i can definitely see what people mean when they say he's kinda sketchy. i was buying some skis new punx from him for $250, and there was someone else who was interested. the other guy sent the money first but it wasnt going through completely so he refunded him and sold me the skis. i know i woulda been a little annoyed if that happened to me so thats that. he took longer than i wouldve liked to ship them (paid monday morning, shipped friday) but i got them and the wait really wasnt too long. the skis came in their wrapping and had rusty spots along all the edges which scratched off with some tin foil. could've been his storage or the shipping company. i think since i know what to expect with this guy i'd purchase something from him again, but looking at the other reviews it almost seems like its a hit or miss kinda thing.
