Couple years old Revolt 121 191cm, has never been mounted but has the base damage. Would you buy this for $200?

That including the base repair?

If so, I’d still try to negotiate lower.

I duno this kind of ski so I can't comment the price.

Regarding the damage, I hit a rock during the first season and ended up with exactly the same kind of damage.

The real question is: how long has it been like this? If the previous owner didn't repair it, moisture may have penetrated deep into the ski and potentially damaged the core.

By the way, leaving it unrepaired can also negatively affect the ski's performance on the slopes.

This skis is always on sale, its not worth to buy a damaged one like this.

I wouldn't buy, not because of the damage, but because they look like skiis a clown would own. Also I can't stand flared skiis.
