Hi there,
Just wanted some advice from everyone.

This will be my first pair of twin tips. This guy around my area is selling two sets of his skis. (1) 2006 K2 Fujative 169's with Marker M1100 Free binding (w/ airpad) and (2) 2005 Salomon 1080 171's with the salomon 912 bindings.
If I had to guess, i'd have to say i'll be skiing half and half between park and normal trails. Which ski would you recommend me to buy? He is selling both sets for $300 - do you think that is a fair price? i was thinking a bit lower, myself. If you had to pick, which would you recommend?

im pretty sure you can get a better deal from around here then the guy who is trying to sell you his skis. Marker bindings are pretty bad.

if u have to choose between the 2 the salomon would be better since u think ur 50/50 and marker bindings suck and ask for a lower price

Dude, those skis are outrageously priced. I got my slightly used Maden's from last year with Rossi bindings for $400 on here. Shop around, there are lots of better deals. But for your pick, I'd go with the Salomans, for the value (Marker bindings are cheap, as are Fujatives) and for what you're going to be skiing (Fujatives are really really soft, the 1080 would be a little better all mountian).

nice,
thanks so much everyone - so helpful.
i was leaning towards the 1080's...
i am just looking for a decent twin tip to finish out the season... my old skis died and i've been rocking out on my '00 mike nick pro ahem* skiboards *ahem... i need some real skis. i'm fruitbootin around the whole mountain.

i'm sure i can talk this guy down - he wants to get rid of these two pairs... what do you think i can offer him? $150? less?

there's no way i'm paying more than $200

hahha i like the graphics more on the 1080's as well.
they seemed to have a bit more weight to them - felt sturdier...
also the bindings seemed much nicer...

now that we have decided on the ski, can you help me decide on a reasonable price?
Thanks,
A

if you're willing to dish out 300, you can get a much better deal. you could get new skis (from a year or two ago) and used bindings for around that price.

As of now, i really can't dish out all that much for skis.
$200 is what i want to spend, so i figure that if i can get them for $175 i would feel like i'm getting a good deal for my $...
