CHEAP WM sleeping bags here

“A group of folks on bp.com have determined that we can get a group discount on Western Mountaineering sleeping bags if we purchase 10 or more. I'm trying to contact WM directly to see if we can get a better rate, but right now it looks like we can get 15% off. Anybody here want to get in?

“bump

We've got a couple of leads so far and it looks like we're going to get a pretty good deal.”

“You might get more responses during the week NG.”

“I figured as much but I wanted to keep the post visible since I'll be traveling this week. We're looking at around 20%-25% off right now and I'm still trying to contact WM directly . . . If this works out we may try to do the same thing with some other manufacturers.

Gearheads of the forums, unite!”

“Who's going to repackage and ship to the individuals? Will that not add cost?


I do not need or want another WM bag...

“Good luck Stovey!!! I'm very happy with my Ultralite.”

“I might be interested, depending on discount and re-shipping questions.”

“You have mail Stovey”

“We haven't worked out the shipping details yet, but if I can get $100+ off I'll pay $20 for shipping.

On the latest line I'm looking at a $490 sleeping bag (Puma Super MF) for under $390.

Also, the guy who started the the landslide is a regular poster over there and he seems like a pretty trustworthy fellow.”

“Yes!
This is the one that I'm want: http://www.backcountrygear.com/catalog/bagdetail.cfm/WE1400A

I want to save $93! Cool. Thank you for posting this.”

Yeah Michhiker's a good guy....a little nuts maybe but he's ok :)
I think I'm gonna have to go look into this sleeping bag deal!”

“If I can get a good deal on 1 or 2 BigA's I might be interested.

I'm a price shopper though ... so it'd have to be a good deal.

Do you have to buy that brand (WM) to get a deal from that outfitter?

“Sarge,

We were targetting WM specifically. If we buy direct from WM, or a dealer that doesn't carry BA it won't be possible.”

“Sarge ,that BA bag looks great.”

“If you haven't checked latley I have been working on a better deal even If you are wanting one post over on the otherside what zip and length and we will see what we can do. It looks like we have around 8-9 so far probably drawing line at 15 or so. I will contact the retailer and see what to do about shipping.”

“hey nogranola,
' turns out I won't be getting one from this possible deal. ' thought I oughta let you know.”

“I have a WM bag. One of the best investments I ever made.”

“so everybody likes WM bags?

no complaints?”

“Only complaint is that I don't have the money to buy one.”

“I own four of them so I must like them.”

“Can I have one?”

“I want their queen-sized down quilt for my bed. I wanted to get it with this deal but wasn't sure if a quilt was counted in the sleeping bag discount they were offering.”

“I would love one, but I also need to eat, so I'll stick with my Campmor bag...:-(”
