know nothing about skiing...

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 16:01:00 GMT

Hello everyone,
First off the only thing I know about skiing is it can hurt when you fall. Besides that , I havent had the urge to ski since I blew a knee...power kiting, and I'm 52 yr. old.
Anyway, I got these skis in a auction...they came with a bunch of other stuff I wanted. Have no idea how much I should sell them for. They are skis that have NEVER been used, no bindings on them. They are KARHU Sprint TR 51.49.50 170cm. Then on the backside there is a sticker that says KARHU Sprint NOWAX along with a bunch of numbers and bar codes. I have two pair of these things. Can anyone give me an idea of how much I could get out of them?
Thanks,
Dano
Tiffin, OH

Sorry bbdano but I don't think you will get much for these.
I did a search, never having heard of them, and it looks like they are very low budget nordic or cross country skis.
Someone was selling them for $29 (US).
Where do you live?
Location might help you get a bit back for them, but I doubt there is much market for something like this.

Just place them on e-bay and see what they will go for.

Like Bandit,,I am trying to gain a degree in skiing !

Still learning more and more,,thus realizing that I know so little about this sport !

As far as skis,,,yes they are cross country skis. There is a "slight" difference between alpine and cross country skis ! You fall more on alpine skis !!!

Hope you continue on your "education" of skiing in all its manifestations !

Respectfully,
Pavel
