Default Integrated Binding Systems

We know these are the right skis because we demoed them. My local ski shop
did not have them and
the gentleman at the ski shop told me to make sure I get the bindings
integrated with the skis.

Can someone explain to me what he meant by this? He said some shops try to
sell these skis cheaper
because they lack the integrated feature.

Thanx in advance

For the Fischer, the AMC comes with the Railflex system. I think the
guy meant that you may find the ski for cheap, but make sure they come
with the binding OR make sure you get the correct binding to work with
the railflex system:

Click on the railflex box (lower left) and look at all pages:

Not sure about the Volkl, but I'm sure it's a similar thing.

P.S.

Check out this place for the AMC skis ($549 with binding - so they
say):
