- I have some skis. Two pair. They're apparently German made (one
- set has some nifty little metal lables mounted on them, which say
- "Sportshause Munchen" or something like that, and have some obscure
- acronym as well). The labeled set it about 6', the other about 6'9".
- I bought them at an auction a few months ago (auctions are addictive,
- don't go unless you like to spend money or can control yourself) for
- $5 (for *both* sets). There's even a set of poles.
-
- They're made of laminated wood. Nobody I've spoken to can remember
- the last time they saw wood skis. I figure they're about 30 years
- old, maybe more.
-
- I'm looking for a yuppie sucker on a nostalgia kick that I can soak
- for a couple of hundred bucks per set....
