Loudpawlz
Just got my new skis from Bandit Man. Everything was as described and packaged very well. Good guy.
Not even a year yet and I was welcomed by most of the collective and made several great deals, met new friends and wasted many a hours on these boards. My list of those that I can remember doing business with.
DePierre, you never forget your first
Summit, I'll take your cast offs any day
Axebiker, Class
Steven S. Dallas, great deal and the most excellent referance for the elusive Mantras
Splat, when my order got a little sideways he/they made it very right
Gunnison? my first tele set up, my new addiction.
Yabyum, ok this was my first tele set that made want the above tele set
Bmxbandit, great deal on pants
Cascadianwarrior, Free delivery!!
Teleknees, you all know why
Inspectorgadget, Kokopelli and Blood Sweat and Steel. No deals with them but first class Mags all the way.
I know I missed others, and I didnt even mention all the stuff I personaly sold here, gotta love the new storage space for PMs, now I can save messages from people that I have worked with.
Cheers
Just got a pair of boots from lingcod. Was very helpful with sizing questions, was great to deal with, prompt shipping.
Wanted to give props, can't let one or two bad eggs overshadow the positive forces around here.
in spite of a few bad apples here,
my experiences in gear swap have all been
very good to excellent.
this list will grow, as i gather up all the names, but some recent great transactions have come via:
lexi-bell : from whom i'm to receive today an undrilled pair of explosiv 2's
these gems originally entered the community via...
gamma : received 997 toes for parts cheap and quick...as well as an undrilled pair of lacroix powder IX that arrived exactly ONE DAY after paypal sent
motobeak : set me up with the holy grail (for me), a pair of minty 190 W105s for a very nice price :
comish : set me up with a minty pair of 170 W105s...hope your knee is healing well!
jersey powder : minty 183 axioms for $100 delivered to my place of work
mtlion : quick turnaround on brakes for all my ski purchases
sorry bro : 190 K2 'sploders..now one of my favorite skis
rip : set me up with a nice granite pack...was very honest+informative about pros and cons of the pack (it's worked out well for ski carry...as well as for carrying a day's worth of beers on the chairs :fmicon: )
edit:
some other good maggots to deal with from further back in time:
vanisle: set me up with my second pair of W9.1FFs
safety squad : set me up with cheap turntable toes for brakes
maniloff : set me up with a minty pair of rossi ski boots i used all season
skadams.ca : was super patient while i waited for the tax refund that would fund my purchase
thanks all!
make things right, ye jesse joneses of the world,
or face a lifetime of maggot misery :FIREdevil

bossass : the source of my first waxing iron...no more getting re-melted wax on my shirts:)
skis were shipped to me promptly by cooltsi
they were traded for bindings with Skidog
I think adam sent me a duct tape wallet I never used.
Don't think I've had any other transactions here.
I sold a pair of Dynastar XXL's to Wiilbert. Excellent deal with no problems !
Good stuff from: anotherVTskibum
...and a ton of others I can't remember because I just cleared my PM's....
Hmm, I clicked this thread to add your name to it too. Thanks again :DQuote:

Haven't done tons of transactions, but definite props go to:
trainvain - mantras at a great price
doremite - sox tix
vinman - skins (and of course all the med advice)
Good deals with
Splat - duh
DaveP - good communication, fast payment
GoEHuge - killer deal, fast shipping, good communication
Wurst - Good communication, honest, good deal and fast shipping
mgof - i know where he lives, so he's not going to screw me. good guy, always on the ball with transactions and super reasonable
Even as a jong lowlife I'm impressed by the community here. I've been ripped off on the interwebz a few times for more money than I'd like to admit and it's great to know people here stick together and subsequently lynch scammer assholes together. If anyone is ever dicking a maggot around in the greater Western Mass area or relatively nearby, put me on it. It would be my honor and privelege to extend the reach of the maggot code enforcement crew. I know my post count is bullshit but hey we all have to start somewhere, right?
JakeCast did me right. Speedy and good communication.
Whyturn is sending me some free high intensity a frames
lets forget the whole praxis incident
No surprise, but marshalolson and the look ZRs he sold me kick ass.
forgot to add Ottime is very good people.
He through a 20 into the box after we decided on a price, because he felt they were a little more scratched up then described.
Beaterd is the fucking man. He went out of his way to pick up a pair of rare skis for me and shipped them quicklike before I even paid. Excellent communication and +100000000 maggot points for being the man. FKNA:yourock::yourock:
The baby loves the skis too, as soon as she saw them she had to crawl right on top of them and drool. I can't wait till she's old enough to put her on a pair of her own.
Nick Pappagiorgio knows how to do Gear Swap. It was a pleasure doing business with him.
Elesquiador = good people!
Right backatcha man.Quote:

Also, Dantheman is solid for taking back a pair of skis that I wasn't completely satisfied on the condition of, and was good about commo. Definately another solid mag.
Mr. Toad-don't let the low post count scare you. Also a ttipper.
nutcase paid very fast, all good
I get home from an after-work bike ride and have a box sitting on my back stoop. I was kinda expecting to receive the skis sometime this week, but not in a box big enough to ship myself back to NY in.

And enough bubble wrap to make me comfortable in the cargo hold:

Big thanks for the hookup. These will be perfect for icy days 'round these parts. :yourock::yourock:
Also, probably redundant props for various transactions to:
Conundrum
mn_teleskier
AxeBiker
KoKopeLLi
hialtitude
ski_faster
word929
Slave2Gravity
PapaBeer
Skidog
I've met three of 'em so far, hope to meet more.
Props to:
Hugh Jass-great deal on that fork, chabnged my whole life.
Ubertele-Quick, easy, steezy.
Corky- Good people, totally legit.
5B-Quick like a bunny, really friendly.
Nate S-Those monsters are sweeet...
Also JTrue, 02Sedona, everyone else I forgot. Thanks, fellas.
Can I have the box? I need a big ass box to ship some skis and I was gonna make magic with duct tape, bubble wrap, and cardboard scraps but that might be just the thing, let me know, i could pay for you to ship it to meQuote:

Super fast payment and legit
the vor, for hooking me up with an msr dragonfly, and shipping it on the super-fly! It arrived just as described, and the price was right. Thanks, man!
Nickman shipped fast and cheap for me. Kudos to him.
Spankthepow sent me a bike at a great deal and split shipping with me. Then he refunded me ten more bucks 'cause shipping was cheaper than he thought. Good communication and fast shipping.:yourock:
Wes - because they go by outer dimensions as well as weight, I think the box would cost about the same to ship full or empty. So unless it's worth $30 to you, you're probably better off finding a water heater box or something like that.

Researcher is the man. Got some AK Rocket LAB swallowtails from him with 916's for a smoking deal, a damn good deal. Shipped monday got here today. Excellent to do business with.
Hugh Conway is a dope rockstar doesn't-have-to-shave man among men... he shipped a pair of BD flicklocks absolutely free... I wasn't even expecting them. I owe him some brew, now. If he'd only fess up to his e-mail address, so I could paypal him some $dinero$...
i know your post was from, like, 18 months ago, but i didn't see it until tonight. thanks for the props. i was happy to hook everyone up. that was a big deal where basically everyone was cool.Quote:
