Mountain doughboy 1 deck for a really good price so I'm excited about that. I bought one to keep and one to skate. This all started from that purchase and blast of nostalgia. |

welcome to the forum..
finding those few decks will be fun.
hopefully you get out before it turns into "just one more deck" kind of a thing.
you have no idea what Im talking about yet,
hopefully you never do.
Nothing NOS online anymore to speak of, commons still available here
http://oldschoolskates.com/decks.aspx
other than that there is a "for sale" section + a search feature on the site that might help you locate some wood (once you learn how to properly use it) |

Yeah.....I think I'd rather spend $1000 on a new upstairs window than a deck. Blasphemy maybe but sometimes reality has to be priority. |
