When I was in Amsterdam I bought huge internal frame pack, couple of ice axes, scarpa boots, wool socks, few wool fleece lined hats, fleece jacket, snowboarding pants with recco avalanche system and some other misc stuff. All that was like $500 buks or so. When I get back to the US I priced it all on REI site and it came up to be about $1400.
