- I bought these skis for $510. I thought knocking off $50.00 was resonable. I did
- mention best offer. If anyone is interested in making an offer I'm willing to
- listen. By the way, the skis were mounted by an experienced technician and I don't
- know what you mean by a new ski tune. Is that similar to a dealer prep charge
- for a new car? I never heard of new skis needing a tune. Who knows, the skis
- that you purchased were used.
-
- I did forget to mention that the skis are 204cm in length.
