Gear Trade Quality?

So I'm getting some Tyrolia/Head Peak 15s and I found some on Gear Trade in FAIR condition for 84 odd dollars. However, they're in fair condition and I don't know what that really entails. I can get NEW fully warrantied binders for 144 total.

Should I just spend the extra 60 bucks?

ask for a picture. you can send the bindings back if they don't look good or you see a problem with them when you get them. i buy from geartrade all the time

i bought some griffons from them in "fair-good" quality.
they had cosmetic scratches, a little wear in the toe and heel,
and a screw missing, which the shop took care of.

I bought some boots in fair condition. One of the buckles (fulltilt) came broken but other than that, they are fine

Check who is selling. if its backcountry.com then they always rate their gear really hard. For example, I just bought some griffons on there for 85 bucks. They said they were in fair condition but they came basically spotless. A lot of the stuff on there is in great condition. Hope that helps. I would buy the geartrade.
