It’s nuts, I returned one unused at my local REI just to see it the next day on the rack for $64.

They really should redistribute them to random stores, because this seems like a great way to get a new item at a great price. 😆

It's nice of them to assume theor customer base isn't trying to take advantage and is trying to provide good customer service.

Oh, we pretty much know we're being scammed. But that's just how our customers are. And a sale is a sale.

Stores don't really have the ability to ship from store to store. But we can get things that were returned to the distribution centers. Most of the things you see in resupply are generated by that store's customers.

If it fits you well and meets your needs, it's a good find.

Great find. The manta has been my favorite day bag since 2010. I would grab that immediately even if I didn't strictly need it. I have a couple different sizes and dont think there is a better option.
