New subreddit for trading/buying/selling skateboarding collectibles

Hey gang, I am just starting a subreddit for us that love to collect skateboarding gear. I am hoping to turn it into something like r/watchexchange that has been an excellent resource for the watch community to trade/buy/sell watches. The new subreddit is r/skateboardexchange. Please come join and let's try to make a great community for us to partake in our collecting.

Skateboard Exchange Subreddit

Does anyone here know if there is a skateboarding exchange subreddit like r/watchexchange where we can sell to each other at decent prices without incurring all the fees? I've got a big collection and would love to pass some on to other collectors at a decent price (basically the same I would net from an eBay sale after fees, etc.)

New skateboard mounts.

Purchased some new skateboard mounts on Amazon. I was hesitant at first but the deal was good. Hardware worked well and the boards went up nicely. The Killing Floor does a great job with their graphics, oh yeah the boards are great also….

Thrifted a Gordon & Smith Fibreflex, would love some info on it!

I'm early gen Z and while I longboard, I know very little about old boards. But my uncle showed me a "Supaflex" longboard which he loved so this caught my eye. For 5 bucks, I just grabbed it.

Do people still skate those? Or do they only collect them? (I rode it for a bit but it's tiny, skates well though!) The nose definitely suffered some damage, and a pad has chipped off. The trucks are ACS 580.

Did I strike vintage gold? I'm not looking to sell, but out of curiosity is it valuable on top of being neat?
