Did I get a good deal on these Line Invaders?

hey guys,

Just got some 07-08 Line Invaders locally off craigslist. I just found out about this site and wanted to see if I got a good deal or not.

Click for larger image

paid $90 they are 171's and seem to be in pretty good condition. There is nothing wrong with the edges besides being a little dull which i think a simple sharpening would fix. The bases seem to be in great shape with just a few scratches from normal use.

I have seen some other Invaders with pink bottoms, mine are yellow bottoms with the pink LINE logo. Does anyone know what the difference here is?

Thanks

Seems like a pretty decent deal, with the exception that those Bindings (Marker M.10 Free) at terrible. But, the skis (if are in good condition) are pretty good for under $100.

My friend had them and blew them up landing switch off a knoll...but he might have out weighed them, but most people who ride park really shouldn't be riding with anything under a 12 DIN binding (I'm not saying to ride you DIN at 12, I mean, the max DIN on the binding is 12).

Great deal minus the (in my opinion) shitty bindings which in my mind take the value down because they waste a mount. But I would have done it.

Yeah, his kept having brake issues, then he said "to hell with it" and ripped the brakes off (like without a screwdriver...way to easy) and then after a few days the toe piece was no longer 1 piece, but 4...
