Pricing hand-painted skateboards is tricky — go too low and you lose money, go too high and you lose buyers. But where you sell matters just as much as what you paint. A deck that sells for $50 locally might go for $120+ on Etsy if positioned right.

📍 Local Sales (Facebook, Flea Markets, Pop-Ups)

• 🎯 Target Price: $40–$70 per deck
• ✔️ Low shipping cost (or none)
• ✔️ Buyers see the quality in person
• ❌ Expect to negotiate — and bring change

Pro Tip: If you’re selling locally, offer bundle deals like “2 for $120” or “Buy 1, get 1 25% off.” It boosts your AOV and clears inventory faster.

🛒 Etsy or Online Marketplaces

• 🎯 Target Price: $80–$150+ depending on design and niche
• ✔️ National/international audience = higher demand
• ✔️ Etsy buyers expect to pay for art and shipping
• ❌ Must account for platform fees (usually 6.5%+)

On Etsy, price your deck based on how unique it is and who it’s for. A generic street art deck might go for $85, while a niche-specific design (like anime or horror) can push $120–150+.

📦 Don’t Forget Shipping

Charge for it or bake it into your price — just make sure you’re not losing margin. Most decks ship for $12–$18 via USPS or UPS in the U.S. Use flat boxes or recycled skateboard packaging to keep costs low.
