so are they bindings everyone is trying to sell comparable to say fks's? pros/cons? are some people just taking crappy old bindings, marking the price up a ton and saying they are legit?

example:

Those are no longer idemnified.  No shop will mount them.

Most shops are only allowed to mount modern bindings. They get a list from manufacturers about which bindings are outdated.

Doesnt matter.  You cant have them put on skis.  They are paperweights now.

so everyone who are selling these are basically ripping people off, unless you somehow mount them yourself?

Some that look similar are still good to go.  They arent horrible bindings, but they arent the safest, lets put it that way.  The one you posted is the Z-Race.  This is no good.  The very similar looking ZR-Race is still indemnified and fine to mount.  For how much longer, i dont know.
