$200 plus shipping. Located near Allentown, PA.
Skis have not been heavily used; I purchased them new in the summer of 2016 and used them a bit last spring at Killington. They have been mounted twice (because of a shop owner who bullied me into a forward mount on account of my lady parts and how they supposedly affect gravity or some s*@& like that. Then I had to correct the mount because, as I predicted with my lady brain, it sucked); they are currently mounted for a 305 BSL.
The bases have a medium-course grind (put in with a SkiVisions tool & medium stone) because I primarily used them in soft spring snow. I think the straight, medium grind is pretty good, but then I never work on my skis without a beer nearby. Your assessment of the base quality may differ from mine. The bindings were bought new with the skis and are in excellent shape except for some paint that's chipped off (see pics). I don't know why the dang paint chipped, but it started coming off almost immediately. I don't stomp on my bindings or let them bang around in the car, so I'm confident that the paint chipping is just a cosmetic defect.
In short, these have "had some work done" as they say in Hollywood. We're not talking Joan Rivers levels of work, but they've been on the shop table probably more than they've been on the snow. They've got some good days ahead of them, though, for the discerning buyer willing s to see their true, playful personality underneath the surface flaws. Also good for the skier who doesn't obsessively purchase expensive ski gear to distract from the yawning abyss of purposeless existence or the knowledge of one's own impending mortality. They would also be excellent for the skier fond of the Japanese art of wabi-sabi who embraces life's material imperfections because he or she knows that "we are all transient beings on this planet—that our bodies, as well as the material world around us, are in the process of returning to dust" and thus that we should find beauty in what may appear at first glance to be ugly.
(The pictures posted twice for some reason, which is just more soulful imperfection brought to us by the cold and mercenary world of technology. Or I f-ed up the upload. Whatever.)
