Bargain hunter happiness thread

What gear have you copped during the offseason that you'd never otherwise be able to afford at retail price? What have you added to your stash for a fraction of its normal cost that you can't wait to bring out at the first snowfall?

Let us convene in this space and celebrate the joys of saving a buck.

I snagged an Arc'Teryx Beta LT Hybrid jacket at an REI garage sale for $60. Retailed for $280. Biggest coup of the offseason. Gore-Tex as light as a potato chip bag (and loud as one too, but not complaining).

Ride Anthem BOA boots for $100. Not amazing but respectable.

Oakley Airbrake goggles with two lenses for $100. Brand new, they were used in a product photo shoot. Also REI I think, via eBay.

Had a couple of amazing thrift store come-ups at the end of last season, got to wear them on the mountain a few times. $10 Columbia parka that became my cold as fuck snowboard jacket. $20 Army ECWCS parka that I took on my first CO trip. Held me down lovely on a freezing A-Basin day.

WHATCH'ALL GOT?
