650/X-2 Opinion on buying 650sx

I have been looking for a ski to start riding again, and some guy just emailed me this.05231220289501.jpg
I think they could get bought for $1000.00. He says they run great. Both are 88's. One has a 750 head, but other than that, all stock. Worth it?
 
I saw those on CL the other day, but they didn't have a price on them. That's really not a bad deal, but depending on how big you are, I'd look for something with a few more HP. BTW, I saw a SN Superjet on CL down in Branson for $850.

Great price, especially if the trailer is included. Shouldn't be hard to flip a profit if you sell individually. In my area, each ski should fetch a minimum of $600-$1000 and the trailer $150-400. 650 is fun to ride, as long as you aren't spoiled by expecting better.

Buy it if you want a 650sx. Buy it if you want to risk trying to flip for a profit. Don't buy if you want something else. If it's not what you want, it's a waste of money at any price.

Personally, if I didn't own a ski, and those are both in good running condition, I'd buy them, sell one, sell the trailer, set aside the money to buy a different ski once bored. Biggest problem with an old ski is the maintenance can rape you.

I'm pulling apart my X2 to rebuild my SX. It's cheap and fast. I can't find a SXR at the right price. I'm tired of the X2. I enjoyed my SX when it ran, and now it will have a 750 with plenty of bolt ons. I don't agree with all the hate the SX gets. The newer stuff may be better, but the SX is still a good time.
