Lost faith in the stock market and real estate? It could be the perfect time to capitalize on the misfortune of other old skate nerds by investing in... their old skateboards! House of Neil is up with his October eBay Watch and reports, "Buyers with a few hundred dollars in their pocket are suddenly able to afford decks that were totally out of their price range just 60 days ago. It’s a crazy time." Invest today!

I really like the Bill Danforth deck from Alva (above) that went for $345. A Neil Blender coffee break deck went for $1,030, the only deck to break $1,000 last month on eBay.
