Looking to buy new or in good condition candide 4.0s. With or without bindings. Will consider both. Hit me up on skis condition, size, and mounting point.

Have you skied the Candides? They were the most disappointing pair I skied all year

Really? how are they disappointing? What skis would you suggest instead? I'm looking for a fatter stompy solid ski with a jibby side. I was looking at the 4frnt yles and line mordecai.
 
In the skis defense I was able to demo some good skis and obviously our ski preference isn't unanimous, I don't even alpine ski other than demo. But the Candide 4.0 felt especially 'dead' to me, but they do make a nice sound when you throw 'em down. They're stompy. 122mm wasn't as impressive in deep snow as you'd expect. If I were to add a Candide to my arsenal I would go with the 2 or 3. Not saying the 4 isn't a great ski for most days, just didn't fall anywhere into my line of sight. The YLE would be my pick, maybe check out the JJ and Magic J. Hope you get the goods to test whatever you choose!
