Mounted 3 times already. And the idiot seller told me to piss off when I told him to correctly list his item. Can you even mount skis a 4th time at any shops? Ntm they aren't even rockered skis.

oh, and he says they've been mounted a few times....

Always sweeping ebay on my off time. Decided to call out the dude for his listing. He told me he was going to report me to ebay. I told him id kill him... jk. I told him to go ahead and when ebay contacted me I'd explain I was trying to clear up an incorrect item description.  Rockered... Ninthward started those like last year. These skis are rocked because there is zero camber. What a d-bag of a seller(He has a hige store too).

Agreed, but how can you sell skis that no one can mount with a no returns policy. This seller really pissed me off today. Taking out all my frustration from finals on this a**hole.

No, I work at a shop and we can't legally mount more than 3 times. The only thing you could do is use the same bindings or bindings that line up to the same hole pattern from the jig. That would be next to impossible considering the age of these skis. Fuck this guy, Get money

ide be hesitant to mount even three times. Especially if theyre all center all regular etc. its like putting a perforated edge in your ski. Did it once on a pair of stl's in great shape, they cracked in half second day just straight airing a jump and landing normally haha. Moral of the story, no you cannot mount more than three times and Ide be careful even mounting three times. Kid sounds like a tard.
