Water Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Steep and Cheap has been offering $1 deals for the past week+. prior listings as of oct 1: Dollar Listings since Oct 1st They go extremely, extremely fast. You have to be ready. Your CC has to be saved on file and you have to have your shipping options set and be ready to quickly enter your password to 'affirm' your saved on file CC #. Having it in the cart = nothing. checking out is where its at. Not everything is for climbing but the following are: Kayland Apex Trek Mountaineering boots Westcomb Chimera Jacket IL Marmot Alpinist Jacket all for a dollar. I managed to pick up the Marmot Alpinist Jacket for $7.51 with shipping. I've also gotten a handful of other incredible deals. good luck!

Ted Piotrowski Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Dollar deals are also only listed during weekdays, though I did see on the dollar listings that they did manage to sneak one in on saturday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 violence? Plus SAC is using a pretty ingenious business model on these dollar deals. Limited quantities for a dollar. So they lost say $2500 on 9 marmot alpinist coats (not sure what price they get from the manufacturers) sold for $1. The $1 deals are always low quantity. However...they managed to get 12,000 people on their site and after the $1 sale ends the put up a 400 count of princton tec headlamp for $18 + 6~9 shipping. That batch of 400 headlamps sold out! Its pretty smart I think i changed my outfit but I'm still icy hot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelawgoddess Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 This sounds like a "disaster" waiting to happen. I might have to rent another garage if I keep amassing more gear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Piotrowski Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Cleansnipe totally beat me to the punch, but sacalerts.com now also has $1 alerts if you're interested or already have a previous account. Find it under the Settings page. Good luck to everyone. I snagged my first $1 yesterday. W00t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denalidave Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Bump... Finally got my first $1 deal. Worth keeping an eye on if you happen to be at the computer anyway. I did not think the deal went through, but a couple days later and I got the product. NICE gloves that fit well for a $1, plus $7 for shipping. Thanks for posting this.
