What’s the deal with the super high pivot market rn?

QuaggySorry OP, I can't hear you over all these orange bindings I've purchased

I'm guilty of paying a lil' extra for some orange FKS bindings because when I was growing up, I was too poor to afford 'em... I would look at the guys in their OG Saga kits with their orange FKS bindings and reflective goggles in envy.
Now that I can afford cool things, I'm willing to pay an extra $50 or whatever for that piece of nostalgia.

Skier_boi616Just get attacks ir griffins they’re way cheaper

isaacwrongThis is fax...loved my pivots but am using some old af attacks this year, perks are not having to deal with the swivel heel everytime you hike

RudyGarmischProbable NS News in 10 years;

Orange Pivot futures are down in after hours trading while the NFT of Tanner Hall screaming at X Games is up, in part due to Simon Dumonts unexpected return and announcement of joining the new FIS comp category ‘Ski Swerve-Ballet’ that’s taking social channels TikTok and iCantBelieveitsoMeta by storm.

hdubsThat swivel heel problem is totally made up and is a dumbass conspiracy. In 5 years of riding pivots this shit hasnever been a problem

weastcoatIt’s just frustrating seeing him post shit for so high when snowshare is meant to be a deal page not a money-grab page. I know people who have slid up and said hey man why so high? And his reasoning is “well this is for kids who can’t afford retail pivots”. Doesn’t make much sense, cause I’m “those kids” I just deal hunt until I find the right price. Also annoys me when prices on certain pairs are bumped just cause they’re white or orange or whatever. I think it runs the market up because (understandably) people no longer want to sell theirs for the low when they see shit like this happening. Dan is completely right there’s some absolute damn steals and we don’t all see them but it’s becoming way less common

weastcoatMost og skis and bindings of all time. Do not ever sell those fly sheets.

BubbleBuddyidk why all the pivot whores are paying an arm and a leg for some dildo bindings that a: don't prevent knee injuries like half of you think they do and b: the cool paint job will just chip off within a season anyway. i don't get the hype. i'll be having the last laugh when i'm already halfway down the run getting face shots on a pow day while you're hundreds of dollars poorer still trying to line up the heel piece to click in. unless you buy them to use with cast there's literally zero advantage

jompcocknon pivot cope

weastcoatA whole paragraph written and he still didn’t give a valid reason for price gouging pivots.

DesertStixTo be fair I just don’t think we’re the target demographic for his $275 “refurbished” P14’s. I think dude legitimately prides himself in being the “pivot plug” he helped me find a single toe piece for $20 off eBay (wasn’t his sale) so he’s not only out there to rip people off.

dwt802The homie is legit just stoked as fuck on the bindings and wants to make a lil side hustle while at it and still helping the homies out. He also offers to give you money back if any of the pivots he sells have problems, again a homie move.

AwelteregoHe do be on IG like

EasyJumboGot a pair of attack 13, 100 bucks they do their job just fine if you don't hit 60ft jumps and land sketchy switch, everything else is just marketing.

ColoradoDogfartThrow back to this 2bi4 clown tryna sell me a SINGULAR heel(no brake just dildo) for 80$ 😐

isaacwrongA lot of work into getting these things…aka scouring the internet for rossignol gs/race skis with pivots for cheap because the owners don’t know how much people on ns are willing to pay
