Can't believe the bindings tho. I was helping a mate who was wanting to buy his 1st stuff and he asked about binding types, so I showed him some Burton Cartel's and explained strap in system and then I told him there was another step-in system most commonly made by Flow, he asked to see a pair so I had a wee search and picked up this pair and half way thru explaining to him I realised that they were in quality nick and only 4k so I decided to keep em!! Luckily he wasn't gonna buy bindings that day!! Book Off does have a website but not for buying things, just nfo about where the nearest shop is IIRC. Its a 2nd hand shop, loads of stores all over Japan, they sell everything, not just snow gear Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 They also pay for about 2 yen for something they will try and sell for 30000 yen! If you're selling games/cds etc I recommend getting them on amazon or something over those dudes. Often wonder how they come up with a price so quickly. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 I wouldn't sell anything to them, but buying is great. Pick up some great DVD's for 500 yen Link to post Share on other sites
