Blowsion sells authentic RRP handle poles for $1300... Are these authentic?

 

[BThompson]

So you’re comparing the price of your Taiwanese poles to a genuine RRP pole on blowsion. Should be comparing it the the temu poles that you are selling for Tripple

His price is pretty dang close to cost.

Not sure if this was meant for me or BT (or both), but here is my position...

The statement "I have 3 brand new black lightweight billet aluminum handle poles ($1300 from Blowsion) ready to go." STRONGLY implies that this person purchased poles from Blowsion for $1300 and is reselling them (for around half the price).

I was asking for confirmation if these are authentic poles purchased from Blowsion, because I suspect they are not and that would change my level of interest...If these are authentic RRP poles purchased from Blowsion (with a receipt) I'll buy them all.

There are many many many people trying to make a buck selling "knock-off" RRP poles, and there is certainly a market for them (I bought one before I was ready to throw "RRP Money" at this hobby) - but implying that what you are selling costs nearly double when purchased from a reputable vendor is a fallacy when that reputable vendor is selling a product that came at a much higher cost to them, because it is authentic and supports the R&D involved in bringing an original product to market.

It's fine to try to sell an alternative, but call it what it is and don't try to pass it off as something it's not. The no-brand poles like this can be found for $350 on Alibaba available in single quantities...is the shipping from China $350 for one? If so, and you're willing to wait weeks for it, this IS close to cost like @KMN said and might be a good deal for someone who doesn't want to wait for a container ship. The price isn't really my gripe, but rather the implication that the RRP and NON version are apples to apples when they are not.

As for why a forum member who hasn't posted in 4 years has 3 aftermarket poles listed for wholesale? Well now that is a question for a potential buyer to consider.

All very valid points, But its still borderline post dumping........... One persons post was more valid than the others.

Some members go years without posting, but they read...... Then they randomly start posting. His IP Addy's track with his location

Pretty easy to go on alibaba and order a bunch of poles at $450 a piece and resell them. See this crap on FB all the time. None of this is post dumping and this activity is hard on the sport.

I'm hoping he's been quietly building a bada$$ squarenose in the background and is just coming up for air.

Since the seller appears to accept P/P goods and services, it's likely not a scam, in which case this is a good deal for what it is.

Actually it is post dumping. You go post something for sale here. Then I come in and start questioning it validity, Bob was sitting here about to send a PM saying I will take it, But now he is having second thoughts about it and decides "Nah, will go somewhere else"....... You just lost a sale of an item that you needed to sell, and not others saw all this and are scared away...................

If you notice, Original Poster never said "These are RRP Poles", He listed them as Lightweight Alum Poles and compared them to poles Blowsion sells....... Grin made the reference to "Authentic RRP Poles"........... This also casted a bad light on this listing.........

There's plenty of drama about these poles on FB if y'all are looking for some.
I should know!! lol

 

[Rushford_Ripper]

For what it’s worth, this guy is local to me and I have purchased from him before. He is legit if anyone is looking to purchase from him.

 

[jetskidude1113]

It’s the same Chinese supplier/s that makes RRP handle poles, just without the RRP stamp. I have them in my skis.

Have your pole on my ski works fine
