Cobra_Commander Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 that is one hell of a deal. I wish I needed boots. I wonder how many milliseconds before TGR catches wind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 I wonder how many milliseconds before TGR catches wind... It was leaked there a little bit ahead of time I wish I'd waited a month to buy these or Tornados instead of Adrenalins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra_Commander Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 steepandcheap is kind of a strange marketing campaign. they don't even really hint they are backcountry.com yet they advertise these incredible deals w/no mention of the main website. They must be making dirt off of these things. I suppose they are just clearing house. You could _easily_ resell these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foraker Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 TGR? The Grim Reaper? Just notice how much SAC stuff ends up on eBay. Yea, it gets resold. They just haven't had anything I want to buy yet. :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 You could _easily_ resell these. You won't make that much after eBay fees, etc. forakers right - they get dumped on eBay and depress the market. not sure how he's never found anything on sac, they cover about every base at some point.

foraker Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I haven't been watching it that long and I've been mostly buying mountaineering stuff lately and not Nixon watches or sunglasses or day packs. :-P I also don't snowboard, and I don't think I haven't made any kind of move towards needing AT stuff. I'm not that good a skier yet. My main goal now is to get back into mountaineering. Most of what I need I don't think I'll ever see there. It's kind of like waiting for them to put C4 Camalots on sale for 25% off....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scot'teryx Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I have a pair of 29's with new liners (never baked) that I bought 3 months ago that I have used 6X. Bought a new pair through S&C.com, so I don't need these - anyone need some that missed the sale? I see they are selling them at bc.com for $385 (Still a good deal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 steepandcheap is kind of a strange marketing campaign. Volume, volume, volume. Click on the discuss button - back to topic list - and they'll give you the numbers on every item that sold out. As an example, yesterdays: Arc'teryx Beta SL Jacket - Men's This is todays item, have at it! $131.25 (originally $349.95) The last one went on Wednesday, March 15 2006, 01:39 AM. We sold 147 items for a total of $19293.75. An item was sold every 0.67 minutes. Back of the envelope puts them at $5-6 million a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
