Steep and cheap

[pebu]

SAC has a deal on a wax iron/scraper/toko universal wax combo. 32 bucks. Sounds decent to me.

It's showing something else now.. :(

You just about have to be sitting there when someone posts a SAC alert. They often only last seconds or minutes at best. Here is the photo of the deal.

I've saved hundreds of dollars on sac. By next year, it could go over $1000 saved. God i love that site but I sometimes refuse to check because it drains my account pretty fast sometimes.:nono:

That Toko set comes up often as does the iron by itself.

Steep and Cheap is the crack of the Internet. Just a sec, I need a fix.

they never have carving gear
this was a rare find

I would like to get the higher quality one they also have on BAC. I believe my good old 50's iron works the best. Nothing like pure beef. The amount of metal (weight) is what helps it hold the temp. Unfortunately the controls are far from precise on the old irons. Bit of anticipating is required. Don't smoke that wax!!!

Yep, SAC is definitely addictive. The really good stuff is gone in seconds.

check your local ski shop too.
I am a confirmed SAC addict...but I passed on this one because I was at my local shop and picked up a SKS iron (seems to be good quality) for $12 on an end of season sale.

The higher quality one is on sale too.
It shows as $172.95 in the listing.
When I added it to my cart, it was $103.77.

[retronaut]

I just did a storage coat of wax for next season on my family's gear.

Our club will do it for $15 which isn't bad. But when you add up my 3 boards, my wife's 2 boards, both of our skis, my 3 kids each have skis and 2 of them have boards - ouch.

I have been borrowing an iron for a six-pack. I should invest in one. I'll keep watching backcountry outlet.

I paid $1 for an old iron (no holes, weighs a ton) at a garage sale. Works great.

my buddy scored that Toko iron, great deal.
The Dakine bags for cheap are getting out of control.
Pulled the trigger on 2 "Pipe" bags, 135 cm and 157 cm for kite gear, $13 each and the kid on the phone was a BOL'r, knows Noah and was heading for the nationals. :biggthump


The really good stuff is gone in seconds......too bad everyone knows about SAC now. :mad:

what could make an iron worth that much? Its just a piece of metal that heats up to a specified temp, isn't it?

dude, it's YELLOW. Imagine if it were white and marketed by apple, it'd be like $400 bucks :lol:

any true SAC enthusiast has RSS on his hi tech cell phone/PDA and gets alerted every time a women's turtleneck is up for grabs.

yeah I'm a SAC addict too though lately I have been loathe to check it because it sucks away so much funding for things I need.

Here too. Works pretty good, though the controls kinda suck. Alot of time is spent equalizing the temp.

There is a suprising amount of instrumentation that goes into precision. The cost probably goes up with the square of precision. And precision is just what these irons boast.

Think you guys got it bad?

I work like 2 minutes from their warehouse.

I have to answer lots of questions every month about the credit card bills.

"What did you buy this time?!?!?!?!?!"

[skategoat]

I was in PC in February and I couldn't talk the guys into making a 5 minute detour from the airport. Probably a good thing since I would've had to buy another suitcase.

Time Available: less than a minute
Rate of Sale:0.0 per hour

Guys:

Why don't we start trading SAC buys on Bomber? I know it's new stuff but none of it competes with what Bomber is selling so I don't think Fin would have an objection.

Buying online is always a crapshoot so sometimes I end up with stuff that doesn't fit or is not exactly what I anticipated. Returning to SAC is an option and there is gearaddicts, but why not share the goods with a Bomberite who could use them?

Maybe we could post to the Classifieds by pre-pending the title with "SAC Swap". For example:

SAC Swap: Helly Hansen shorts, girl's size small

I have not seen this SAC before. I need one of those Irons, are there any more?

[bobdea]

after use a iron that was made for waxing you'll understand why people are willing to spend the cash on one
in particular they are worth it when you work with super hard waxes or flouros
a old school iron from the '50s that is made of steel and weighs 30 lbs is the next best thing as long as it has no holes but still it's hard to get them at a stable temp which is really important with super hard waxes since they melt at a temp which is somewhat close to the temps that will damage your base

[Gleb]

I have a toko 800w mouse. But spending almost $200 on an iron seems excessive. No?

clips like that willy, make me love Mad Tv all over again.
