The weather did not cooperate so most skis just gathered dust! I had the choice of returning the skis to company or pass along the deal to others. <br /> <br /> Near end of this season, I posted a message offering skis to anyone who was going to be at the resort I was going to be for two weeks! Price was 40% below store cost price ! <br /> <br /> Two response on net! The first all negative,,some vulgar,,,,some "suggesting I was Nigerian skier,,etc,,,," Impossible prices for 2013 skis! Bull !!! <br /> <br /> The second type was more mature with initial questions on skis, on price and on me ! A meeting was set and 5 pair were sold two weeks later at base lodge! <br /> <br /> One skier missed initial message,,missed meetings but still wanted skis! <br /> <br /> We spoke on phone and a trust was created! He sent a cheque via snail mail and I send skis before getting cheque ! <br /> <br /> There are still honest skiers around! <br /> There are still great deals around ! <br /> You just have to be mature enough to know what trust looks like! <br /> What a nice feeling to trust another ! ( mind you not blind trust,,,,,,) <br /> <br /> So if you see a man on a 2013 powder ski smiling,,, happy as he soars on +30 cm. of powder, ask him,,,,,if he believes in human trust ! <br /> <br /> A true Pavel story! <br /> <br /> https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/12330/113313.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/12330/113313.page Tue, 13 Mar 2012 11:58:05 GMT
