Where to buy old ski models

So I'm looking for a new pair of skis to buy, preferably ON3Ps or something similar, but I'll take whatever I can get as a broke ass college student. People always tell me to just buy models from a few years ago, as they'll be about as good but significantly cheaper, which I'm very down with, but I can never find any old models (unused) for sale. Everywhere I look often have the old models on the site but are out of stock. Just wondering if anyone knows a place or site that is actually still selling old models or how to find them?

Instead of looking to buy "old models" look to buy "used." Almost every pair of my skis I bought second hand off of Craigslist.

I've seen skis being sold at places like Arc and Goodwill. Now, I'm not sure I trust them but they make a sweet wall piece and they were only 3 bucks

maybe start a 80s metal band in a garage and be called upon by a old guy so you pass a history test

It will be hard to find new old stock of smaller indie brands like on3p as I'm sure they'd much rather sell out of a set amount of skis then sit on pairs to sell at a discount.

Look for rossignol, k2, atomic, head, nordica etc.

You can usually find older k2 marksmans or poachers on the cheap cheap just because they made sooooo many of them.

Also sterbenz's stash and skiburger.com for 4frnt or moment blems/demo/prototypes and sometimes old stock

Older Moment Stock

New skis added routinely, you can also reach out via info@momentskis.com if you have a specific model in mind as we have some that simply haven't been added yet.

Here is a great place to start!

TGR also has a great buy/sell/trade marketplace. I also use sideline swap occasionally and Als ski barn usually has some older models. You can check out mainstream shops like EVO and Backcountry.com for some demos or last year models at a discount.


I also like goin to secondhand sports shops- buying used ski gear is great for the wallet and planet so don’t be afraid to buy used ski gear- just make sure it’s not too beat and usable.
