Your advice on skis
Hi,
I've never been skiing in my life so have zero knowledge on the subject and would like your advice on selling if that's possible. A friend of mine has given me the following (the makes and models are a bit sketchy I think): 1 pair Nordica NM 530 Boots 1 pair Dynastar Sport 66 Skis 1 pair Salomon SX60 Boots 1 pair Look B638 Ski poles 1 pair Dynstar (Vallees?) Skis 1 pair Rossignol (Aosta Sport?) skis I've got all of that information from the items themselves so I'm not sure if the models are exactly accurate or if they're just random statements but that's defiantely what it says on them. I have no idea if they're any good or what would even make them good (i.e. length, weight, make etc.) I have measured the Dynastar skis and they are 160cm in length. Is that good or or bad? I can't find any size information on any of the boots either and they don't look to be adjustable to fit. Is this normal? Or is it the skis that would normally adjust? I'm hoping to sell them on eBay or in the local newspaper and just wondered if any of you had any idea on a value. BTW, everything has been used once (i.e one ski trip) or twice so I'm told, so I'm sure that will take the price down a fair bit. If anyone would be kind enough to tell me more about the items that would be very much appreciated. It really would . Best regards, Jon -- |

If anyone would be kind enough to tell me more about the items that would be very much appreciated. It really would . I don't recognize many of those items. The Salomon SX60 boots were terrible boots when new, and are flower pots now. Plant some geraniums in them. Old Nordica boots had bad plastic, and regularly broke - newer Nordicas are OK. However, the poles are usable - make them the base of your ski equipment, and buy new gear color coordinated to the poles. (That latter part is a joke - the part about old poles being usable is true - Alu poles are good until they break.) If you sell this stuff on ebay or such, you're basically taking advantage of fools. If you sell them at a garage sell at least people can see what they're getting. Unrequested advice: If you intend to learn to ski: Rent until you've been out 10-15 days. Buy good boots first, from a speciality shop. |

Cheers for the advice. The bin awaits them. Yeah, might garage sale them. It's all 100% profit because the friend off loaded them on to me so I'm not too bothered how much they go for. 1 pair Nordica NM 530 Boots 1 pair Dynastar Sport 66 Skis 1 pair Salomon SX60 Boots 1 pair Look B638 Ski poles 1 pair Dynstar (Vallees?) Skis 1 pair Rossignol (Aosta Sport?) skis Could you make a toddler-size Adirondack chair out of 6 skis? -- Cheers, Bev ================================================== ================ "Don't sweat it -- it's not real life.
