These have two seasons of use. They've got the usual wear and tear - divots from the cant/lift screws, the black finish is worn in spots, etc - but plenty of life left in these bindings. Allen wrenches plus extra mounting hardware included. $145 or best offer plus shipping from Oregon. Locals, can arrange for you to check 'em out first on request.

The marks on the 2nd disc are not cracks, it's just where the finish scratched / rubbed off:

I'm interested, but what's the difference between short-plates and long-plates? boot size?

Catek recommends short plates for anyone who is 180 pounds or under and has a size 28.0 boot or smaller, and a long plate for everyone else. The long plate is thicker too and thus a little stiffer, for the heavier rider. The short plates are by no means weak or flexy though. They're beefy bindings, and while they show cosmetic wear, I've seen no evidence of metal fatigue or anything like that in the two years I've had them.
