The OFFICIAL Thrift Store SCORE! Thread

**bossass** · 03-03-2008, 08:52 PM

Raichle Flexon Comps, the neon green and purple ones. Really good condition. $8.

Pull out the stock liner, drop in some intuitions, pop on some booster straps (the one thing missing was the power straps, no biggie), and I got's me some cheap Full Tilts.

Trangia 27-6 UL with all pieces $20 AUD ($18 USD)

I love going to thrift store

**altaski85** · 03-03-2008, 10:52 PM

4 bucks for any vest isn't bad, but what's the benefit of a goretex vest? Anyone wanna explain this one to me?

**taz** · 03-03-2008, 11:23 PM

Because don't you ever wake up in the morning and say "my chest is so cold and wet, but my arms are so hot and dry, what should I wear today?"

Second wind used to be dope, but it ain't a thrift store...[nor is their pricing...]

When I was in Bozeman I found a number of nice bindings at the Salvation Army. I miss that place.

**123ski** · 03-04-2008, 06:15 PM

I found these this week

**Beatdown** · 03-05-2008, 02:57 AM

Saved these bad boys from death by dumpster sometime last fall. Initially I just wanted the driver toe shims for the bindings. A couple weeks ago, after a week of sun, no snow, and high freezing levels, I busted them out for a few runs just for shits and giggles, and ended up skiing them for the whole weekend!

Having never ridden a ski this skinny or long before, I was surprised by how stable these were (they're 200cm and damn stiff). After a couple runs I was maching down icy groomers faster than I've ever done before, and these things carve huge turns like a mofo - they do in fact have a tiny bit of sidecut. I think I might actually use these on hardpack days.

Somehow I'm a... skinny ski convert?

Even I fit into vests...and I don't fit in shit.

Intuition liners - Three bones.

Molding them now. Photos in a jiffy.

Got three superfeet insoles for $10. Threw 'em in my Head Ti97's. Near agony, but I've never skied better.

And I'll take a moment to babble about how fn wonderfully Intuitions are. Prior to picking these up, I had no personal experience with them. Done my research tho, and baked 'em up for my Flexons. I was impressed with how they fluff up in the oven. Got 'em in (I used grocery store plastic bags to facilitate insertion, only got a little peel-age). Gave them plenty of time to set up, took them off, off with the toe socks, foot back in. Holy crap, amazing. I can't wait to ski in them.

That has to be the best looking mini-maggot I've seen. I LOVE THE SHIRT!!!

I'm wearing my Flower Shirt next time I go skiing. Anyone gives me a snicker I'll tell 'em Owen is setting the fashion, get with the program!

**SkiOrDie** · 03-09-2008, 01:28 PM

Head Standards on the far left of the photo - $45 - eBay. Best so far. These aren't long enough, still looking for some 215s.
