Blatant rip-off of thread title from another forum but might be an interesting one. I'll start:
Blizzard Titan 9 (181cm) used - about £120 off ebay
Look P18 Bindings new - £120 off ebay
Dynastar Arno Adam (188cm) used - free from ug - he found them in a skip in Chamonix!
Solly 997 bindings unused but you couldn't call them new - £25 (will replace nasty Markers on the Arnos) also from ug
Scott Jacket - £150
Still to buy:
Dynafit bindings
Dynafit compatible touring boots
Non-black ski trousers
(Some cash may be coming SMALLZOOKEEPER's way...)
edit: now bought:
Dynafit vertical st bindings
Scarpa Spirit 4 boots
Patagonia ski pants (off white)

New boots: Salomon Rush 8 to replace beginner-style boots
Helmet: Alpina Super G
Thermals: Falke 3/4 long johns, but these are also used for cycling
Will buy new gloves before Jan/Feb trip.
Not a big buy season for me, but last year was.
Edit: Forgot the SporTube. Excellent bit of kit, makes carrying skis a doddle.

3 new pairs of long johns (one pair of icebreaker ones and 2 pairs of S&R 3/4 ones) and 2 Helly Hanson tops (thermals with merino wool).
I also hope to buy some Oakley Wisdoms (Fire Iridiums for bright days to go with the Hi-Blues I bought a couple of years ago).
I was going to buy some new boots but can't bear to give up the ones I've been using for 14 years.

PM Gear Bro Model 179 Soft
Axial 2s for the above
Hestra army leather heli gloves
BD Bod harness
Tele Lynx shovel + tour probe

It has been an expensive summer/autumn but there we go. I've never had much luck fishing things out of skips - missed out on a monoski in Verbier earlier this year.
It'll be interesting to see how the Bros perform.

At long last I have replaced my 16 yr old Berhaus goretex, it's had some pretty hard use over the years. Just bought a Mountain Equipment Changabang, it'll do for skiing but the main use will be those frozen waterfall thingies in spring when they drip like buggery.

Then I fried the motherboard in my ibook.
I now have, new for this season, my own chalet company, a full face helmet and a MacBook.
Sometimes I'm sad and then I'm pretty happy again.
Must get up now the lifts are open.

Managed to pick up a Keela Gillet at less than half the original price..
Loads of Jackets if that's what you were looking for, but I wasn't.
