Steep and Cheap

“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...”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“Some stuff seems to be gone in minutes...

“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.”

“Something tells me I just read an out of context quote, but I'm not saying a thing...”

“Yippeeee!”

“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!”

“So that's what that damn noise is!”

“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!”

“i have gotten a few good deals there.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“It also makes a dong noise just in case your away from the computer.

What sort of noise does your dong make, anyhoo?”

“I don't think I want my computer badgering me by saying, "Play with me!" every 5 seconds.”

“Marmot Cima Zip Fleece Jacket - Women's is on sale now..20.63”

“Nope now it is a womens watch. Ever notice how all the good close out gear tends to be womens.”

“Nope, now it's Burton Custom Snowboard Binding”

Stop surfing porn, and that's not your computer asking to play!”

“Steep and Cheap and SAC are both selling the same thing...that woman's watch...”

“

that thing's friggin ugly”

“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.”

“whoever said they were saving for the exped downmat...SAC has it for $83.95
www.steepandcheap.com”

“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.”

“SC has Outdoor Research windshirts for $30.94.

3.5oz!

“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?”

“"Nixon's The One!"


I need to put that S&C; link on my desktop --”

“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

”

“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"...”

“Hey pedxing, how do you put a link onto your toolbar?”

“K2 Public Enemy skis up now.”

“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.”

“At the moment they are selling a womens 15 deg mountain hardware bag for $70. It won't last long.”

“Now it's Salomon Pulse GTX Jacket - Men's for $87.50...good deal....”

“TNF Dwn booties for women...22 bucks!

www.steepandcheap.com”

“I just bought these at REI last weekend for $14!

Buy 'em - way comfy and much more sturdy than the SD booties. :)”

“$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!”

“SealLine Baja Dry Bags now for 10 bucks”

“they must run different specials..I am showing a Toko Wax Iron now”

“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.”

“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 :(”

“holy crap...Tubbs snowshoes for less than 100 bucks!!!!

HURREEEEEEEEEEE”

“$27 for shipping. #$^&@!!!”

“Fudge! they're gone!”

“i'm really getting tired of all the women's clothes”

“Ah, a gear version of woot.com”
