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! whats the point though? if it hasnt sold after 6 months then that should tell him something i reckon he could get £250+ even with the plastic badge,whats your values on it?
What’s your thoughts on the price this made, none of the individual components were in great or even that good a condition but if you break it down it’s probably about right
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 years

Well another one saved, you’ve got a little work on your hands but hopefully you’ll end up with an honest well loved example!
Here it is , pleased with it , peeled the grip off with hot hair dryer , half an hour of a job pleased to see the OG finish underneath so grips been on since new , I'll tidy it a bit but I like it with the yellowed yoyos sort of suit it
Last 2 pics with grip tape still on as I got it

it certainly loks a lot nicer minus the grip,the power pivots had its moneys worth i wonder how many of those were sold over the yrs,virtually everyone i knew had one back then
Yeh it's certainly had its share of tail skids in its time , it's a testament to how well these comp 2s were made and how tough they were as it's still in good shape and with the laminate construction even though it's quite a thin board they hold up well
whats the point though? if it hasnt sold after 6 months then that should tell him something
i reckon he could get £250+ even with the plastic badge,whats your values on it?
