Discrepancy in ski prices online

Hey all,

I found set of skis that I'm gonna purchase. All online shops have the same consistent price, whereas amazon is significantly cheaper. They are the 2019 models, so I'm a bit curious as to why amazon's (and the stores they contract with) are selling them for so cheap.

I just don't want to get stuck with a bunk model or something if I purchase through amazon. What am I missing?

Who is the seller? Actually fulfilled by Amazon? What ski exactly?

Sold and ships from ASO Gear in Canada,

Looks like a limited selection, so I'd rather not say, although my wife would probably love for me to.

From ASO gear it's probably just a good deal and a favorable exchange rate right now. They are a legit seller. Corbetts.com or check their ebay store asogear.com same shop.

Cool. Done!

2019 QST 99, 174, new condition for 419.00, from ASOgear (I double checked their website and they had the same price on this pair).

Wife (non skier) never wants to hear about skis again. But then I again, I am teaching my 4yo this year as part of my devious plans of getting more ski time in going forward

Teach her how to ski or board.

Also if you come across a deal on snowblades they might be worth buying, not critical teaching a four year old, more so when starting younger but I'm sure you'll put some hours in wedging down a bunnyhill with a small child between you legs or at your side.

The topsheets on your new skis are going to get shredded fyi.

I wonder if they've been skied or used as a display considering it was "new condition" not "brand new." No idea though, more just wondering

Who cares, just become a "bad" person and start stealing skis
