Default Anybody ever buy stuff from Overton's?

My brother gets their catalogue and I've looked though it and it
doesn't really seem like there's anything in there that I need. But
they do have a good selection of stuff, though. I looked at the prices
of their electrical things and saw items there that I thought were
rediculous, and saw things in there that my local marina[s] have for
compatable pricing. But not all things.

Anyone have experience with Overton's

OOPS! hit the enter key before I was done.

Anyone have experience with Overton's? And seeing I dont' really buy
catalogue items, I was wondering how they stack up with the likes of
Bass Pro? or internet shopping?

Thanks!

I've bought a few things over the years from Overtons, typically stuff
I cannot buy locally. Their prices are just average.

I suppose my favorite "outdoor stuff mail order supplier" is Cabelas,
but I also like to visit the nearby Bass Pro Shops stores.

Isn't Cabela's more geared to hunting and fishing?

Indeed, but it has lotsa stuff not geared towards hunting and fishing,
including some great clothing.

I'd like to get a pair of their 18" high uninsulated boots to wear with a
long raincoat have.
Too much trouble/expense to bring across the border unless I make another
day run to Maine.

I used to schlep all the way to North Raleigh to buy from them.

These days,

If Ebay or Wal-Mart doesn't carry it, I don't need it.

I've become a huge fan of on-line shopping for most light weight items.
There just aren't enough hours in the day for all that running around.

I'm not a fan of Wal-mart. I really do try to avoind the place, But
for instance. Overtons "large" bow light part #21543 in their
catalogue is $14.99 plus shipping. Walmart has exactly the same thing
for $9.99 + sales tax.

but i don't need one of those, either.
