Winter's nearing and here in Park City, the annual Ski Swap went off just this weekend with a ridiculous selection of items. I picked up:

A Brand new Orage Boris Jacket for $125

Brand new Amplid C7's for $275

A bern hard hat for $30

and the 1st place prize goes to the

Line Afterbangs for $60

Anyone else having success picking up some new gear for beat the bank prices?

im sold skis that were categorized as"parabolic" , but really they werent even shaped, they just had 'modern" looking graphics (the ski swap did not allow the sale of straight skis)
sold 4 of them for 40 bucks apiece, and sold toddler skis for 20 bucks

some kid on the ski team took off the tag (along with a few other items) and tried hiding them in the back, then some guy found out and was putting all the stuff back. I grabbed them before he even put the tag on them with the absolutely ridiculous price.. so stoked
