eBay of course. I have a lifetime supply of new boots :fmicon: and rotate to new ones every 2-3 years so the old ones are still very good and I always have two pair in service. The liner less Yak boots are the best and they fit perfectly. The right boots are getting some strong pricing these days. A buddy of mine paid almost $200 for a new pair last year. I'm going to try a pair of the Kwicker boots.Quote:

It doesn't make them good or worth while to ride nowadays.
Maybe if you learned how to strap in while riding you wouldn't need the most idiotic system on the market.
How many days have you ridden on Clicker bindings? I'm guessing....none? Why would K2 re-introduce the bindings if they were so bad?Quote:

And if you've really ridden only clickers for the last 20 years you have no idea what you are talking about. How about getting on some real bindings and getting back to us?
You mean performance for tattooed jib freaks like yourself:Quote:

I've ridden strap bindings. I like the solid feel of stepins.

Lets get back to how stupid eBay has become alright?
It could have been a good thread. Jacked.
You're the one that cunted it. You wouldn't ride stepins because they aren't cool for hipster freaks like yourself.Quote:

We get it, you like bad bindings and will go to great lengths to prove it. Awesome. Tell us more about cool or bad eBay deals!
I like Ebay, I don't have an opinion on klicker bindings.
I use ebay all the time for buying and selling bike parts.
Yaks were my favorite too, fit perfectly, no heel slip whatsoever and they lasted a long time. I couldn't find them on eBay last time I looked but ended up with another pair that works pretty well, little tight in the toes. With the right boot, the system rocks, especially if you ski and snowboard. Going from skis to strap bindings lasted me one year before I dug out the clickers and picked myself up some new boots on eBay.Quote:

Hey Sadvres Lameface McSystemblows, ease up on the righteousness brother. Doesn't suit anyone well, especially not some skinny punk who spends his time twiddling a mouse all day:rolleyes2

NO!....
come on, having a little fun here
eBay is not perfect. However I have had plenty of luck getting solid ski gear and numerous other things off of there. Just this week a "new to me" pair of 2012 Volkl Bridges arrived that I paid $126.50 for shipped. Ill sell the Griffon demos they came with that I don't want for like $100.
The fees stink for selling, but where else can you sell stuff to such a large audience? I did my mom in law a favor by selling some stupid paperweights for $65 each over the summer for her.
As others said, there is a ton of crap on there, but if you actually know what you are doing it is a viable buy and sell channel.
Step in snowboard bindings....oh my, the stupid has really shown their true colors......Shimano made some too, right?
But, but why all the hate:confused:Quote:

Oh yeah, eBay is flooded with people actually trying to sell stuff as a business and the scammers have always been there, but you can sell the obscure stuff you don't want anymore as well as pick up obscure stuff you want that nobody in your neighborhood has. For general shopping, I prefer Craigslist because I can fondle the stuff first
All this thread needs is for me and Hugh to whisper sweet nothings to Creaky.
You do realize that Ebay owns a percentage of Craigslist?Quote:

Also I've only had good experiences.
