Girdles probably cost him under $50 a piece and you can resell for $100-$200 depending on condition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bnr032 11 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 i was more trying to highlight the fact that on one hand, everyone whinges that when they go to pro team sales, there is nothing left because the first few people came and bought all that they could carry regardless of if for private use etc.Then on the other hand we celebrate people who have 4 girdles which cant possibly be for personal use.

steelnation248 101 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 You make it seem like its a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario. Obviously he was able to pick up a few girdles. It's not a big deal. He's offering them back to people who weren't able to get them at the sale themselves. Kudos to Buzz for that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack 44 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 It's not like Buzz is a horrible guy who jacks up the price to insane levels like you find on eBay. I'm also guessing there wasn't a large disappointed crowd at the Ads sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorrisContender 4 Report post Posted June 3, 2013 Hey gang...it's been a while. Had to show off this find. Found these during my rounds of the local PIAS. They were sold as used although they are clearly new, even unsharpened. Just happen to me my size. Since the hockey knowledge base isn't real deep here in Cincinnati they were marked $49.99. I traded in a couple helmets I don't use and left with them for less than $27. I have a bunch of white LS2's laying around so I'll be swapping the black ones out.

What the heck, i dont even wear bauers but i would buy them at that price just to hang on my wall or sell hahaWhen I saw them I noticed the tag had "10.5" hand written on it. I thought to myself "ah some rich guy bought his first pair of hockey skates in his shoe size without being fitted". My next thought was "oh well I'll find them a home on modsquad." Then I looked at the tag on the skate and they're 9's....just like my one90's that happen to be on their last leg. Great success.If you're Jaromir Jagr then yeah. If not, you'll get so chirped 24/7.Nice steal man. PIAS is hilarious for steals. For the most part I like to blend in so it's white holders for me. To each his own though eh.

Will do. Should have them baked and holders swapped out by the end of this month. That leaves a couple months to break them in before beer league starts back up. I'm only playing roller this summer.

I've gotten a couple ice times under my belt with it, and I'm liking it so far. It's basically just an upgraded APX. They haven't added anything really new, but it's more responsive, pops a little better, and a hell of a lot better. I haven't noticed a tonne different in my shot, but my passes rocket of my blade now. I'm not sure who you'd get a pro stock from, they aren't that common in the show quite yet.

I can't imagine letting something like that be a factor in my decisions.Someone made fun of me because of the Mako's, chirping me because of the cost. The best part was his defensive partner was wearing them too. I got a kick out of that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
