Too good to believe. Brand new $51.69 (plus shipping)
Akaczy is in Michigan.
Anybody know this outfit?
I am still hunting down those Fischer skis, stumbled across this site.
I'm not interested in the Objectives but maybe you are.

Definitely a scam, I would avoid at all cost.
Always verify websites with deals thst are way too good to be true.

Is like they forgot a zero or something. Everything is mega cheap, but the normal crossed-out prices ain't right either.

Go to the "About us" page, and paste the address into Google maps. It's a modest house in a residential neighborhood in Michigan.
Compare with the tracking information on the "Shipping policy" page, which has a Chinese tracking info page.
The product photos? Taken with so many different backgrounds, you know they weren't taken by this seller! Probably lifted off eBay.

The address for a private home. Hamtramck is a city just outside of downtown Detroit. The City of Detroit grew around Hamtramck completely landlocking it within the city’s border.
Hamtramck has always been a city of immigrants. At one time it was heavily Polish, and Pope John Paul II visited the city. Today while some of the Polish shops and restaurants remain, it has become a city of middle eastern Muslim people. I’m pretty sure there is a predominant Yemeni presence. I do know there are minarets and the call to prayer is heard over loud speakers, and full burkas are common. The city was built before cars, so houses are close together and no garages for storage of stock.
It could be a box fell off a caravan, but if it’s too good to be true...

Sure seems like a scam. But where else can you get
this for $63.65?

You win, Fisheater.
I've wasted too much time trying to to find Fischer Excursion 88s. Not gone happen this season.
Guess I'll dig out my old Black Diamond Valmonte "telemark/backcountry" 205cm from the '90s. Take off the Black Diamond Chouinard 3pin binding and put on my new NNN BCs and use my new Alaska BCs. I'm still on the mend from my knee replacement, so gotta take it easy. No ski trails around here but that's okay with me.

I would go for the DPS Pure for 57.83 and grab those Objectives too.
I've been getting weird adds showing up on my facebook feed for a real nice wool anorak for 39.00, another scam I presume.

I think I found the real ebay item where the scam site got the photo:
