undoubtedly this can be looked at as an exception to posting other people's ebay sales. this one cracked me up though

Yeah, this isn't the first time those have been posted either. What a crazy asshole. I just sent the seller the following question:

"I have a question: Why are you asking for about 4 or 5 times what this ski is worth? You overestimated the original MSRP and old things tend to lose value, not gain it (unless of course they are rare or collectible, of which these are neither). Good luck selling them I guess, but try setting the price at $100 if you actually want to move them."

The sad thing is, someone will buy them either because of the brand or the 420...

I don't think so, he's been putting them up at that price for like a month now and noone has taken the bait.
