Meh, second hand ski market is very patchy, the selection isn't great and different boot sizes might require binding remounting. Skis only last 100 or so days so cost/day is tiny compared to other ski expenses. You could save a few hundred dollars by buying second hand but then you have a big risk of injury from bindings not working properly. The time and effort looking second hand is a big factor too.
