I would say no, you can see about buying the trucks and wheels from him for about 30 and go to a local skate shop and get a blank deck for about 40 bucks tops. The board itself looks trashed. I really don't wanna see the grip and if it has any chips on the tail or nose.

Ask him for 40-45 for it. If he says no just say you got 50 dollars and that's what you can do.

I wouldn't get it. The board looks a bit old, wood could be warped or a little water logged. Grip tape doesn't look too hot either, but I agree with Wife. Try and get him down to 40 then I can see it being worth it but I'd pass for 60

I'd say the last one for sure. Looks like it wasn't used too much and isn't very old, the top link is in better condition but I'm not a fan of the shape, could be difficult to switch to a traditional style board after it. Also for $25 you can't beat it

Also for $25 you can't beat iti like the look of the shape but when skating i guess look doesn't matter too much. but as I'm not switching from any board and I'm just starting it may be alright.

and I'm so sorry but here is one more as I'm not sure if id be able to get a ride there this is a lot closer.
if i can't get a ride there or can't get them to meet halfway or something would this one be any good?

I'd go with the second one because those Destructos alone are worth about $20. As for everything else, the deck and wheels look fine, and you'd need a better picture to see if the bearings are in good condition/usable.
But for $25 in total, it's not that bad unless the bearings are worthless. Then you'll need another few bucks for new ones.
