How much for these skis?

So a friend of mine just got a deal on Head skis, and is getting rid of his Scratch Sprayer FS's(no bindings). I’m planning on buying them from him in the next couple months, however, I am at a complete loss for a price. I'm just wondering what price range, in CAD is reasonable. Remember, the price is for skis only.

Skis have been mounted twice, once at -4 and once at centre.
No edge cracks.
A few deep scratches
A few top sheet chips (no more than 1cm)
Overall pretty good condition.
Bindings NOT included.

I'm gonna say 75-100$ considering that they go for 150$ new and they're last years.

Well, they are double mounted, so that brings their price down considerably. If you can mount in the same holes, that is a huge plus for you. The max most shops will mount is the third time, so you better get it right. Those skis originally retailed for like $450-$550, but with 2 previous mounts, plus base scratches, I wouldn't pay more than $150 us dollars. but the us dollar isn't that far off from the canada dollar now so I'd say not a penny over $175 canadian, but more like $150-175 Canadian. That may seem low, but with the number of mounts, and for Rossi's lower end scratch, I think it's spot on.

$150 low? Have you read this thread? They're retailing for $150 brand new right now. That, plus 2 mounts ... I wouldn't go a penny over $80.

I cant mount in the same holes, as I have px and he has pivots on them at the moment.

Im pretty good friends with the shop manager at my sportcheck, so he doesnt have a problem with mounting a 10th time.

I think that 70 may be too low. 100-120 is the range I'm thinking at the moment.
