Steep and CheapView Messages“There are often good deals here but I know I often forget to look. Maybe those of us who like cheap gear can keep this thread going when we see something promising... Today, they are selling the grey, Smartwool, short-sleeved t-shirt for $22.50...this is a great price for a super t-shirt...I love mine...” 5:06:17 AM 2/22/07 “I've bought several things on Steepandcheap. Just scored a Northface Flight series hydropack 1100. It has all kind of storage space on it...good for day hikes. I also got my supercool Spy 'Clint' shades.” 5:42:49 AM 2/22/07 “Most of my gear has been bought on close-outs or stuff like Campmor fleece and down jackets. I've had to outfit anywhere from two to four people(kids and their friends) for trips.” 7:01:41 AM 2/22/07 “holy crap!!! $22 for a tee shirt...i don't care if it is smartwool, that doesn't belong on the steep and cheep thread ;) i can't believe i've never heard of this site” 7:08:45 AM 2/22/07 FYI “Dang Chappy! I looked at that pack yesterday on the site and was thinking about getting it. So I went back to the site last night after the kids went to bed, but it was gone already. In its place were North Face women's trail runners for under $50. So FYI, there might be more than one item sold in a 24-hour period.” 7:27:56 AM 2/22/07 “Some stuff seems to be gone in minutes... http://sacattack.com shows you what you missed while you weren't staring at the screen clicking refresh. last edited: 2/22/07 7:45:52 AM” 7:44:44 AM 2/22/07 “I love the SAC! I get the "daily dose" in my box every day. ;) This morning, I just missed getting a sweet deal on a new headlamp for the man. I was SOL...cuz they were gone.” 7:45:01 AM 2/22/07 “Something tells me I just read an out of context quote, but I'm not saying a thing...” 7:48:54 AM 2/22/07 “ 7:58:18 AM 2/22/07 “Yippeeee!” 8:06:13 AM 2/22/07 “You can set it up so they will send a pop-up at the bottom of your screen every time a new item starts. It also makes a dong noise just in case your away from the computer. It can be realllllly dangerous for us gear heads. Ha!” 8:21:16 AM 2/22/07 “So that's what that damn noise is!” 8:24:11 AM 2/22/07 “I always look for closeouts on good gear as well. I've got myself and two growing boys to outfit. They are getting into hand me down size now. I get new gear they get my old stuff. Sucks being a kid!” 8:52:32 AM 2/22/07 “i have gotten a few good deals there.” 8:57:26 AM 2/22/07 “It is a great site, but it is so frustrating to see a deal and find it gone by the time you click through.... or to see a good deal and find its all gone but the extra small.” 11:25:55 AM 2/22/07 “I have the link on my toolbar - so I can check it when I'm bored, on the phone, or waiting for a page to come up on my computer.” 11:26:58 AM 2/22/07 “I've picked up some smartwool socks for 6 bucks a arc teryx womens t shirt for 16. I check it 5-6 times a day very dangerous website.” 12:07:29 PM 2/22/07 “It also makes a dong noise just in case your away from the computer. songbyrd601 6:21:16 AM 2/22/07 What sort of noise does your dong make, anyhoo?” 4:57:08 PM 2/22/07 “I don't think I want my computer badgering me by saying, "Play with me!" every 5 seconds.” 4:59:46 PM 2/22/07 “Marmot Cima Zip Fleece Jacket - Women's is on sale now..20.63” 5:18:05 PM 2/22/07 “Nope now it is a womens watch. Ever notice how all the good close out gear tends to be womens.” 5:57:01 PM 2/22/07 “Nope, now it's Burton Custom Snowboard Binding” 6:40:15 PM 2/22/07 ““I don't think I want my computer badgering me by saying, "Play with me!" every 5 seconds.” Nigal 4:59:46 PM 2/22/07 Stop surfing porn, and that's not your computer asking to play!” 8:08:35 PM 2/22/07 “Steep and Cheap and SAC are both selling the same thing...that woman's watch...” 