What a used skateboard is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for skateboards, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £120 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £102 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £78 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £54 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £30 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a skateboard
- Complete setups with trucks, wheels and bearings
- Decks with no delamination at the nose or tail
- Recognised deck and truck brands
- Bearings that spin freely
What lowers it
- Delaminated plies, especially at the tail
- Razor tail from heavy braking
- Seized or gritty bearings
- Cracked decks through the truck mounts
How to work out what yours is worth
- Check the nose and tail for lifting plies
- Spin each wheel and listen to the bearings
- Photograph the deck top and underside
Once you have those three answers you can place your own skateboard on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
Should I sell a skateboard complete or in parts?
Complete boards sell faster to beginners. Premium trucks and decks can raise more separately if you are willing to wait.
What is razor tail?
The tail worn down to a sharp edge from braking. It weakens the deck and means it is near the end of its life.
Do bearings matter?
They are cheap to replace, so gritty bearings lower the price only slightly. Mention them rather than hiding them.
