What is a good price on used ski blades in decent condition, like edges a bit rusty and some minor base damage? Been wanting ski boards for a while and have a good lead, but I don’t know what a good price is

that's a fire price of course but those are pretty beat up so they prob won't slide very well, plus it looks like they're even smaller than "normal" blades

what's your budget? obv you want to keep it super low but i think you can even find something more suitable for only a little bit more. i'd check geartrade.com, ebay, mercari, that kind of place and i bet you can find something in much better condition for like 100 ish or less

the ones you sent now in PM are okay. good price and decent condition, but ive never heard of that brand (and that's saying something) and i can't quite tell if they are twin tip.

what's your budget and what is your use for the skiboards? an occasional mess around thing? using them all the time? are you an experienced skier or is this an entry

back when skiboards were at their peak, they were usually 90 or 99cm. Line's were pretty fat in the waist for those days (total guess, maybe around 100mm?), and salomons were skinnier (those were the two big sellers back then). idk how skiboards have evolved since then with the smaller amount of riders who still actively use them

let me know what you're using them for and what the budget is

Using them for shits and giggles, def not a kore ski boarder. I’m pretty good in the park like intermediate. Budget max is sub 100, but I would love to get under 50 bucks for ski blades

word. in that case i'd just keep an eye out on ebay, craigslist, and any other boards like that. this is the kind of stuff im seeing with a quick google

https://www.ebay.com/itm/393429054838?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28

https://www.ebay.com/itm/184972927633?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28

https://www.ebay.com/itm/234066530501?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28

under $50 will be tough to find quickly but if you keep your eye out on different places for a few weeks maybe you'll stumble upon something that cheap. good luck!
