The FREE SKI STUFF thread!

Or other stuff! Doesn't have to just be ski stuff.

Maximumsushi was talking to me earlier and said he was going to give some of his old outerwear away to stoke some kids up. Who doesn't like free stuff, especially when you're hurting for it? We've all been there, "I need new pants but I can't afford it right now". So the idea emerged, post a thread where members pm their shipping info to you and paypal you the shipping cost (or beer), and hook up one of them at random with free gear!

Rules in this thread (mostly based on karma... don't be a dick)

1. No dibs! Who gets the stuff is selected at random or at the owner's discretion. After all it is their free stuff to give away.

2. If you're giving something away, say where you're from area-wise so people can ballpark the shipping.

3. No one probably wants your 6 year old kombi gloves with the hole in them. Not that we don't appreciate the gesture.

4. Most importantly of all, don't lay claim to something you really don't need! If someone's giving away some Siver pants and you have 2 suits of outerwear already, leave it for the kid who's using beat up leaky pants from 3 seasons ago.

So... Post things you don't need anymore that other people might want!

honestly, they're $8-$9 each in any store i go into.  it's the most i can fit in this box i have so that's why it's only three.  just throwing it out there for kids who aren't awesome and don't have beards.

Lange Boots: seahorse5

Burton pants: PENCILSTEEZJIMMY

I dunno. I guess you could send a postal money order. But really I'd prefer you just paypal the shipping. It shouldn't be expensive and it's not hard to get paypal.

well I have it, but I don't feel like linking it to my bank account and whatnot. Is there a way to send money without linking to anything?

Fuck you.

Here you are asking for goggles and at the same time, you are posting in the 07/08 setup thread with this picture:

MINUS karma to you, and next time, use your brain you greedy bastard.

I've got some 29.5 Salomon X-Scream boots sitting around unused.  I would be willing to let them go if you paid shipping, i'll toss in a Salomon boot bag.  I don't need these boots anymore.  Let me know.

it's funny when, on multiple page threads, you can tell which people didn't take the time to read the whole thread. not that none of us aren't guilty of doing that at some point, but i still laugh. in this case people are still asking for the free stuff when it has been given away already.

I just bought a pair of goggles, I'm still waiting on them. As long as the kid actually sent them, you can have my old pair. They are Scotts, and I'm pretty sure they have an amber lens. So as soon as I get them in the mail, I will let you know.
