So I'm 17 years old,I have 65Kg (140 pounds), I'm 181cm (5.9 feet) high, and I'm looking for used skis to ski the streets in Austria and my backyard setup that I'm going to build soon.
Already found two offers:
1) Rossignol Scratch 182cm:, used about 15 times in 4 years only.

I know nothing about this ski. Is it more soft and playful or rather stiff for big jumps etc.?
It comes with a Marker Free 11 Binding, not center mounted
Price is 40€ (50 Dollars)

2) Fischer Addict in 172 cm: used 10 times, price 90€ (114 Dollars)
comes with an unknown binding, also not center mounted I think

Does anyone know anything about these models and could recommend one of them to me?

For 40euros with bindings those Rossi are a steel. If it is not for mountain use it really does not matter what you get. it just wants to be cheap as you will trash them so I don't think you will find a better option then those.

That is a horrible reason to buy a ski.

But the domains or any k2 would work well, but I would go with those rossis you have an offer for.

Alright I think I'll buy them then. Do you think the lenght is going to be a problem?
For mountain use I already have a pair of Line Blends, so I will not use them for anything else than urban.
I'm just a bit sceptical because of the low price, I hope that this guy is not going to send me an empty package or something like that.

Size should be ok. You would prob be better on a 176 but they are so cheap. Can you not go pick them up in person?

I could, but it would be a 2 1/2 hour car drive from my hometown, and I don't have a driver's license.
But somehow the guy who sells the skis isn't responding anymore, so maybe I'll have to get the fischers anyway.
