Oakville Sailboard & Ski Inc. opened for business
April 1, 1986 on Lakeshore Road just east of the bridge in downtown Oakville and moved
three years later to the present location, three blocks west of the bridge on
the north-east corner of Lakeshore Road and Kerr Street .
|
|
Initially it was a
Windsurfing shop in the summer and
Downhill Skiing
equipment, clothing and boots in the winter, along with
Ski Service and Ski Tune Ups, which includes sharpening edges and hot waxing.
|
|
Because of demand,
Water Skis
and related items were added the following year.
|
|
Snowboards and
Wakeboards were added when they appeared on the
scene a few years later.
|
|
Closely related items like
Car Racks
and attachments and Foot
Bed Insoles
are also sold, along with other related items..
|
|
A few unique items are stocked, such as
Hackey Sacks, which are not universally
available in most other sport shops.

Used sporting goods
consignments:
The store expanded into consignments of used sporting goods using two different systems of pricing:
-
The first type uses a
system with selling prices staying the same for 6 months before they might be
reduced and 1 year before the reductions might be greater, in order to
move the item. The standard commission rate is 40%, but this can be changed in
special circumstances. To view the current unsold inventory of all these
consignment items click to the Used Sports sale page.
-
The second type uses
a unique pricing formula, like a "Dutch Auction" - with the selling price going
down every month every month for 8 months, with the same reduction each month,
at which time the price of the item is the amount of the commission, which is
25% of the initial starting price. For more information on this type of
consignment, click to the Cheap Sports shop
page. To view the current unsold inventory of all these consignment items
