Mounting skis again

so i'm thinking about buying some used skis and i realized that they would have be unmounted and then mounted again for me to use them (since i'm not buying the bindings). i think i heard somewhere that remounting can hurt the strength of the ski.
is this true? would i be better off just buying new skis or buying them with the first bindings they were mounted with?
thanks

No you don't. Remounting in a different place is fine. Screwing into existing holes is fine. I put a different pair of S900s on my Skogens in the same holes with a bit of wood glue and they've held perfectly - they're only used for park too so they've been put through a lot of abuse. The only problem you might have is if you're putting a different brand of bindings on then some of the holes might be too close to the old ones.
