The Ski Rental Problem
The second-hand market is a bit of a mess unless you're comparing among the most popular skis. The depreciation is also brutally steep.
You can avoid the depreciation issue with old skis, but that comes with other problems.

Ski swaps are a great place for second hand or almost second hand. I’ve been to many where the local ski shops dump their old inventory. You get pretty much pristine gear for a fraction of the price.
