Poster: A snowHead
|
Following on a little from the "Ebay Madness" thread where people seemed to pay a lot of money for poor-ish skis, have a look at these skis.
I've just bought a new pair of planks this year, but if I hadn't I'd be very tempted. This years ski, top class bindings and unused.
By the way, I have no connection to the skis or the seller, but if you get them for around £200 they're a gift.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Wonder what reserve has been put on them though - they're not going to go for £200.

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

Well . . . they're asking 499.99 on their site. It'll be interesting how close to this price the final sale will be . . .

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Mmmm. I thought when they put a high-ish opening price in like £200 that they were looking at that as a minimum acceptable bid. Obviously not.
GrahamN, in the end I was torn between a pair of last years Dynastar 74's which looked really nice in the shop, but I couldn't get to try them out, and (suprisingly for me) a pair of B2's which I did get to try, albeit at Castleford snow dome. I also tried quite a few other pairs of ski's and liked the Rossi's the best.
If I'd been buying off website and magazine reviews as I have in the past, then I don't think I'd have touched them. Just goes to show - you must try before you buy.

marc gledhill, as some others have said the B2s are clearly a love 'em or hate 'em ski. As they would appear to be one of the best selling skis there is, a fair few must love 'em. Loved my Bandit XXs, but they were a bit heavy (IIRC the B2 is about 20% lighter).

How much do you think you should pay for them?

In the shops, about £430/£450 I'd say.
Or £550 in Snow & Rock

Well, I think that package on sale in La Tania at New Year was about Eur 720 (about £523), and is here for Eur 649 (about £470) - although Google's just turned up someone in Grenoble selling it for Eur 585 (£425), and another one in France for the same price. Seems to be pretty rare in the UK this year though.
