Which bindings would sell higher? (Pictures!!!)

Ok, so after buying my ski gear for this year I realized I have three sets of bindings and only two pairs of skis. And I need some money for this winter. Thus, I guess I should sell some bindings, eh? Ok, so heres what I have currently:

Saloman s914's:

Rossi Axial 2's:

4FRNT Deadbolt 414's:

So heres the fun part; I need cash so I'll probably sell the one that can get me the most. Cast your vote on which I should sell, and then when I get enough responses, I'll see what was most popular and auction it off or something. All of these bindings are used, but none are damaged worse than just a small scuff in plastic or missing paint. Mounting and remounting isnt too much of an issue here, so what would probably get me the most money if I sold one?

Also, for qualified people only - what's best out of those for the Madens? Change out the Rossi's and strap on the 4FRNT's?

Saloman s914's are real nice bindings and would go high on tgr but on here people will jump on the bandwagon saying they suck so on ns its the rossi or the 4frnts

the 4frnts would also be the hardest to sell
swap out the 4frnts for the axials and sell the axials

Those Salomans are kinda old, they came with the skis, which were the first generation of the new 1080 line.

rossi and look are the SAME THING. what salomon binding did you break? i bet they were 810s, which are terrible bidings made for beginners. that or you didn't tighten your wings/ epoxy them in place, it's not that hard to do, i just tightened them in the lift line like once every couple of weeks and they were good. as for the question. on here the 4frnts have the highest resale value as they are harder to find, and they are 614s or 412s. you will also get decent money for the rossis on here, if you sell on TGR as well, they will all fetch aobut the same, though i don't know how the 4frnts would sell, i haven't seen any on there.

i was kidding about getting looks. aren't 4frnts made by look too??


i never broke a salomon binding. i gave up on them long before i broke them. i had 912's and hated them because i had them cranked and could still side release them by muting hard enough.

I would leave the axials on the madens that way you dont have to deal with remounting the ski which could just make it weaker.   The 4frnts are the most expensive so i would sell those. they may be tough to sell but i think you'll get more.  If not i would go 4frnt, rossignol, saloman in that order.

Bump, with an update.

Ok, so people seem to think I should sell the Deadbolts or the Salomans, and right now I'm tempted to go with the Saloman s912Ti's. I might be remounting the Madens to put them dead center anyways, and I'd probably put the deadbolts on them when I did that, and then move the axials to my Salomans. Thanks for the input everyone, I need to talk to a ski shop now and see how much of a deal I can get on remounting those beasts. Stay tuned if you need some bindings, I'll probably be auctioning off either the Salomans or the Axials next week sometime. Thanks again!

No shit, I meant that they're the first generation of the spaceframe model. Saloman released these skis two years in a row, and mine were from the first season.

I'm actually impressed by these skis, for all the chatter thier cores make they've still held up amazingly well. Definently a good buy for how long they've lasted me.

What are you people on? Don't put another set of holes in your made'ns for no reason! That's ridiculous. Your rossis are fine. I'd sell the ones that aren't mounted.

id sell the deadbolts. however, the rossis are the worst binding there. im a diehard rossi/look fan, but the new PXs suck dick. they are heavy, lower quality, break like crazy, cant be skied without brakes, and eliminated the reason we all ski looks, the turntable. so if your lookin for the most cash, sell the 4frnts. if your lookin for the best binders, sell the rossis.
