hello everyone.

i have just recieved theese used atomic bent chetlers 2012/2013 edition along with marker griffon bindings for around 330 dollars.

however the guy i bought it off, wasnt being entierly honest when he said they were ''as good as new''

the back side off the skiis looks like it has seen the better part of 5 winters. i couldnt care less about the black marks/wax, but the edges, altough somewhat difficult to see on the pictures, looks like they have seen the face of a rock. the owner has clearly had them repaired, but the dent is still present, aswell as 1/3 of the edge missing in some places, due to repair. some of the ''holes'' in the bottom could be filled out with wax slightly more, altough i dont know if this will have any impact at all in terms of performance.

my question is: are theese problems insignifant, and if soo, should i keep them for the modest price? or should i send them back to theoriginal owner (14 day warranty)

sorry for not sending them in one link

I can't see the "missing edge" you are talking about. Are there any cracks in the edge? Dings and scratches don't mean anything, you can tune them out, but if the entire metal edge is cracked at any point, that could be an issue in the future.

i wouldnt say cracked, if u have ever seen an edge that has hit a rock that is exactly the kind of look

he most likely had them sharpened due to damages, i assume thats why a part of the edge is gone.

I would see if they will give you some of your money back if they really didnt mention any of that shit at all

330 with bindings for pow skis is a completely fair and honest price, the damage on those is insignificant in my book, if anything maybe get him to pay for a base and edge grind from your local shop and those will look good again!

i know, just feeling somewhat misled, when the seller said they where ''good as new'' and i was expecting just that. however i suppose i cant complain that much considering the price, and if there is no performance decrease then i guess i'll have to live with it :)
