Barely Used Rossignol Bandit XX for $400...Good Deal?

I'm on the hunt for new skis. My old ones have been deemed unsafe (1979
vintage green Atomic ARC with Salomon 747 bindings) and I'm jumping back
into skiing big.

Read nothing but good things about the Rossignol Bandit XX, seems to be
in the same flavor as the K2 Axis XT/XP's which I demo'd last year.

$400 a decent price for barely used skis?

With bindings? What length?

Yep, bindings. 184 cm (I weigh 200, 6'3")

What bindings? Length is OK. Maybe 5cm long but since your old ones are no
doubt longer, you'll be fine. Price is about right if the bindings are
decent.

I am looking at this site... http://www.evogear.com/productdetail.asp?pn=16

Lots of choices for bindings. I am considering a pair with demo
bindings, as I'll probably be buying new boots this year (1979 vintage
Langes) but not immediately.

Although they don't have the XX, http://www.skiandsnowboardhouse.com sells
Bandit X for 149 bucks.

I would think twice about demo binders. They're usually a good bit
heavier and possibly prone to slop. Unless your foot has grown
significantly from when you bought the Langes, the sole lenghts on the
boots will be within the adjustable range of a non-demo mount.
