    Help with pricing ski equipment.

    This is not a for sale thread.

    What is the general rule for pricing ski equipment, half retail and subtract $?? per year or something like that.

    In $US what would be a good selling price for the following items;

    1.) 03/04 Volkl V-Pro 180cm (the grey ones with the chicks on them), with Rossi Axial 120 bindings. Used 20 days, some top sheet scratches, and two or three base repair jobs - fixed up almost perfectly. This set up new would cost $AUD1,300 although V-Pro's are almost impossible to get so may go for more.

    What would you sell the skis/bindings for as a package, what would you sell the skis for separately and the bindings separately.

    2.) 04/05 Volkl 724 EXP's 177cm, with Marker 1200 motion bindings. Used 5 days max, near perfect condition on bases and top sheet. This is a $AUD1,400 package new in Australia.

    So hit me with your, "If I was selling this equipment, I would be happy to get $X" amount.

    Avoid employing unlucky people - throw half of the pile of resume's in the bin without reading them.

    General rule: maggot/bro price= 1/2 Retail (store price, not MSRP) -10% per year - $ Damage beyond normal wear and tear + $ for hard to come by item. Ebay or sucker prices may be higher, maybe 2/3 retail and -5% per year.

    Package deals for binders and ski (-$20-40 if purchased together depending on gear).

    So for example

    YOUR 03/04 V-Pro 180 w/rossi 120's. 1300/2=750. 750-75=675. 675-3 base repairs + hard to find in Aus - package deal = $600 (I hope that's Aus $$)

    Realisticaly 03/04 V-Pro 180 w/rossi 120's new in the US proably goes for ~$650-750. There's a big difference between MSRP and store prices, keep that in mind.
    I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.
