Buying in Bulk?

Question

My brother skateboards, and my dad is an artist. We usually pick up blank decks from the local skate shop, and my dad paints them, but they usually run about $30 a pop. On Ebay, you can buy 10 blank decks for about $110.

So, has anyone bought any of these decks in bulk of Ebay, and are they any good?

Answer 1

Those decks are usually c**p.  Thy are cheap Chinese wood with a very spongy feel and will crack the same day you start riding.  If they are going to be used as art pieces and not ridden they will be fine.
