What to do with Atomic Punx and Atomic FFG14 Bindings?

I have the 2012 Atomic Punx size 164 with the 2012 Atomic FFG 14 Team Bindings, mounted dead center. I beat the skis to death last year, but they held up well. I am now stuck deciding what I should do with the fuckers. The bases are scratched up, and there's a tear in the base on one ski. The edges held up well with only some minor chips. Would anyone buy the skis with bindings? Maybe just the bindings? HMU with offers, but don't say just keep em to mess around on, cuz I already got a pair of Afterbangs to use for that.

I'm sure they'll sell dude. Just get the bases repaired and you're good to go!

I dont know how many kids want a 164 ski with a 14 din binding. But just post up a ad and if they want one or the other separate them.

go to your local shop and get the bases ptexed and then if theres no edge dings there perfect for a backup pair of rock skis, and that way if you need to get your new skis tuned or fixed you don't have to stop skiing that week there in the shop

Someone would but them but not for much. Maybe just donate to a local ski swap. I often do that with old skis that are to small or unwanted. You probably won't make much and wont have to do any work selling them. Just a thought.

You could Definately sell the ffgs for a good amount. Depends on what condition. I would put them up on bst here and say you are willing to separate. You will get much more money than at a swap since the swap usually takes a percentage of the profit.

I was guessing that they were in not to good of shape and most people that ski are not to worried about that kind of money. But that also depends on the person so I would suggest making a thread in Sell and trade if trying to sell but do whatever your little heart desires

Your options are:
1. Sell the entire setup.
2. Sell the skis and keep the bindings for your next pair.
3. Sell the bindings for more money, be stuck with a shitty pair of skis no one will buy.
4. Keep the setup and use it for skiing early season with no base/home rail setups.
5. Throw the entire thing in the ocean and quit skiing forever.
