weird ski-it-again inquiries

[Razorskier1]

Anyone have experience with odd ski-it-again inquiries? I got one on my Flextail. Typos, sentence fragments, capitalization changes. Looks highly suspicious. Thought I saw a thread about this at some point.

There have been a few threads about South Koreans buying up a lot of used skis. They were legit

This inquiry seemed very odd -- text below. Any way to check it through SIA?

 

hi~

 

I was interested in your ski.

please tell me more about payment systems.

Do you have Paypal account . . ?

so i can make your payment?

Also please tell me your shipping method and cost to destination of zip code is 90005. (Los Angeles, CA)

 

I'd appreciate your quick response.

 

Thanks

Sold a N1 to Elly last summer

[BCskiier]

Elly is a good buyer

Sold a flextail to Elly 2 months ago and the payment went through PayPal right away.

I assume he/she is reselling the skis, though not sure where.

@oldjeep for ballofspray?

[Chef23]

I sold a ski to Elly also with no problems.

@oldjeep Sadly no. I use https://goo.gl/ for link shortening on my phone and I complain when all you guys do not :neutral: It is my job

@Razorskier1 I'm fairly certain Elly is buying recent high end skis, having them shipped to Los Angeles, and crate shipping them to Korea for resell. Seems to be a crazy hot market there right now. I sold them a Mapple and a Goode a year or so back.

LOTS of South Korean skiers on Instagram. It's gaining a ton of popularity. I know @JoelHowley goes over there at least once a year.
