So I have been looking at masterminds on craigslist and it looks almost like too good of a deal....
Think these are stolen?
the guy said he would let a 2015 pair of masterminds and marker griffon demo (maybe schizo?) bindings go for $100.

Well... Seeing as the masterminds are one of the crappiest skis on the market (in terms of durability). I don't think they are stolen.

Are they brand new? Are the markers also from 2015?

Ad didn't say
He said that he is a snowboarder who tried skiing, and now wants to sell.
When I asked him where he got the set up, he said "from a friend who rides for the company"

There is such thing as demo fleets that get given out to riders as a backup pair/ extra gear when the demos are done. Sure it may seem ridiculous pricing but I've seen folks part with next years gear at stupid low prices because they're poor or didn't have a use for it. I mean shit dude if you're really worried buy em and sell em to a gaper for 225 lol

That is probably more than Next Adventure will buy them for. Good chance he just wants to sell them for more than they will give him in credit. I don't think the market for used skis is good for sellers here in Oregon. The only time I tried to sell skis on craigs list I got like two low ball offers that were less than Next Adventure. The skis ended up being worth more to me as rock skis than I could sell them for.
