Hey Guys,

I've had one hell of a time selling a pair of ladies twin tips. I know some of it is that the weatehr's warming up, and it's tough to get folks to think about skiing when the season's over, but is there a better forum to sell skis in the DC area? I'd love to get rid of these!

Thanks,

Patrick

This is a bad time of year to sell skis. If you can, hold them until next fall when you will likely get a better price. You can join Epic Ski to gain exposure to a wider audience of pre-screened buyers. And consider lowering your price; last time I looked at one of your listings, my impression was that you were asking way too much for some old skinny skis. From now through next fall, brand new 2011 skis and bindings will be selling on clearance for 40-60% off. You need to offer a pretty compelling deal if your skis are used and 4 years old.

I sold my old skis and my son's old snowboard on craigslist.

Have you tried that?

I'd set your expectations low from a price stand point.

Skier219 is dead on with all the end of season sales.

Skis depreciate incredibly quickly when used and as their technology ages. Ski owners may not want to acknowledge that fact.

PT Barnum was right: there is a sucker born every minute. You may luck out and find the sucker. If not, you have to consider whether or not your price is realistic.

One of your example posts:



IMHO, if anyone paid more than $75 dollars for them, they were a fool. Maybe you found a fool. Skis are way too old, length is way too long, and ski profile is way too out of date (width and rocker) for the type of skiing it would match. Bindings are the most valuable thing on those skis, but they are nearly 10 year old bindings.
