Just a reminder. If you want to buy winter/rain gear, now is the time. I just picked up a nice gore-tex jacket and a puffy jacket for a steal. Last years models/colors are fine with me, lol. Lots of retailers are offering sale items plus 20% discount! Anyway, maybe we should have a 'good deals' section?

Always a noble enterprise. And I'm always up for a good deal ...

Certain aspects, though, always end up being problematic.

Deals tend to be local or regional, based on a retailer's strategy.

Worse, though, is that search engine spiders will find a "good deals" section. Then, the shills and spammers descend on the site like a pack of wild dogs.

CandlePowerForums (CPF) has a good deals section, but you need to log in to even view the categories. I assume this is to fend off the spiders and spammers.

So, I'm afraid, a "good deals" section just means doubling the workload of our moderators. That's a lot to ask.
