Meh...if you want to practice mounting your bindings yourself, or if you have a pair of rock skis that need bindings, they might be worth something.

In terms of monetary value, I don't think there is much demand for a 10 DIN binding, regardless of whether it is a turntable heel or not.

what about those junior groms that are all on the fks hype train.  they don't need a din up to 12.

could be friendly to pass a good deal on, instead of trying to flip and make a buck of this community...

decent deal. lots of people can use a 10din no problem. the majority of people on this site probably dont ride above an 8 so the 10din will sell. but i hope you dont intend on sellin them here because now you cant get more than 40 for em.

Your other option would be to disassemble them and either put a different spring in them or put some washers on the spring to add more tension if you wanted to get sketchy with things.
