Hi All
Quick question for you.....
How much would a pair of Salomon X-Wing Tornado TI skis be worth? 2009 model with Z14 bindings and three weeks use.
Simple as that really !

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Indeed 
Too much already or more to go on them? What are they actually worth?

Getting very close.
My '09 Head Magnums made £189 on the Bay this week as a guide.

^ +1. Good skis (better than the Magnums IMO), but that's about all you should pay now.

Interesting thanks for the input.
Do I try for the Tornado's or stick with my 2007 Crossmax V12's ?

^ Tornado a great plank.
Copes with most everything from pow to piste.

Mollerski, all a matter of opinion but I found the Tornado Ti (note the T= stiffer) handled my... er... density better than the Magnums, which I found a bit flappy. Stop me if I'm getting too technical.

andyph,
I'm 6'2" and 15st. The Magnums never flap coping with my 'mass'.

I've got the 2011 Tornado Ti Power Line model, fantastic skis! Before I bought, I also got to ski the 2009 model and they were great too..... I believe the 2009 are a slightly shorter radius than mine. Either way, both skis are a lot of fun and very energetic!
For 3 weeks use, the 2009 model looks like a good price to me (currently £201.80  )
Cheers

Griggs, Ebay has a 2010 X-Wing Tornado in 173 cms with Z12's for £150 buy-it-now. 10 days use, seems a decent deal.

You know it makes sense.

Many thanks for the heads up. Skis are actually X-Wing Storm's I think - it is the X-Wing Tornado TI's I'm after really.
Anyway the one's on Ebay went for over £ 260.00 in the end which was out of my price band for used skis. Looks as though the trusty Crossmax V12's live to fight another season. Not all bad really as I do have a real soft spot for them. Felt slightly disloyal looking for something to replace them to be honest.

Many thanks for the excellent heads up. Deal has been done and I will soon be taking delivery of some 2011 X Wing Tornado TI's. Very excited. Trip to Tignes looming on the horizon as well. All good stuff.

if you were getting a ski upgrade from Tornado 08/09 model would you go for 2011 model or something different?

Enduro XT800. More or less the same ski with an early rise tip.

I'd go out to a resort where you can hire the latest skis and try the new Enduro's plus other similar skis like the Magnums. That's what I did when I bought my Tornados a few years ago. I was lucky though and skied the black skis above 1 year before they were released - the hire shop just happened to have a pair on test and let me have them for a couple of days. When I took them out, I wasn't exactly sure what skis they were because all the research i'd done never showed a pair of black Tornados! Didn't matter, they were fantastic to ski on! I then had to wait to buy a pair.
Cheers
