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

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

View attachment 1030102I'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.

how the fuck do people get so many years out of them to still be rocking oranges. I can't get more than two years out of 18s without breaking and I set my dins at 13

This 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
 
Probable 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.

That swivel heel problem is totally made up and is a dumbass conspiracy. In 5 years of riding pivots this shit hasnever been a problem
 
I just use them because of cast, but now I'm so comfortable with them that I'll prlly just stick with them until pivot 2 comes out next year. Could care less about colors

lmao..maybs it's cuz my pivots are from circa 2005. using pivots is def worth the investment. I don't think a pair of attacks could last 15ish years

It’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

idk 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

i own two pairs. hence how i found out firsthand they don't prevent knee injuries. will not be buying another pair anytime soon unless i find an absolutely screaming deal
 
To 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.

14391037:weastcoat said:
A whole paragraph written and he still didn’t give a valid reason for price gouging pivots.

The 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.
 
Yeah this is how I feel. If you don’t want kiwi 18’s for $350 or whatever that’s fine you don’t have to buy them lol some enthusiasts care enough to pay for that though

I threw my first pair of attacks 13s on my J’s this year, and have been happy with them especially for the price! No malfunctions or issues so far. Let the haters hate brutha??

Got 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.

A 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

dude there is a mom at my local who rides rossi GS skis from the mid 2000s and they have the black and gold p15s on them that are friggin MINT been thinking about making an offer
 
Def could low ball the peeps selling their race skis with fks and try to cop just the bindings...gotta look around the web a lil but can def find some for the same og price.

Or I could buy these and sell them each for $200

the only thing this thread has taught me is that i can actually get away with selling trashed pivots for a small fortune. highway robbery
 
There’s 2 separate 14s listed in B/S/T right now for $300 plus shipping. Both used. One used for 2 seasons one used for 1.5. Wtf? Pretty sure the MSRP of 14s is $330 and most places ship for feee.
