For sale: Original 04 Ar5s size 180. They were bought last year and haven't really been skiied that much, just a few times last season and once this year. Mounted only once with rossi axials at true center for a 335mm sole. Bindings not included. They're in great shape overall, and they remain sick, sick skis. Plus, now they have the whole "Vintage Armada" thing going, like the pink and black ArVs!

I've taken a bunch of pictures so you get a clear idea of condition and so forth.

Looking for 250 multicoloured Canadian dollars.

Topsheets... barely touched really, couple scuffs here and there.

Here is the only area of damage, a base gouge incurred on the first weekend these were on snow... damn rocks. It's small, didn't do any damage to the edge, and wasn't more than a mm or so deep. Barely worth a repair, but I had it fixed with a Ptex gun anyway because a tech offered to. You can still see it (as in picture) thanks to Ptex being clear, but if you ran your finger over it you'd hardly be able to tell it was there. There's a smaller one to the left of the picture.

Just to show you the overall excellent condition, here are some more pictures.

I'm probably not selling with bindings unless someone gives me a hell of an offer.

Remember, the skis are only mounted once anyway, so remounting is no problem.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our moron. Thanks for your opinion, but I have 3 people interested in buying and about 10 more say they would if they had any money. How about you take your negativity somewhere else.

A_Whelan, I pmed you back.

Wow that's really happy for you. Some people get skis for free, but you don't see them complaining about prices. You sure are helping everyone else, aren't you? Unless you'd like to tell us all where we can get them for 200, stop posting. Seriously, who cares what you bought your skis for?

And i doubt you got the 180s for that price in this condition, the smaller sizes are available far more often and therefore sell for lower prices. First time i have seen the 180 ar5s from this vintage for sale in about a year...

Thanks, we're all happy for you. I'm sure you feel really good about yourself for it. But like I say it doesn't help people who might be in the market for good park skis in good condition unless they have more and you have a phone number. If you do, I guess I'll just have to drop my price. Otherwise you're just being a dick... and for all I know you're lying anyway. Now get out of my thread.

Back on topic, any more offers?
