Baller Than_Bogan Posted June 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 13, 2012 Think maybe Dave is playing the Asian market that we've been learning about recently via ski-it-again and Taelan28, among other sources? I could imagine this as a must-have collector's item for a certain slightly-too-rich must-impress-friends category of buyer. This is, after all, the ski that started a revolution. Even if Dave didn't think of this (which I doubt -- he's a sharp businessman for sure), I'd be curious to know how many of these end up in Asia.

Baller ral Posted June 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 13, 2012 I do not think that in our sport there is a space for valued collector's memorabilia. I am kind of certain that the 9100 that Jeff R. used for running 41 for the first time would be sold at less than Warp value in an auction. Would not probably be Sotheby's material...

Baller Than_Bogan Posted June 13, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted June 13, 2012 @ral I think perhaps you misunderstand. I don't mean somebody's gonna sell this thing for more than retail someday because it's "collectible." I mean someone will want to buy one (at retail, from Goode) just to say he has one, as opposed to skiing on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller teammalibu Posted June 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 13, 2012 MS wil buy one he is collecting skis that dont work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MrJones Posted June 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 13, 2012 The 9100 will still get it done. I am sure that Favret will give the 67" a shot. If it is offered in 66.25 I would try it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ral Posted June 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 13, 2012 Than, I think I got it. In any case, if I get one and I say to my wife "it is just to say I have it", she would be angry, worried and scared... I can stand one of these at the same time, not the three...

Baller_ Wish Posted June 14, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hmmmmm?, maybe Jeff R. is skiing on one now. Put up some big scores, get accepted as a BD contender, run the 41 pass and then have a big unavailing. That would sell some skies. Ya ....crazy.

Baller ForrestGump Posted June 14, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 14, 2012 At the Malibu, Charles and I were standing there talking to Jeff after their first round of qualifying. He wiped the ski down quickly and put it in it's case. It did not have the top sheet contour of a 9100, though. Of that I'm pretty sure. Charles asked him what he's riding now and he replied something like "Ahhhh, just an old stick." LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taelan28 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Whatever play Dave is making to the asian market i gotta say hes doing a decent job. It wouldnt hurt to do research to see if there are any nuances Goode needs to find and cater to so they can dominate. One thing he could do is look into korean import taxes. See if he can find a way to lower the cost of the ski by a few hundres bucks. Btw what do you mean youve been learning things about the asian market via SIA? was there an article? are you friends getting buyers from asia?
