matching your headphones to your gloves gets very expensive. 

all those tall T's add up.especially if you have more then one.

i just work all summer long and save my money up the entire time. if you really love skiing then its not that hard to set the money aside and then when winter comes i take it off from work so i can ride without any distractions its a nice way. if you try this be sure to ration your money well!

I spend alot of money on skiing, this year I'm coaching so I have a decent source of income, but it is still expensive, I'm riding skis from 3 years ago, my boots are 4 years old, as are my goggles, and helmet, but I usually just use sales to get what I need, and I know some people so I can get deals sometimes.

It is a combination of:

1) People putting value in new gear over other needs

2) People are poor money managers

do what i do bro. Go to a store that you can find cheap but good goggles in such as tj maxx and buy the SPY and ANON ones that they have in the beginning of the season, and then go to school and sell them for more but not too high. Just tell ur friends you get them from your cousin who has too many of them and needs to sell them for cheaper. I bought $35 SPY goggles and sold them for $100. dude thats crazy but it works when you got only rich people in your town who dont bother going to stores such as tj maxx where they have dope deals. You can buy tall tees for like 10 bucks. well they're not really tall tees they're just oversized t-shirts. Im tellin u. its a good business just dont let the teachers find out what your doing.

Did you need to ask?

A lot of people have or had jobs. They used all their money from their jobs and now need more, so they sell stuff on here.

Orrr, they could have had a load of holiday/birthday money saved up from several years..

theres a bunch of ways:
-im sure lots of kids mooch off their parents
-working a shit load. thats the easiest way
-work a shit load and also save your money for skiing rather than buying other shit

its actually pretty easy to buy things you want when you work a lot. try it
