I look at the deals i can find on ebay for a BRAND NEW PAIR OF SKIS, NOT MOUNTED, NEVER USED, is this a joke or is it 100% reliable, i mean it really is cheap that i dont know if i should believe it or not. I dont want to get screwed.

it is usually reliable, sometime it can be not as described.

pay with paypal and then you have protection from paypal and ebay.

if you get fucked they should help.

ususally this isn't a problem.

It is usually fine. I had some skis shipped from germany and it all went well. Check out the seller's feedback.

Ebay is legit wit skis. If u pay wit paypal and something aint right u get a refund.
I didn't see fujis for $180 tho

I buy alot of stuff on ebay and I almost never buy any thing on ebay unless their's a picture or if it's brand new and the seller seems trust worthy. Also e-mail the seller and ask them a simple questions so you see if they know what their doing/talking about.

I’ve never had a problem with eBay, but I have had trouble with some of the pricks around here.

I buy and sell on eBay all of the time. It's great. You can get stuff pretty cheap and you can make some easy money. Just make sure that whoever you're buying from has good feedback. If they are new, and therefore don't have any feedback, email them to get some assurance.

Yeah its normally pretty good, make sure you have some detailed photos, I got some Skogans that said new in the description but when I got them they had been drilled (guess depends on your definition of new). Anyway it was dirt cheap and for a friend so no biggy...

I've bought three pairs of skis off ebay in the last two years and never had a problem. Just check the sellers feedback if your iffy on it.

ya i bought a pair of gold chronics of ebay for 200 and they were brand new still in the plastic. Its the place to go to get good deals and everyone I have ever bought from is really reliable and honest.
