    They only have one item listed for a certain amount of time.

    Guessing what happens is:
    Someone comes along a few hours after the first post was made, clicks the link, in the interm the item has changed, so they whine like a bish to the mods, about why someone made a link to when S&C they are selling kids PFDs.

    Easier to eliminate the reason for whining, than the whiners?

    What happens is that someone posts the link to a deal on a sleeping bag(for instance)and 30 seconds later, before anyone has a chance to even click on it, the deal is rotated to Oakley sunglasses of chartruese "Life is Good" cotton T-shirts size xxx small.

    This results in ***? PM's to the moderator(Cuffs in this case) or Rock or Attroll or Dixi from people wondering what it has to do with hiking. It annoys them.

    Tain't nothing wrong with the site; they are part of backcountry.com; buy with confidence. They have some of my money and I have some of their stuff.

    Someones thinking this morning!

    The deleted post was in reference to a specific item that was gone is less that 10 minutes after the post. Hence Deleted.

    If you all want to talk about all the great stuff youve gotten from SAC, go ahead, Ive gotten some great stuff from them too, but links to the deal of the minute will be deleted.

    But why delete the whole thread, rather than explain how the site works?

    I get complaints (PM's) about how people click the link that was posted but the item has changed. PRobably gone thru 3 or 4 different things... before someone else finds it...

    My in box fills up the same day someone posts about a deal. the persons who did not get the deal complain. I try to explain... but its easier to remove the 5 minute sale link.
