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

I see the Humstopper sold …….
But also found these on a facebook group

That’s rough Unfortunately everyone who has an old board thinks it’s valuable or maybe extremely hopeful !!

Never heard of one either, could Humstopper be German?

Could be quite an interesting proposition, set up with 580’s as 650’s seems over kill and definitely too wide!
Will the Tunnel stock ever run dry ??

Does seem steep.,..,.maybe they just want an example of a complete they once owned and are not fussed over originality!

Just noticed previously seen
