FS: K2 PBR Brewski - New

**ski3 P O** · 10-23-2010, 10:22 AM

Guy I work with won these at a casino night at a local shop and he doesn't ski. He is thinking about learning how, but these are not the type of ski's for a beginner in the mid-atlantic. I told him I'd list them for him. They are new, but not in the wrapper. 183 length, but you would have to look up the rest of the specs online. Don't claim to know a ton about these, but you can pm me and I'll get the tip, waist and tail measurements from him. He has a paypal account and shipping would be from Virginia. I told him I thought a fair price was $475 (plus shipping) since they are new.

If these fine collectors items get parted out I call dibs on the rivettz.

You really should consider raising the price to 600 since they are so highly sought after.

Your location is so apt

Finally...

**bushman** · 10-23-2010, 10:49 AM

Is that 475 American?

**weasel1** · 10-23-2010, 10:53 AM

BACON!

...and the popcorn is popping.

**RootSkier** · 10-23-2010, 10:55 AM

I know some underaged hookers in the midatlantic, maybe we can work out a trade?

I offer two pieces of high end bacon and a handjob from the albino hermaphrodite midget I keep tied to my water heater in the basement. You pay return shipping on the little guy.

You've been here almost 3 years and post a thread like this?
When will it end?!

**ex-powderbroker** · 10-23-2010, 11:17 AM

Does your friend take FutureBucks?

**mtskier** · 10-23-2010, 11:29 AM

i'll trade you for 2 cases of PBR. your buddy will have more fun with the beer than he will with the skis.

that's the best offer you're gonna get. i promise.

**1000-oaks** · 10-23-2010, 01:17 PM

I'll take half of one. (Half of one ski, not half of the page.)

**luckyheel** · 10-23-2010, 01:24 PM

Everyone...

I'm the guy that ski3 is posting for. I've read some of the previous posts on this site to sell these type of skis and I was hoping that this offer/post wouldn't suffer the same fate as those in the past.

I truly did win these in a raffle at a casino night sponsored by a local ski shop in VA. I do not work for the ski shop, nor am I affiliated in any way with someone who does. I simply do not ski and given the amount of money it would take to get these skis up an running and the other equipment involved, it just is not worth it for me to keep them.

I'm just looking to get a fair, reasonable price for something that is in limited quantities and that I won't use.

If you're not interested, that's fine, obviously I understand. But, if you, or someone you know, would be interested, please let me, or ski3 know.

Thanks

PSA: Sorry, but almost without exception, these follow a similar pattern:

1. Seller has a low post count.

2. Seller wants a premium price for an item received from a raffle(free).

AFAIK, there has been a dozen of these skis put up for sale here in Gear Swap, none has ever been purchased/sold here.

Probably a face-to-face transaction would be best/CL/eghey.
Good luck, you're trying to sell to a skeptical/wary bunch here...

**ski3 P O** · 10-23-2010, 04:40 PM

Don't worry guys, I know how it is, I can take it. Can say some of the posts made me smile, just puttin them out there before they go to ebay or craigs. It's all good.

**squirrelmurphy** · 10-23-2010, 06:02 PM

What the fuck is the problem with someone trying to get a fair price on a brand new pair of skis? You shouldn't have to give shit away for free just because you won it.

Tradition?

Happens every year, like Christmas or a thread about tall Ts.

It's a windfall. Nobody's obligated to pay full price for a windfall.

Also, they're not a collector's item. See above about every year.

**DEVO** · 10-23-2010, 08:07 PM

I'll take 'em....

... will you take a third party, post dated check?

**arewolfe** · 10-23-2010, 08:30 PM

^^^ win

It's fucking TGR, not eBay. You don't show up with 1 post and ask $475+ for a pair of skis worth $300 with unknown dimensions.

So you set the price the same as all the others and crossed your fingers?

agreed.

however, only 2 of those 3 details are true in this case. Hint: it's not the price being fair.
