Hey guys, a deal popped up on craigslist, and I have actually bought from this guy before. Not sure if you guys remember or not, but at the end of last summer I bought a 98 SPX from this guy that had been burnt up (wires at least) and the engine was full of water. I wasnt too pissed tho, bought it for $200, sold it for $300 as I didnt have time to work on it at that point.
Anyways he just listed his like 2000 or 2001 GTI for sale, and I have been texting him a little bit. The guy knows nothing about skis really, but he had it "diagnosed" last year, and he "thinks it needs a top end". He was asking $1500, I inquired about it just cause I know he negotiated with me last year, I asked him if he would take $500, he said the lowest he would take was $800. Last year i remembered it was sitting on a super heavy duty double trailer (If i remember correct), and I asked him this time if the ski came with the trailer. He said no, as he has other skis at the Lake (Lake of the Ozarks, all around missouri we just call it "The Lake" lol). I said okay nevermind Ill pass then. Then he says if you want it all, he would make a deal at $1000 for the ski and the double trailer. I told him a few days ago I would think about it, well today came and since he didnt list any pictures on the add, I asked him if he would send me some...here they are
Im not gunna lie here, I dont know if you guys know but I am probably about one of the youngest "regular" users here. I actually just graduated college, 23 years old, and just this week started my first "real job" in the mortgage and insurance industry. So basically my "storage" area is about my dads garage which is already full and if I bring home another ski he may kick me out lol. I wish I had tons of storage area like you guys do, I may have a couple of other places I can store it for a little while but unfortunately like some members here [MENTION=41828]Minnetonka4me[/MENTION], [MENTION=57920]racerxxx[/MENTION], [MENTION=51350]Jetskigoodies[/MENTION], etc I can only keep about one to two skis at a time. I was already planning on getting rid of my GSX as soon as spring shows its face so I can get maximum or closer to the max value to it, but i keep finding all of these deals and you guys who just buy buy buy are making me feel lame cuz I only will make a deal if it is at rock bottom prices. Like my 97 XP deal I bought for 700, i bought it knowing I would get rid of my GSX, bought it with a super nice trailer which I sold for $400 and only have about $400 including maintainence parts including the ski itself to get it running. If I can get this ski running, I would hope to let my dad use it as he has a 93 Yammy Waverunner which is super reliable, but slow and old, and i think this would be a better fit.
Urgh, stop me before I get too far gone with the sickness....
