The point I was trying to make is that Ebay has been around for alot less time than most ski shops. If it was not for ski shops, there would be no skis on ebay to sell or buy. So just watch out skipping the main reason you have the gear you have. The skis had to start by being intended for a ski shop. At least 95% of gear out there was first purchased by a ski shop to be sold to the public. Take that link out of the chain and there will be alot less gear around. Remember ski manufacturers do not produce skis to be sold on Ebay they make them to be sold in stores.

Let's see if you can follow the logic: -People do not buy gear from shops, instead buy from Ebay -Eventually shops will have to close -Less shops/supply and more demand, prices will have to go up -Or what can happen is -Ski companies go out of business -Then where do we get our gear from????? -Are we going to pass around used gear on Ebay for eternity???? Because at the rate we are going, we are going to make the ski industry extinct.... Or we will be using someone elses used gear because no manufacturer will be able to sell equipment at a profit and they will become non existent. Hmmmm--- We better learn how to make skis ourselves.
