At approx 15:30 on 11/6/2006 SAC flipped over to selling SmartWool Smart Tee for $27.76 ... somewhat better than REI-outlet's closeout price of $41.93

Darnnit...

Yousa, those went quick!

There was a selection of most sizes for 3 colors when it started.

For some reason, even though I'm subscribed to their RSS feed, I still get updates late from SAC. My feed was showing the previous deal (some goggles I think) and when I clicked it, the shirts popped up in XL only... that would have been a steal...

It's not just you. It might be your RSS reader's refresh time, but I yesterday I manually checked SAC and my RSS reader didn't have the update for almost half an hour (on a 15-minute RSS refresh cycle). Odd thing is, sometimes I notice SAC going back to a previous deal.

If you want to feel bad about missing previous deals, check out SACattack.com.

Not sure how many left

If you sign up for their email, you only get the first deal of the day (midnight MT time).

I recently d/l'ed their Desktop Alert and it works great. You get a popup above the system tray and an audio tone for each new item.

You can also get email alerts from http://www.sacattack.com/ and they send one for every new item.

The best, however, is leaving a window open, keeping an eye on the site and hitting F5 (refresh) when the qtys get low. Sometimes popular items, like goggles, sunglasses, woolwear and Arc'teryx are sold out in minutes.

Careful though, it's habit forming!

They have women's Smartwool tees on there right now for $22 (12:47 PST 11/8)
