wuestinator, you just don't know what you're talking about man, you get them cost, I can get them cost -25%, maybe even a sponsorship this year. I got these skis direct from rossi and they are too short for me. I want 182. these skis will be going for more then 600+ tax in stores. any shop in the montreal area is selling the old BC's for alot more. I am just giving the people of montreal an option of paying cheaper, that's all. I found a guy for 525. He'll be happy when he sees how much 2005 BC's will go for in about 1 month. but I guess you would still bitch that he gor screwed. just tell that to the rest of the freeskiers who buy there skis from the shop at an even bigger profit % and get «screwed». I mean I'm lucky enough to get those connections, but I used to pay my equipement full price, and sadly, that's the price I had to pay to be able to ski. personally, I just think I made one guy's wallet happy. if you're gonna bitch, take it elsewhere.
