Cheap Gear - up to 70% off

Postby Outdoorsmack » Tue Feb 17, 2009 1:56 am

Hey Everybody,
I came across this site the other day. Some may have heard of it before but for those who haven't check it out.

http://www.steepandcheap.com

They sell one item at a time, with a limited quantity, and certain time limit for the auction.
A new item is available every 15-20 minutes and you never know what it will be. I have seen anything from sandals, climbing ropes, jackets, first aid kits....you name it and it will probably show up at some point.

Enjoy.
Malcolm.

I so almost hit the delete button on this. I thought you were a spammer at first. :lol:


SAC can be a pretty good site, we have got some really good deals there. There are several brands that they won't ship to Canada.

I'm pretty sure 50% of what I own came from that damn site... I love the bastard.

It seems harder to get anything good off it anymore, unless you're into expanding your wardrobe. I still keep an eye on it of course....you never know, right?

Least expensive shipping to Canada on a $122 BD Dropzone is $161.53??

Those $75 sunglasses cost $46 for shipping?

Not much of a bargain :shock:

Yeah, the shipping can kill you. The price for the sunglasses seems high though. I thought it was something like $15 an order to ship?

you didn't see the "rules" about SAC??? #1 was to not speak publicly about SAC. :D So don't complain when all the good sizes are sold when something you want comes up.

those of us closer to the border can get stuff shipped to calais or houlton for free which makes the deals remain worthwhile.

I miss the days when SAC shipping was free to anywhere in the states.

FREE Shipping? I must have missed something - I've paid oodles of shipping fees in the last 6 months on stuff I've ordered.

Some items have free shipping in the US. We send to C&E Feeds in Calais ME - $3 per package when you pickup.

The shipping *used* to be free anywhere in the states. I stopped buying stuff off SAC for about six months ('07/'08) and when I started buying from them again (spring '08) they were charging shipping for what had previously been free.

I definitely didn't pay that much for shipping when I got my coat shipped to Freddy last year... $15 MAX. Ended up being the cheapest (in cost only) jacket I've owned in a very long time. :D
