 Poster: A snowHead
|
A couple of weeks ago someone (ise?) posted with a URL to a discounting german retailer who seemed to have some pretty good deals on last and prior seasons skis.
Anyone recall who the retailer was or have other suggestions?
Many thanks,
DM

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

ise, had u not tried that model before u bought them? Or was it a case of similarly (but, critically, not identically) branded skis.
I noticed the case of the Salomon Crossmax LTD (see the eponymous thread) where Decathalon was selling them really cheaply but rather than them being 'very cheap crossmax skis' they were more like 'very cheap skis with the crossmax name on'.
Now why "LTD" should distinguish a model as being of lower quality I don't know. What could it stand for?
"Less Than Decent"?

I skied the 4* for a week and the 5* briefly, the ski handles just like I wanted it to, it's just too fragile, the base is just too thin to last all season. Hopefully by the end of season bash Precision will having their sale so I'll have to buy some more Atomics which will almost certainly be indestructible.
I have contacted Volkl actually and I'm waiting to hear what they have to say about it..

Cavaet Emptor I think U, I've always understood LTD to mean limited and I've usually taken that to be a warning, rather than a mark of exclusivity.

Atomic are doing a Bode Miller brand ski suposedly based on the GS11 but not available in the 11 lengths or with the same profile. It's a much cheaper SX9 with a new topsheet and 25% higher markup. NOT funny!
Mind you on eBay someone's just paid 280squid for 3 year old crossmax 8's, It's amazing what brand name and ignorance can achieve . . . hats off to the seller!

I've just brought a new pair of Salomon streetracer 10 + S912ti bindings(04/05) from there ebay site cost £250 with postage and the £10 bank charge that Natwest add for transferring money into there account, skis only cost £202.
So it might be worth checking out what they've got on there ebay auction.