3:40:02 AM 2/23/07 “ that thing's friggin ugly” 7:23:39 AM 2/23/07 “Yesterday I bought the Marmot fleece. Yahoo! Mata, I think the reason SAC and SteepandCheap are the same thing is that SAC is a service telling you when there is a new item is on SteepandCheap.” 7:36:56 AM 2/23/07 “whoever said they were saving for the exped downmat...SAC has it for $83.95 www.steepandcheap.com” 9:46:48 AM 2/23/07 “They're switching gear up faster than I can type their web address. I just bought a pair of Leki Super Makalu Ergonomic grip trekking poles this morning. Now they have Black Diamond Skis up.” 10:59:52 AM 2/23/07 “SC has Outdoor Research windshirts for $30.94. 3.5oz! last edited: 2/23/07 2:37:57 PM” 2:35:56 PM 2/23/07 “Smartwool t-shirt...women's large sold for $16..that was a helluva deal...now they have a women's Mountain Hardware Parka...marked down to $103...any skier out there?” 10:31:14 AM 2/25/07 “"Nixon's The One!" I need to put that S&C; link on my desktop --” 12:00:36 PM 2/25/07 “ok, i'm starting to question their "regular" prices now....they've got this as a regular price of $51.95...i did a quick little search and the first three sites i checked had it for $20-25...granted steap and cheap is selling it for $17.75 which is still a savings, but come on, not as much as they're saying ”7:23:44 AM 2/26/07 “You're right..this is a Wenger knife, model EVO 88 and the manufacturers list price from Wenger is only $37.95- http://www.wengerna.com/browse/product.jsp?prod_id=8273&cat;_id=1&cat;_name=Knives⊂_cat_id=75 I always do my research before I buy but your post is a good "heads up"...” 9:38:20 AM 2/26/07 “Hey pedxing, how do you put a link onto your toolbar?” 10:34:58 AM 2/26/07 “K2 Public Enemy skis up now.” 10:36:55 AM 2/26/07 “They are usually the lowest price I can find for whatever they have listed - but thriftyhiker is right, a lot of times they are only the best by a couple bucks...sometimes ends up breaking even if the place that is a few dollars more than them offers free shipping or something. Still - a lot of times killer deals that no one else seems to touch - and it's a safe bet everything on the site is a great deal...there is just a chance that someone else is offering a similar great deal on the same product.” 10:50:34 AM 2/26/07 “At the moment they are selling a womens 15 deg mountain hardware bag for $70. It won't last long.” 4:30:54 PM 2/27/07 “Now it's Salomon Pulse GTX Jacket - Men's for $87.50...good deal....” 6:48:20 PM 2/27/07 right now... “TNF Dwn booties for women...22 bucks! www.steepandcheap.com” 7:40:27 AM 3/01/07 “I just bought these at REI last weekend for $14! Buy 'em - way comfy and much more sturdy than the SD booties. :)” 7:47:33 AM 3/01/07 “$14?!! nice. Sliceman just got SD booties(mules) yesterday at the local EMS. They're closing one of their MALL stores and everything is on sale!!! whoohooo!” 9:57:41 AM 3/01/07 “SealLine Baja Dry Bags now for 10 bucks” 10:00:27 AM 3/01/07 “they must run different specials..I am showing a Toko Wax Iron now” 10:07:53 AM 3/01/07 “Once they sell out of an item it disappears and gets replaced by a wax iron, or ski goggles....usually nothing I want, lol. The good stuff goes fast.” 11:04:19 AM 3/01/07 “i kept checking the site over and over again and they never had anything i wanted...then finally, they had a backpack child carrier for only $50, great deal...my wife put the kybosh on it :(” 11:35:41 AM 3/01/07 “holy crap...Tubbs snowshoes for less than 100 bucks!!!!
