Hey im not sure if this is the right place to have this thread so please don't be mad at my noobness I just need some help. Any tips or advice would be unbelievably appreeciated (++K as well). So i tried out a pair of my buddies AR6s last year and had to buy some for this new season.

So I found a pair for really cheap with a pretty good *ding* on the edge and was explained that it could just be "hammered down and epoxied pretty easy." Also I was told the edges are pretty round but there aren't any edge cracks.

I don't know anything about how to repair dings or edges like these and how it would effect the usability of the ski later so PLEASE help me out with info so I dont buy these and end up screwed. Also if it is repairable how much do you think it would be if i took it to a shop?

THANKS so much for the help ns!!

that shouldn't be a problem at all, it looks like the sidewall's ok too
i've had a lot worse on my skis, you can get that done with a full tune for about $40 and that shouldn't affect your skis' performance too much.
i say get em
