REI Garage Sale Aftermath

[RWheeler]

The REI closest to me had their garage sale today, and I made out pretty darn well.

Big Agnes Insulated Air Core pad (regular length) with full repair kit for $30.

Two pairs of Superfeet insoles for $8 total, one green size G, one orange size E

Pair of Merrell Moab shoes and Vans Veil snowboard boots for my girlfriend for $20 and $40, respectively.

A Black Diamond Gizmo for $10 which was labeled as not working, but I opened it, realized the batteries were in backwards, tested it, and it worked fine.

Huzzah!

Good deal. I just picked up a BA IAC for full price. Like your price better!

I was really hoping to get a sleeping bag liner, but the only one I saw, someone had grabbed just before me. Saw the air pad and figured it should work for extending the temp rating a bit more on my bag. I may end up trying to trade it for a bag liner, though. But then again, I may just make my own out of silk.

Got a nice pair of mittens, long sleeve coolmax shirt, wicking socks and a travel pillow. Total $48

Last year got a Mountain Hardware Phantom 45 and a 32 in great shape. $99 and $150. Also some prefect black diamond trekking poles for $17

Those with access to an REI ought to be thankful. The nearest one to me is 6 hours and 2 states away...

Around here, their idea of 'outdoors' is either where you dump your old sofa, or where you go to kill something for dinner...

I got a pair of Black Diamond fleece gloves, a pair of liner gloves, a patgonia midweight hooded pullover, and Mountain Hardwear gaitors for $46.

That's because you live in LA.

Oh, I am. When they opened the first REI in Atlanta, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Since then that store has doubled in size and they've added 3 more. But Seattle has to be gear store heaven.

love the scratch and dents. got a brand new arcteryx theta for $43 b/c it was too small and just picked up my osprey aether 70 brand new for 45 b/c it was too heavy for the person. Plus countless other stuff for super cheap. I live close to atlanta so i have 2 rei within 20 mins and 2 more within 45 mins. I don't even wake up early to get there in the mornigns anymore. i'll get there when they first open and just wait around for people to decide they dont' want things and put them back. Found some of my best deals that way. Plus if you wait long enough some of the stuff will get marked down even more. REI is a top notch establishment in my book.
