Here are a couple great places to find snowboard gear for cheap!
I’ve had a few emails from people asking for tips on how to find cheap snowboard gear, so here’s a couple places I recommend checking out.
1) Whiskey Militia
WhiskeyMilitia.com is an online shopping website for action sports gear with one major difference, they only sell one item at a time for a short period of time.
Items are usually available for 1 day or until it runs out of stock and each item is usually discounted for up to 75%+ off.
There’s not really a huge variety of colors and sizes, but you’ll be hard pressed to find these items cheaper anywhere else.
How do they manage to provide such cheap deals?
They bulk buy unwanted leftover stock from manufacturers and suppliers. This means they can sell it for insanely cheap prices and still make a profit.
If you’re hunting for cheap gear, I do recommend you sign up for their daily alerts email which lets you know what product they’ll be selling next.
2) eBay
Unlike what many people think, eBay.com isn’t just for second hand items. There’s thousands upon thousands of sellers who have setup stores selling brand new goods for cheaper than retail store prices.
eBay has become a huge collection of smaller online stores that sell products for every category. You can find jackets, goggles and loads of other snowboard gear for a fraction of the cost that you’d pay at a regular store.
What’s the catch you ask?
No catch. They can provide these cheap prices because they buy in bulk and don’t have to pay any rent fees for shop space. Most sellers operate from their own homes or warehouses.
The only thing I’d look out for on eBay is to be careful of sellers from Hong Kong or Taiwan. You don’t want to get fooled by cheap chinese knockoff products.
Always check the sellers feedback and their previous transactions to make sure their past buyers have been happy. The more positive feedback they have, the more you can be sure they are reliable sellers.
Good luck and happy shopping!
