This forum hasn't been catering to the real kit nerds/hoarders such as myself so rather than moaning I have decided to do something about it. So let's post what new stuff we have for the season and what is on its way out. I'll kick off:
IN:
2 x Marker Duke bindings
Legend Pro XXL skis
Patagonia Stretch Element Jacket
(all bought for getting on for 50% off MSRP)
Probably some new "freerando" boots at some point
OUT:
Fritschi Freeride bindings off my Legend Pros
Lots of clothing that has been cluttering up my wardrobe
Atomic R11 boots - they have good servants but they are pretty nackered now

[- New all-mountain/occasional touring setup, 90+ish underfoot. Was planning on those BD Kilowatts and Freeride+. Would probably prefer Stockli DP Pros but feel they'd just be too heavy. Any thoughts?

as you may have surmised, I don't think weight is the main consideration for this kind of set-up

What's a Temptress? If I'm right in thinking what it is my advice would be to send one of them back; life just gets too complicated otherwise...

Ah, I see. I'm still wearing jeans for skiing on plastic and wondering what's best to use. I want something sturdy for when I fall, but not insulated (at least for summertime use).

IN:
New Telemark boots, will base decision on fit.
Bomber bishop telemark binders to go on Prophet 130s.
New pants. Probably Norrona 'cause they're loud and technical.
Some skis. Not sure yet, will be driven purely on price, min 95mm underfoot, 190cm long but would prefer something silly like a Pow-Spat-Plus or something like that...
Anything else that the dirtbag sale throws up on the cheap.
OUT:
Naxo NX21s.
Old pants. A sad day for me when I loose my fave orange pants...

Mrs T Bar has been telling me for ages that I need new trousers /salopettes trouble is being to close with my money means that I am trying to find them in the sales and have totally failed to find anything of decent quality that fits at a decent price. 
Quite fancy new skis but I know I shouldn't.
OUT
Two Old pairs of salopettes as waterproof as tissue paper
Sun Glasses I sat on
Boots, when the new ones become comfortable.
Beer Gut ( An unlikely disposal this one)
A- Frame (See above)

OUT;
Relying on pinching the test skis - its a long walk to the rental shop from my appartment, especially when I'm hung over
Technica boots - cobbled together last year from left overs, actually V comfy after a few adjustments (see, it can happen!!)
Bright yellow Rip Curl jacket - bargain from TK Maxx but was far too big. Made me look like I'd mugged an 8 foot crossing attendant.
IN;
Nordica Supercharger Enforcers 177s + Marker Dukes + Garmont Endorhins. Ski porn!!!!
Plug mould boots (model to be decided) with Inj liners. Keep myself busy.
A jacket that fits and doesn't act as a secondary light source.
A second job to cover the costs of the above.
More exercise in the inter-season to get fit - hello female seasonaires!!!
STAYING;
Pinching test skis from the rental shop; Scott Pures, Black Crow Corvus, Volkl Katanas. More ski porn!!!

Some pole guards are more useful than any special gloves and you don't need upper body armour.
