wavechaser Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 This is nuts - I had a nearly new set of 02/03 race plates for sale a couple weeks ago and was getting offers for $125 -they finally sold for $144 plus $8 shipping, after not getting ANY bids on ebay. Then I see this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=013&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=230079490223&rd=1&rd=1 These are USED 1998 Race Plates at $196.50 plus $15 shipping with 5+ hours still to go...eBay is just nuts sometimes!! Someboady is gonna get the shaft here - considering you can buy the Ibex brand new for $179!! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wavechaser Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 No...that came up somewhere else on BOL recently too...Burton never made Ti plates...I used to have a pair of these...just a good old-fashioned bidding war by uninformed buyers!!

Civ Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 i have an identical pair that I just replaced with Cateks, hmm...maybe its time to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derf Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Wow, at 209,50$ now! I think the bidders think the bindings have a gold plated titanium base instead of gold/titanium color base (and they did not ask questions before bidding, unless the seller is uninformed).

wavechaser Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 i have an identical pair that I just replaced with Cateks, hmm...maybe its time to sell. Would you REALLY feel comfortable about listing them as "titanium" like this seller did though?? Still - wish I had some so I could ride the wave!!

Yard Sale Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 The high bidder is going to be pissed when he realizes the bindings don't work with his soft boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavechaser Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 The seller had them listed as "titanium" - I informed him of the mistake but he didn't change the listing...out and out deception...buyer probably thinks they got a deal.
