Since we all comb over various local areas of craigslist, KSL, other such sites looking for deals, I thought this might be a good idea to have as a thread for when you see a good deal that's not what you're looking for but someone else might want, I've been combing through KSL looking for a good deal on some skis for my gf, and saw these but they're too tall for her

https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/54033254 (armada arv 106 2018 w/pivots for 199)

Meant to put this in gear gabber, can a mod move it please?

SofaKingSickArmada (who makes high quality outerwear in my experience) bib pants, $140 rather than $280 msrp. S, M, L available in black, indigo, khaki, and S, M, L, or XL in olive

https://www.levelninesports.com/armada-emmons-3l-bib-2023/?xnpe_tifc=4IQLbfxJxIbZbDPNxfxdbjpsafeWaeiWhFW9Vue8VdicRkecakicnkEAbfs3tu4vaMXXxdxJ4InpOf4.bunpxdHp&utm_source=bloomreach&utm_campaign=Armada%20Apparel%204/3/23&utm_medium=email



Level 9 usually has some very solid late season/ summer sales on Armada outerwear. Just depends on if you want to risk what you want getting sold to someone else before then. I try to get my christmas shopping done in July with them, haven't struck out yet.

Majesty Rogue 20/21, 170cm for 200 bucks. should be able to get free shipping with it.

120/100/115. I don't know anything about this ski, but people seem to like the brand well enough.

I think the graphics are decent, simple.

Anyone want a pair of roughly 15 year old used or demo Scott P4’s (which, arguably, were a great ski at the time) with bindings that no shop will service because they’re 15 years old, for the low low price of 500.00? It’s a steeeeal

https://www.geartrade.com/item/874643/ninthward-rds-skis-mens#







marked down to 201.39 before shipping and taxes. 194cm. probably made in like what... 2013-2016?

its a decent deal, seems like the 9thward stuff on geartrade is mostly still in plastic brand new stuff.

plus, buying them at this low price is the most ninthward move of all.

https://www.geartrade.com/item/874641/ninthward-early-rise-skis-mens



the 9thward skis from like 2010-2013 are now all sub 200. if you're smart and sign up with a new account you can get an additional 15% off, so with shipping and tax the skis are roughly 200 on gear trade. I was very tempted, but then scored a pair of 2010 Bent chetlers off of FB marketplace with bindings for 40 bucks, so i'm good in terms of a 140-120-140 rough dimensions ski.



if you're patient I bet they'll go down some more, but probably just a few bucks.

It’s a 2015/16 ski so I’d assume the bindings were old too. Wouldn’t use them, more just curious what the original mount was

2015 isn't that old but I'd go for it. $20 is a steal. Worst case just remount em with a paper jig.

Those are just the AAAtacks, first gen attacks. I bought a pair of skis with them but didn’t check the afds. Shop said they’d mount them but since the afd piece was snapped they couldn’t.

They're just sitting in my basement because it’s so damn hard to find it. They are real burly, 16 din I believe too.

Ok, so my RDS deep deep discount skis finally got here from gear trader.

seem like they’re in essentially brand new condition- no shrink wrap and some dust, but otherwise no wear. Seem actually surprisingly soft, I was expecting a bit more backbone to them, but I’m sure they’ll still be fun. About 192.5cm when measured tip to tail, but realistically it’s like 145cm actually touching the snow with the long rocker on both the top and tail.

Construction seems decent, only surprise on my end is the tiny ‘made in China’ sticker on the bottom- I had thought this model was made in the neversummer factory in the states, but it could be that this length was a test model, something that didn’t make it into their regular run, or it’s just the case that ninthward was all over the place and wasn’t consistent with any of their production or manufacturers.

im not too worried about the made in China aspect- for around 150 for a nice fat pair of skis and another 30ish for a pair of unused warden bindings, I can mount these myself and get my moneys worth.

looks like they still have the early rise model at gear trade, but fair warning- could very well be another ‘made in China’ pair.
