I'm a private individual selling my own equipment...
I have a lot of cross country skis, as well as many boots and poles. Many have only been used a few times and are in near-new condition, some are older.... but all are fully functional. A few are completely new.
They are all name brand good equipment: Rossignol, Trak, Peltonen, Jarvinen, Karhu, Kneissl, Fischer, Madshus, Alpina, Atomic, L. L. Bean. Some of the boots still have their original boxes.
I've been an x-c skier for 40 years, and have accumulated some good equipment -- too much to keep. Also, friends and family have gotten out of the sport and I've ended up with their good equipment - sometimes things I had advised them to buy... so they were new and only used briefly.
There are x-country skis that are 210 in length, and down to 150, and many boots in a wide variety of sizes, for different bindings. I've always found that sizing with boots really depends on actual fit, plus how much extra padding you're comfortable with, and the thickness of socks you like to wear.
Because I have such a variety of x-country ski equipment, and there are 4 different main types of xc bindings (three pin, salomon, SNS profil and NNN), it doesn't make sense for me to post pictures. Almost all skis are waxless [no need to wax... easy to manage in a variety of snow conditions]. I have some ski bags, too. But just ask me if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you need a whole set of equipment, or just one component to complete your set... please call and leave your phone number [our number is 86 oh - Five 13 - 12 three 2 -- just avoiding spam calls].
I'm not likely to sell just boots [unless you're looking for boots for kids], but I might sell some of the skis separately.
If you tell me your shoe size and your height (and tell me if you're looking for a complete set - or what components) - I'll call you back with specific options I have that may suit you.
I'm primarily interested in selling full sets of equipment.
The price would depend on the condition/age of the specific equipment you choose... roughly $150 for a complete set with older bindings... and ~ $250 more or less for those with newer bindings [and I have some excellent LL Bean sets, some wider skis and some metal-edged or acrylic-edged skis that will go for even somewhat more]. If you want equipment that is older, more used and cheaper, I have some of that, too... much depends on your boot size, in terms of what options are available.
You could come to our house to check the fit/see the options. If you find what you want, I'd ask you to pay in cash.
[ I don't know anything about snowshoes -- but I've got about 5 pairs in like-new condition that I'd be happy to sell. Range is about 18" to 27". I'd sell snow shoes for roughly $35 to $75 (for some L.L. Beans). Most have zip-up carrying cases and adjustable poles.]

Here's how we'll deal with COVID pandemic concerns: I WON'T be able to have you come into our house. There is an open breezeway where we'll meet and I'll let you try on boots or see other equipment. I'll need to speak to you beforehand by phone to really clarify what you're looking for, so that I can have equipment at hand, and we'll minimize the time we're meeting together.
I've had good experiences with responsible people the few times I've sold something on Craigslist... I hope this continues... and my wife will be glad to have us "decrease the clutter"....
[again - the #: 86 oh - Five 13 - 12 three 2 ] For security, I won't respond to e-mails and instead I ask people to leave a phone message with their number. It's a land line - no texts, please.
