Dumpster diving for skis

[Voyage86]

so i’ll give this ski as an example because it’s what i’m looking at right now and trying to snipe a deal on. the faction mana 3, specifically last years model (which i don’t like, im going for this years model) is all over the internet on dozens of websites for crazy sales. like 50% off or more msrp. i just can’t imagine all these skis are going to be bought up if they haven’t been already. so where are they gana go? they probably won’t even post them for sale next season. do they throw them away? ship em to china? lmk, thanks.

The wholesalers send them to liquidation outlets places like sierra.com and others. The retail shops that have one or two pair probably just give them to employees and friends and stuff for nothing or at cost or whatever. Perhaps raffle prizes and such as well that way the expense could probably be written off.

The-house.com used to I think but it changed hands last year and sucks now. Search around a bit online? Check sierra.com frequently as they do have factions, had mana 2s?, I think, for $200 recently.
