As many of you know, we all like a good deal. That's the main reason we started our Hot Gear Deals section where Divas can post about any great deals they'd like to share. However, starting today we're changing our policy: only deals by reputable ski retailers can be posted: Backcountry.com, Altrec, SierraSki, and the like are fine. Ebay auctions and "buy it now" offers will no longer be permitted.
There are a couple reasons for this:
1) Some sellers on ebay are questionable, and we have no way of weeding out the good from the bad. Some dealers -- and I emphasize some -- use ebay to unload counterfeit or ill-gotten merchandise, and we don't want to be a part of it. All the same, if you want to buy things there, that's fine. We just don't want to publicize sales here, since we don't know who's reputable and who's not;
2) Publicizing an auction may prevent a Diva from winning a product she's trying to bid on, since it'll increase competition.
Hope you understand. If you have any questions or problems with this, please send me a PM.
