Today my friends and I got up before 7am and ventured out to Oak Brook for the annual REI Garage Sale. They usually have ridiculous deals on slightly used or returned apparel and hardware. My friends have each purchased a jacket in the past at 70-80% off of sticker. This year I finally got mine. I found a Marmot Rain jacket for $20 that has no visible damage to it. The original retail is $100.

That brings us to the deal of the day. The had a set of 160cm K2 Apache Raider skis with Marker M2 bindings for sale. They had a a few slight marks on the bottom from being on display. The original price from K2 was about $700 and they were on clearance for $469 at REI. I bought them today for $99.93. This price was stupidly low. The skis are literally brand new off the shelf. I paid more last winter for a 4 year old set of rossignol demo skis. The best part is that I could probably sell my old skis and defray most of my costs, but I will likely just give them to my dad since they should fit him as well. I can't wait to get to Canada on tuesday to give these new skis a proper shakedown. I went to the store telling my self I wouldn't buy anything unless it was insanely good deal. I would say that over 80% off both of the items I purchased would qualify.

Great buys at REI. Is this sale also for tomorrow or was it just a 1 day affair?
