Sickest Gear Deals on the Planet
By Rocky Thompson on January 31st, 2007Better than SteepandCheap? Maybe. I posted something about GearTrade.com a long time ago, but they recently changed their pricing structure. GearTrade is basically a gear dump for everything that’s returned to Backcountry.com (usually in new condition, just missing tags), and someone at Backcountry.com decided they don’t want to hang onto that inventory for more than a year. Each piece of gear will have its price reduced by 1/365th each day it’s on GearTrade, so after a year it’ll cost $1 whether it’s a kayak or a beanie. The thing to do is start watching some big ticket items and pick a day to buy when it hits your price. Now you’ll have two sites to keep an eye on at midnight.
