I am personaly tryin to find something from this year for next year but its just as hard yo find a place with there stuff left on the internet as much as finding a dealer near home.

AtomicSkier Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Just order it online, Don't see what the big deal is? Save yourself the hassle. The shipping will be less then the gas it takes to get down to Q-town and back for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justo8484 Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 if you know what you want, call qtown (215-529-0100) and ask if they will send it up to the whitehall store for you, thats about 20-30 minutes closer to you, on rt. 145 about 5 miles from the allentown turnpike exit.

Sno Mountain Skier Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 The reason i dont order it is because when ever i do somethin goes wrong. Plus my mom makes a business trip down to allentown every month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski999 bought a pair of brand spankin new Atomic SL:11's for around $200. What will $200 get you in a store? Maybe 1/4 of the price of Volkl 5stars? Ebay rocks.

skifreak Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Yeah, I mean I'm all for supporting the local shops and all but why would you not buy them online if they are cheaper? Of course, nobody at my house will order them for me so I wind up buying my stuff at the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online stuff is good for some bargains and you might even get some free socks along with a one of akind ski!! BTW I got boots for the grass skis for 99 cents ebay!! I guess I could have asked my shop and they might have given me a set of old rentals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are some good people in some of the shops (I take it you are a ski shop employee). I don't get the feeling though that most people in the shops really care about the sport, or care about anything for that matter. It takes a superior package to make me a customer. In this case, I can go online, deal with people who will deal with me professionally, and get high quality gear for cheap. I can get ANY brand, not just the 3 brands the shop has deals with. Now I don't know if these people care about the sport either but at least, I have had positive experiences with my online purchases, can't say the same thing about all my experiences in a ski shop. It's not just about the money, because I buy all my cds from an independent music store. It costs more than online, but its a great atmosphere shopping. I can listen to the cd before I buy, the people are very personable, and have a clue. As far as needing a quick fix, I do more and more of my own work as I go anyways. Assuming all the shops go out of business because of the mail order world, in the long run I would be better off buying another new piece of equipment, because it's cheaper for me to buy two brand new boards online than it is to buy one new board in a store and get it fixed (this thought is laughable, since the mail order shops are just real shops that got smart and started doing online business. Which btw why isn't your shop?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sno Mountain Skier Posted May 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I have actually changed my mind and am going to get stuff from oakley. i found a killer deal on a pant and jacket for only 190 for each. They both have 7000mm of waterprooofing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
