Should I sell my skis or use them for a few years?

I mainly ski park causing my skis to chip and get more damaged than if I was just out on the mountain. I got a new pair of skis this year and I’m not sure if I should sell after this season so they have more resell value and are in better condition or use them for a few years and sell them for less. Lmk what you think I should do

Never sell them and keep buying new skis each year so you have the largest collection of skis.

You’re going to take a big hit to the value of the skis just by them being mounted and used for a season. I would say it’s best to stick with them for several seasons then sell them for a reasonable price if possible.

People try to sell used skis for way too much all the time and I don’t feel like they usually get a lot of interest .

And by reasonable price I mean nowhere near what you paid for them

Keep skiing them. Let them become rock skis. I have traveled a lot last few years and my parents would also get rid of skis without telling me. I wish I had a collection of my skis over the years. I have pretty much nothing between moving and parents giving old ones away. It sucks. Wish I had the skis I created memories with.

Don't buy skis with intent to resell them. Even in new condition the value just goes through the floor. Use your skis until they aren't useful any more or pass them on to a friend or grom who needs them when you're done with them.

Keep them!
Its good to have backup skis. You never know when you're going to need rock skis or if you have friends/family that need to borrow a pair of skis. Or if your current skis need to go into the shop you at least have other options.

Never sell your skis. The sentimental value is unmatched. I regret selling my first twin tips
