            The poles we bought last year turned out to be too short once we skied with them for a while...   Rather than toss 'em, I wondered if someone else would buy them.
What's a decent price (they're low-end aluminum poles)?  I was thinking in the neighborhood of $8-$10/pair.  Is that something that people would even buy?

People buy and sell poles at swaps all the time.   Mind you, the going price for Al poles is usually around $5 unless they have super-sweet grips or designer straps or velvet or leather wraps. 
CF poles usually go for a bit more but not much.
