Feeler: Garmont G-Ride/G-Fit boots

I'm putting a feeler out there for these. I have a pair of 2006/07 26.5 in great shape, no broken parts or cut shells, but I am thinking about upgrading to something that I can replace both these and my 10 year old Atomic boots. I've skiied everywhere and everything with these boots: Mt. Washington, Jay peak, Bolton BC, Doublehead, and even a few days in Colorado. Would there be any interest in these if they were, say, $200?

Go cheaper. They're not too popular of a boot as far I can tell. They kind of fall in an awkward place when it comes to AT boots. Not stiff enough to be a freeride boot, but no dynafit compatibility to be a light weight touring boot. Go to $150 and throw them up on TGR. Or just go to Ebay and you can probably get $200.

I gotta disagree. $200 is a really good price for these books if they are in excellent condition. Just fine for someone that doesn't need beef or Dynafit compatibility. This market is obviously diminishing rapidly but a half dozen years ago, the G-Ride was one of the best non-Dynafit compatible boots on the market prior to the beef boom. Still a viable option for those who prefer a middle option, especially at less than half the ticket price.

They are in good shape and do ski well for a general BC boot so I think I might stay with the $200 end of the range. I'm going to check at my shop to see what I can line up for new kicks. Thanks, guys.
