Ski 'trade in' sale, Nashua

[tcharron]

So...has anyone checked out the store yet?

I may stop by this weekend...my son claims he needs a larger pair of boots, and we did pick up a good deal on clothes when we went about this time a few years ago.

Hey Hammer, did you end up checking out the S Nashua shop? I went to the sale they had at Crotched, http://forums.alpinezone.com/63005-ski-swap-tent-sales-2009-2010-edition.html#post465484 was pretty much amazed that nearly every ski there was the SAME skis I saw at their sales and the swap LAST year. :-D

Don't get me wrong, I love Zimmerman's, was just hoping that there'd be some gems they'd be reselling from the trade-in sale they had.

Huh, I just checked out their website, and they upgraded the sale to include Jackets.

You can also trade in your old jackets!

That's right your old out dated neon Nevica jacket from 1984 is worth something to us. Just make sure it's clean and we'll give you a sweet deal on a new sweet jacket! These coats will be part of a cold clothing drive we are doing the entire month of November! un like the ski and board gear EVERY one of the jackets we take in between now and Thanksgiving will be donated to people in the Greater Nashua Area in need. So you'll be helping someone less fortunate and clearing out to make some space in your closet!

Thanks for the clarification Tcharron. I had no idea it had evolved into a monopoly for Zim's. I have no affiliation with them. I was just sharing that some NOS gear was offered there for good prices last year.
Building #19 also holds a ski sale in the fall that has great deals.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, honestly. To Zimmermans TOTAL credit, everything they've had there HAS been good deals, as opposed to the guys that used to come prior to the change, who where charging full retail for as much as they could. I CAN say I've gotten the distinct feel over the last two years of it being much less of a swap and much more of a sale, tho.

Do they do this sale every year? I know in Nashua they had it last year, and 3 years ago, wasn't sure if it was really an every year thing. I wanted to kick myself last year, they had a pair of Line Prophet's for like 90 bucks, I was on the wall, and came back like 2 hours later and they where gone.

They do it every year, but usually rotate it from store to store (i.e. one store has it one year, a different store has it the next).
