HELP!!!! I MAY SPEND MORE MONEY! '06 AURAS OUT THERE!

[vanhoskier]

I was in search of some 177cm Volkl Auras, but didn't want to spend the $600 or so for a pair on Ebay. So, I clicked on a link to Skiershop in VT here on this site and emailed them about it. They sent me an email saying they didn't have any, and I then decided, no big deal. I REALLY do love my Lines and will NOT give them up. I don't need another pair of skis. It was just a want thing, and I loved the wood look of the '06 Auras.

I decided the '06's were nowhere to be found. Case closed. Not meant to be.

......but they must have forwarded my email to other shops, because...

I just got an email from a shop in AZ saying they had a pair of unused '06-07's in 177cm! $500.

HOLY CRAP, WHAT DO I DO NOW?????

 

[persee]

Ahhh the dangers of innocent looking. I know these too well!

Well DUH!!!!
Buy them!!!

Yeah, but I think you can get them for cheaper. I bought mine for something like $350, and that was when they were barely last season's.

On the other hand ... the 177s aren't being made anymore, so ...

I'd offer $400 and see what they say.

Ditto that! :D

The girl who emailed me won't be in the shop til Tuesday (I called and they told me to talk to her) so I'll make her a lower offer then and see what she says.

Good plan. You have a few more days to "justify" and stragtegize this one. I'm sure we can help more

Yeah, I thought a few days to "sleep on it" might cause me to be more cautious. It's not working. Even DH said to buy them!

Considering I spend too much time on the computer, I even looked all over the web for these skis. The darn things have vanished!

Go for it!!

 

[volklgirl]

[whisper]you still want them and have to buy them[/whisper]

 

[oragejuice]

I dare you to do it. They are AMAZING skis.

AHHH, no one needs to dare me! I'll take the plunge!

 

[volklgirl]

Yay!!!!!

 

[Solincia]

AHHH, no one needs to dare me! I'll take the plunge!

It's only money... you'll make more! But now you'll get to stop thinking about buying them, and start thinking about skiing them!! ALOT more fun!

 

[vanhoskier]

OK...now everybody needs to send some good karma my way for my hopeful purchase of the Auras tomorrow (hopefully they'll have a good aura about them). Oh, that's bad, I know.....

Then there is no need for this thread! Come on now.
