New old equipment
Hello folks,
Does anyone know where you can buy equipment that is not this year's model but still new? Usually current models are prohibitively expensive. I have grown out of my equipment and I am poor. Nevertheless it would be nice to have boots on the rare occasion I can scrape together some cash for skis and a mountain pass. Thanks, greg |

It seems like every store selling ski stuff that I've been in this fall has at least some items from last year, or the year before, or older. Last winter I bought 3 year old but brand new in box boots, $375 boots for $100. Lisa |

Our local ski shop has a "back room". I love the back room. I shop there a lot. -- Marty Ask where the back room is |

I can't say I like to go there very much, but since I have to spend several months a year there anyway because of my job, I take the opportunity to buy ski gear at bargain prices. Next time you pass through "Summer" pick up some skis. -- //-Walt // // There is no Volkl Conspiracy |

My one experience with them was very good, hence my recommendation. I see
that they are no longer registered with e-bay. John Cupolo isn't cheap. nor reputable. your lucky if you get what you ordered this year, if et al. Read their feedback on E-Bay. |

Next time you pass through "Summer" pick up some skis. We must live close to each other. Within a parsec. Probably the same hemisphere. I also shop at summer. got a great deal on some Volkl 6 stars. Welcome to the Conspiracy. Make sure you don't tell anybody about it. -- // Walt // // There is no Volkl Conspiracy |
