just trying to get the word out...

I am following the rules, and just providing a service. In fact, I am an avid skiier, and am looking forward to posting more on the site. So, before criticizing me, please give me the benefit of the doubt. If you don't want anything I am selling, then go ahead and move on.

caveat emptor and general FYI: there is a huge "fakes" market for ski gear that has emmerged. buying ski clothing from a seller that does not have a reputation as a legitiment seller may be dangerous. not that i am accusing mgbolp of anything, but folks shouls be aware of that when purchasing ski clothing gear in general any ways... but especially from a non-established seller with no references or reputation. one also has to wonder how someone comes accross this much specific and similar merchandise in various sizes.

wow

I never thought i would run into so much resistance... ok, I totally understand that there are a ton a fakes out there... and, yes; people should be careful when they are buying gear. Not that it changes much, but I am a legitimate seller. my ebay ID is zeroforhire.. if you want to look that up you will see 103 feedback... all positive. (now I know, you could just say that I picked an ID off of ebay, and am saying it is mine)... but i do not know how else to convince all of you that this is real, and legitimate. As to how I got all this gear, if you would read the post; you would see that I bought it at an REI sale. Yesterday they had their huge half off clearance sale... I was the first one in the store, and snatched up everything I could. I am currently going to school in Seattle, so I scored all of this at their flagship store. If it would help anyone, then I am willing to give people my phone number so they can talk to be directly about any of the merchandise I am offering. Any other questions?

selling on ebay, what a novel idea! so you bought up stuff at a close out sale to resell it to other people? that's about as bad as scalping tickets for higher than face value. just my opinion...

what?

higher than face value? What are you talking about? I am still selling the gear at way lower prices than anywhere else. It is regular business practice... do you get mad at REI for selling you gear at more expensive prices than they paid to get it? Probably not. That would be stupid. I am offering a service here... allowing people to get a good deal on new, high-quality gear. Remember, you didn't camp out at REI, and put in all the time and effort into getting the gear at such a great price... I did. If you aren't interested in the gear, that is fine. If you want to argue about business practices, maybe you should get your facts straight... the gear I am selling is still priced lower than most other retailers.

higher than you paid for = higher than face value (i.e. the price on the tag when you bought the gear). thanks for confirming my suspicions. since this is a "regular business practice," i can only assume you are paying taxes and including your sales as part of your taxes? cause that is what regular retailers do, i kinda work for one so i know the difference between someone trying to make a quic buck by depriving other customers of the regular sale value and then reselling them higher than you paid for the gear and running a business. that is the same as ticket scalping, i think it is a terrible practice. i have no issue with folks selling their own gear, but scopping up gear at a clearance sale just to jack the price up for the poor sobs who didn't "camp out overnight"? it isn't illegal (that is, unless you don't report it as income to the IRS), but it certainly is immoral, imho.

so what you are saying is...

you don't like anyone who sells on ebay? As far is "immorral" is concerned, obviously I would dissagree with you there... there is nothing immoral about it. Yes, I am trying to make money to pay off tuition. Isn't every business trying to make a profit? This is nothing different. Now since you make the point that through my actions, I deprived others the opportunity of getting a great product at a great price; well too bad. There was nothing immoral or illegal about this. It isn't like I bought more than was allowed, or physically abused poeple en route to the arcteryx rack. I put the effort into getting there first, and benefited from it. Yes, I do pay taxes on my profits, so there is nothing illegal going on here. I am really interested in why you are so upset about this. I mean, it isn't like I am selling drugs, pimping prostitutes, or any other number of horrible things... I am selling off a few items at a good price. How I got them really doesn't matter since they were acquired legally, and are not fakes. The bottom line is that I am willing to sell stuff at a great price. If someone were in that market for these items, then they could buy them from me and save a few bucks. This isn't like ticket scalping, where the event only happens once in a lifetime. Sales come around all the time. You said that you are involved with a business... what business is that? Just curious.

i sell on ebay and never said anything bad about ebay, just suggesting that might be a good place for you to sell your stuff, that is all. glad to hear you pay taxes on your profits. your dodge that it is not like scalping tickets is rediculous. ticket scalpers have connections or "get there early" and but up huge lots of tickets and then resell them at a profit, that is exactly what you are doing. for all your defense, i am surprised you don't see the correlation. my business is none of your concern, i work in retail management and that is plenty of information for you to know. what ever, i am done bumping your topic, have fun.
