The REI Garage Sale is a sale that REI does about 3-4 times per year where they have a mass selling of all of their gear that is slightly used, returned, demo'd, or is last year's model. This means there is a huge opportunity for savings.
When is the REI Garage Sale?
It happens several times per year. My best recommendation is to go to the REI website and sign up to receive events and happenings to your local REI. There is usually one at the start of each new 'season' (beginning of ski season, end of ski season, beginning of summer, and end of summer).
How does the REI Garage Sale work?
Okay, this is very important... I'm going to lay out how the REI garage sale works at the Denver REI. This is one of the biggest REI's in the nation and it is simply too big and too popular for it to just be a free for all. The last few I have been to have left a few people disappointed because they didn't receive the correct instructions. Here is how the REI Garage sale works for REI Denver.
-Show up by 7:00am. You don't need to be crazy early. A few minutes before 7:00 is fine.
-Stand in line. An REI employee will come down the line at 7:00 am with a box containing different colored raffle tickets. There are about 6-7 colors in there.
-If you are in the back of the line getting your tickets, it doesn't matter as it's a random draw.
-Get your ticket from the box.
-Look at the color of your ticket.
-Go do something for the next hour (there is a Starbucks in the REI that is open...so there's that...)
-At 8:00, go back out front of the main doors. One of the REI employees will have a volunteer draw tickets out of the box and they are color coordinated as to who gets to go first; this means there is an orange group, a red group, a green group, etc..
-Whichever color gets drawn first will get to go in pretty much immediately, so don't go anywhere if you are in the first group.
-The other colors will be put in order according to the order they were drawn and assigned a timeslot in 30 minute increments.
If you don't get to go in immediately, wait around until it is your turn. -When it's almost your turn, make your way into REI and go up the stairs to the 3rd floor. There will likely already be people waiting in line.
