How much does a previous drill reduce a skis value?

Let's say you have two identical skis, both brand new. One has been drilled for a binding already and the other hasn't. How much less should the drilled ski be worth?

at least $100-$200 less i would think on top of the already cheaper price cuz resale on skis rly just isn’t that good even if they’re still in the plastic or unused, etc.

If its only been drilled once you'll probably lose 100-150$ id say. Once she's been drilled 3+ times, then you'll lose almost all of its value.

Depends on the ski because unfortunately there’s bro tax on a lot of stuff. Super high demand skis with one mount can probably scrape by if they’re 100-150 less than MAP but if we’re talking about some white bread ass Volkl or Nordica you’re gonna have to knock a few more beans off of it IMO.

Also depends on where the mount is and where you plan to mount.

Like @animator said, really depends on how desirable/hard to find the ski is. With exception, probably by ~50% tbh; if you can already find most any ski brand new at a shop (in person or online) for $100 less than suggested price, why pay the same for a previously drilled one?
