I'm devastated, this is some bullshit. These guys just don't want people to buy used gear anymore probably. I can't see any inventory online before I come in.

    devastated? really?
    they still sell used stuff… it’s the only major retailer to do so….
    it’s an employee owned company, it’s not an evil greedy corporation… probably just too much hassle trying to take pictures and put accurate descriptions and answering questions about used things, keeping it updated….
    they just want you to look at it in person.
    ….
    if this is devastating to you i think you should reevaluate your priorities in life.

    I used to think REI was great as well, but found out they're heavily anti-union. I've since stopped shopping there.

    They used to post all used items online. Why would they take it down if not for encouraging users to buy new? It adds another hurdle

    This one one of the things that made REI really worth going for! I feel like they are turning into every other big corporatsion pushing the newest and best things telling us we need new stuff! Not the way it should be.
