See if you can find some of last years (2012) domains on the internet in 159cm. A quick google search yielded me several sub $300 results.
But if you're really going after the cheapest available, go with Afterbangs, not Presses. You'll get sick of them before they ever break. Much better price point ski from what I've seen.
