$50 is the cost of shipping... 100 is about the lowest you can get for used shipped skis.

I got a pair of 2010 Line Blends with bindings for $50 at a garage sale in pretty good condition. You just have to scout out the yard sales in rich neighborhoods with kids.

The referenced post has been removed.

Sorry if I came off that way.. I’m just trying to see if there’s any hidden gems on the internet or something I’m not really excepting much for $50 anyways.

There is one option I can think of to get brand new skis and bindings for 50. Go to Alibaba and order some mass produced Chinese ones. There probably will be some ridiculous minium order so the whole thing would cost more 50.but you could buy skis for 50 this way. Just a theory

for that cheap you'll need to be thinking craigslist, garage sales and the like, ski swaps, friends... sidelineswap.com?

It's legit, they've been around fro quite a while and seemingly have made a big push to ship skis internationally.
