Used skateboards in Leeds typically sell for £20 to £120 (about $27 to $160). Skateboards sell as complete setups or as parts, and the value sits in the trucks and bearings as much as the deck — so name every component.
Selling a skateboard in Leeds
Leeds is the financial and legal centre of the north with two large universities packed close to the centre, and it has one of the strongest vintage clothing scenes in the country. Kirkgate Market has been trading since the nineteenth century, so buying used here is entirely unremarkable rather than a lifestyle position.
The student districts empty and refill every summer, and because they are so concentrated the turnover is visible: whole streets change hands in a fortnight. That is when desks, bookshelves and bikes come onto the market in volume.
The centre is small enough to cross on foot in twenty minutes and the station sits in the middle of it, which makes meeting up straightforward. The dense student districts north of the centre are close enough together that collecting furniture from one is a short trip rather than an afternoon.
Leeds, in England, has around 800,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. London, Birmingham and Sheffield are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Leeds
Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work. Around Headingley, Hyde Park and Chapel Allerton are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

Put in the description

Deck size and components: “Element 8.0in Complete Skateboard, Independent Trucks, Bones Bearings”. Deck width in inches is the primary filter. Naming the trucks and bearings raises the price because those are the expensive parts.
