+GeoTrekker26 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Looks like Garmin is trying to clear things out for the new 600 series. I just received my REI sales flyer and the $199.99 price is available May 17 - May 27 2013. The ad states it's a markdown of $165. Quote
+Team-H :) Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Yeah, part of me is considering cancelling my never-ending Oregon 650 backorder and getting the 450t on sale and a Casio Protrek watch for less $ than the 650 would cost... Quote
+phlatlander Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Not to be provocative, GPSCity.ca (Calgary) has had the O450 on sale for @199.95cdn for a couple of months. The O550 is still listed at $350cdn but today is "sold out". As you state it looks like they are getting rid of 450/500 stock. Quote

Next week REI is having an anniversary or something of the such sale. Heard it on the radio on my way into work. Quote
+BAMBOOZLE Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 That's a great price and an unbeatable warranty. Quote
shaunjayne Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Just went to there website and they are not even listed on there. For that price I would buy one in a heartbeat. Must be sold out already. Quote

I think somebody screwed up on the website (has happened with sales there before), or they ordered a bunch and they haven't come in yet. Quote

I think somebody screwed up on the website (has happened with sales there before), or they ordered a bunch and they haven't come in yet. It is also in a mailed flyer from REI so it's not a "website" screwup. So.... If you want one go to an REI store and place an order. Quote

I think them not showing it on the website is a screwup because yes, it is on sale. An REI employee gave me the web link for the Oregon 450t on sale a week ago, but it says out of stock right now.

+Anonymike7 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 I stood outside my local REI this morning before opening just so I could grab one of these units at this price. I managed to get the one they had in store. I'd called them the other night to inquire about availability and was told they had two. I'm guessing an employee snapped the other one up last night. One employee told me that they would be ordering more for the store, but the manager told me that these units were store-only, and that they wouldn't be available online. He said that whatever was in stock has been shipped to stores and that no more would be made available. I suppose you can take that with a grain of salt, but that's the news as I got it. Quote
shaunjayne Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Just saw a cabelas flyer and they also have the 450T on sale right now for 199.99. I just got done ordering mine online. Quote
+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Just heard from my REI contact: "Many apologies. Our merchants made a mistake and pushed out all the inventory to the retail stores." Quote
+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 I got an update late last night. They were able to get a shipment of 500 units in and it is now available online as well. Quote
+phlatlander Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Still $199.95 cdn at GPScity.ca (Calgary AB CA) Quote
+Red90 Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Still $199.95 cdn at GPScity.ca (Calgary AB CA) The one at GPScity is the "400" not the "400t". This thread is about the "t"... Quote
MtnHermit Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Still $199.95 cdn at GPScity.ca (Calgary AB CA)The one at GPScity is the "400" not the "400t". This thread is about the "t"... Besides, isn't the 400 1st generation, and x50 2nd generation, and 6xx 3rd generation? Quote
+phlatlander Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Whoops, then $200 for a 450t is a great price. Quote
Pacific NW Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Checked out REI over the weekend, and there were no Oregon 450t's to be seen. And the website looks empty now, too. Quote
Pacific NW Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Sheesh, sure enough. They need to make up their mind! Quote
