I'm sure many of you saw this last week. A 57-year old employee at the factory in Austria was tasked with destroying blem skis. Instead he took them home and resold them. 300 pairs of them over an extended period of time. He was selling them for as little as 50 Euros each pair.

LOL that is definitely stealing

why didn't Atomic sell them as blems... Seems like they could easily do that online at any number of places...

1900 pairs. He had 300 in inventory when busted. I wonder if he was selling wholesale or eBay/Facebook type retail.

Destroy? Oh, I thought you said dispose!

Good catch. Insane. I think he had a retail and wholesale operation from what I read.
