They've all been looked after and are genuinely in good/very good condition, never been abused or repaired.
Want to put them up for sale but really don't know what they are realistically worth?
Rossignol Bandit B1 (2008?)
Dynastar Exclusive (2013)
Rossignol Bandit B2 (2008?)
Fischer Progressor 700 (2011)
Rossignol Pursuit 16 Ti (2013)
Comments SVP.

I am afraid, @irie, probably not a lot.
Rossignol Bandit B1 (2008?) - £25
Dynastar Exclusive (2013) - £50
Rossignol Bandit B2 (2008?) - £25
Fischer Progressor 700 (2011) - £25
Rossignol Pursuit 16 Ti (2013) - £50
But who am I to say? eBay them with sensible enough reserves and you might get a nice surprise.

No way are B1 and B2 as recent as 2008 surely. Check whether the bindings on the older skis are still indemnified if not you shouldn't be selling them without explicitly highlighting the fact that they aren't (in good conscience) as purchaser will probably not find a shop that will work on them.
For the skis that might be considered as relatively current I think UANN is probably being a bit harsh as £70-100 is a reasonable target price if they have a half decent current binding. Bindings alone can be worth £30-50 if still current. Can see the Pursuits getting £75+ all day long.

Think that is rather proving the point - Bandits are nowhere near getting away at the aspirational prices being asked includbing the joker who keeps relisting the same pair at £80.

What does "still indemnified" mean?
The Bandits might be 2006 hence the "?" after the year.

That's the USA, does that also apply in Europe?
In any case I'll check the B1 and B2 bindings and post them here.

@irie, "indemnified" is - I believe - a rather American concept whereby the manufacturers publish lists of bindings that are still considered "safe". I.e. not so old that they are likely to not work.
My perception is that it is not taken nearly as seriously on the continent (I don't know of anyone who would pay any attention to it but my list of chums who are ski techs is not extensive and it's far too boring a thing to talk about) but certainly I don't think you'd find a US ski tech who'd touch a pair of bindings that are off the list and many UK won't.
I think bandits older than 2008 as well from a cursory search.

I suspect it's that insurance companies would be less likely to payout if you're skiing with bindings that aren't indemnified.

Nah it's a real thing - you'll struggle to find a decent tech like spyderjon who will want to work on your non indemnified binding because a) it'll be at least 10 years old and b) if you sue him for binding failure resulting in say a spiral tib fib fracture (or your insurance co does) his PII won't cover him.

You know it makes sense.

Sounds like it's a bit irrelevant as looking at that ebay link I think the OP might be better off making garden furniture out of them.

@irie, what colour are the Bandit B2's? The white ones finished in 2005-6 season and were replaced by the blue ones in 2006-7. The blue ones are foam core and may well have degraded to the point that they will snap. I wouldn't trust them anymore. The white ones were a true classic with a wood core that I would happily use as a rock ski even now.
The Pursuit 16Ti's are a very good ski that wasn't particularly popular because it's a pure piste ski but if they're a common length must surely be worth 100-150 to someone, especially if they have Axial bindings on. I preferred them to my Head Magnums!

@Dave of the Marmottes, Do the UK and EU legal systems allow for such a thing? - surely you'd first need to establish that the binding was at fault, which I can see being a rather difficult task, ex-post.

in any case I doubt anyone paying 50 quid for a semi-knackered pair of bandits is going to be spending money on ski shop techs, it'll be DIY so its all moot

They are only worth what anyone will pay - I was advised at a young age by an Austrian trainer "Never buy a ski who is old" - it costs so much these days to transport them I have been put off buying any since my last skis died about 5 or 6 years ago. I suppose it would be worth owning a pair if I were a regular at a fridge in this country or I had somewhere abroad to store them. These days it is usually no problem to hire decent kit in resort.
If it were me I would put them on a popular auction site without reserve but for the buyer to pay postage or collect in person as I personally would want to stop them cluttering up my house.

Yeah, that's what I've done in the past but I've made sure that my postage quote at least paid me £5 for the hassle of packaging them up and booking the collection.
