Does anyone have any experience of buying skis form these guys?
http://www.skibarn.co.uk/
I've sent a few messages and had no contact. Also tried to call but the landline number doesn't work and the mobile umber isn't answered (also has an overseas ring tone).
Seem a bit dodge but be interested to hear if anyone has had any success with them.
thanks.

@Page23, I used them a long time ago, and purchased 2 pairs from them via ebay.
Skis were very little used, but they were slightly obscure ski models.
The tuning/ servicing however was interesting, both pairs seemed to have been passed over a sander and so with no base edge angle at all, they were unskiable, so I had to put a base edge on them, which was fine for me, as I do all my own tuning, but maybe would not be for others.

Probably a bit late on this, but I bought my brother some skis for Christmas via Ski Barn (off eBay) and they were all good - I didn't pay very much, so it was worth a go and I went for it based it on eBay reviews really.
Obviously used skis, but serviced fine etc. I noted they seemed to have a few locations; these ones came from Poland once the shipping/tracking details were sent over. But other eBay items seem to be listed as in Austria with the caveat that "Our items are stock in different warehouses in Europe." Possibly why we have had a different servicing experience than Zorrac did.
Anyway, he skied them for 6 days at the start of the month with no issues and they will get another run out in a few weeks.

I bought a pair from them 3 years ago with the intention of saving one years hire.
I think they were 2014 model, so 3yrs old and I paid £70. They were well enough serviced and OK.
In fact they are still going strong and got a fresh service in Alleghe on the PreBB and I'm thinking they'll be alright for another year as well now!!
