    skateboard grind rails



    I seen a bunch of them on CL for about $50... seems way too high to me, but i know you would have no problem flipping one for $20

    anything cookier than a straight flat rail will probably be worth more:
    rails with kinks in them, curved rails, uprails (one end higher than the other)

    lower profile stands are also worth more than stands that are bulkier and cannot easily be rode over

    generally steel works best as aluminum doesnt slide well

    also things like metal boxes, benches and other stuff can be sold as grind boxes


    In fact you could easily make your own and sell em.

    I did the bike thing for about 10 years, had a lot of fun and actually never broke anything. Spent a lot of money on bikes and parts though. They are worth reselling especially if you have any towns or companies that have and or support bike/skate parks around.
