Don't want to start a new thread for this question. Thought you deal-heads might be able to help. Is there ever a legit deal on Garmin InReach Mini 2? I wanted to wait for some deal to save a few bucks, but remember that even when REI had the 20% membership discount, Garmin was excluded. So, does that mean that there is no point in waiting even though I'm not in a big rush?

An AAC membership is $45 and comes with expert voice which will get you the Mini 2 for $299 which between the two, are the same as buying it without a sale.  If the AAC has other benefits that you like it'll be a deal.

In the spirit of the thread, Al's has C4s for 25% off.  https://www.als.com/bdequi-cam-camalot-c4/p?idsku=500284&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=&scid=scplp500284&sc_intid=500284&gclid=Cj0KCQjwof6WBhD4ARIsAOi65ajvSWwKSS3iMZMVzgboPg-MUF5HGpnAkOSPruJ1CozAsWPbL-jYdXwaAhW4EALw_wcB

I have a Garmin Mini. If I was buying a new emergency device, I would consider the Zoleo., though the advantage of Garmin is the monthly payment plan can be cheaper.

You can buy used older units on ebay for under $200. I have an older style, Delorme inreach from 2015 that works perfectly. Garmin is still maintaining them, with the most recent firmware update in the past year.

Thanks all (Climb On, Terry E, James Cho, and offline contacts) for the helpful information! This will be purchased as a present, so used or refurbished will not work. Can't wait for Black Friday either. I understand there will be subscription cost after the purchase, but the friend has voiced interest in such a tool (not expecting a gift) for remote excursions, so I figured a device is a good starting point. I'll read into ZOLEO.

Edit: to respond to Terry E's comment below without fully hijacking the thread -- the device will be ONLY for the most serious emergencies (the said friend is one of most self-reliant and experienced explorers). After reading through the user comments on REI site and comparing plans, I have decided against ZOLEO. It might be good for some folks, but it does not fit the use case that I will buy it for.

I don't want to completely hijack this thread, since it's supposed to be about online deals.... but you may want to be clear on what you are buying the device for - messaging, SOS, GPS navigation? Note that ZOLEO does NOT do the latter.  Also compare subscription plans and how they work.

It’s not less annoying if you warn us that you don’t want to annoy us before annoying us. 

For those of you with big feet looking for an entry level shoe or gym shoe I just got a pair of scarpa origins for $22 size 47 form Sierra. Tried them on and they feel much better in the toe box than several other shoes I’ve tried/had so I’m hoping my big toe pain is alleviated by the additional room i have with these shoes.

what looks like an unused microtrax for about $75 (i think geartrade now charges tax, so probably about 78-80, but still better than retail + sale price).

Amazon has new European market microtraxs for ~$65 shipped (general caveats regarding climbing gear from Amazon apply, but IMO not too different from buying backcountry returns).

oluinid has nanotrax for $53+ shipping and petzl crevasse rescue kits (microtrax, partner pulley, tibloc, two lockers and a sling) for $120+shipping (I paid $30 shipping on my last order including a rope, their minimum shipping fee is ~$20. Split very large orders ($800+) up to avoid customs)

€1=$1.02 right now, most euro prices are set assuming €1=$1.20, and some stuff was much cheaper in Europe even before the euro nosedived.

Was looking at these as well. Pretty crazy you can get a good deal on these from Sierra but I wish there were more. I’m not sure how much sense it to get one .3 x4 though.

My phone says it’s still available 

^Try putting one into your cart and checking out. I would have bought one 5 hours ago when it was first posted, but they sold out quickly.
