eBay Vintage Skateboard Gouging

For all of those who are seeing fit to list vintage skateboard items on eBay at ludicrious
prices, "But It Now, or Best Offer," please stop.  No collector or skateboard aficionado ever
will purchase your trumped up product.  You only are debasing the real art of skateboard collecting.
There is a small group who are imprudent enough to think that listing vintage skateboard gear
somehow will see fit to ascribe a value to it that simply is insane.  Please stop.  You only are harming
the once fun and diversionary sport of collecting memorabilia that somehow connects you with
a nostalgic and pleasing past.  Not any more.  If I see another board, set of trucks or wheels, or
anything listed at a ridiculous price it just makes me want to find you and.... well you know.  It's the same
with music.  What once was a reputable, artistic, and respected art form now has been debased to
nothing.  Drive integrity into the ground.  Yes, satan all ready is here once again on earth, and we just
are waiting for God to make His second appearance.  Anytime.  I have had my fill of the bullshit.  Once
collecting, assembling, and photographing vintage skateboards was fun.  Now it is a mockery.  Please
you assholes, take your trumped up shit off eBay and take a powder.  We know the value, and it is NOT
what you decide.  Your auctions are a joke, so please stop humiliating yourselves.  I have seen the same set
of non-vintage, fake, not valuable trucks for going on two years.  Please take them off eBay and rather
try sticking up your @#$%.  They would find your self ascribed value there.  Thank you.  Sincerely, Jay
Adams, Tony Alva, Stacy Peralta, Lance Mountain, Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Tommy Guerro, and Moi.
Jesus, please save us from this insult.
