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 have ordered from them and they are OK. Just watch the prices. Like
everyone else they have loss leaders and charge too much for other
things. Service was fine.

Yes, They're catalogue looked a lot like looking though a Jegg's or
Summit automotive catalogue. A lot of "chromie-go-faster" stuff. With
advertising using squeeky-clean models on the dock of the yacht club,
that wouldn't get wet, dirty, or sweaty if they had to.



Jegg's and Summit. I like their sales lines. "your LOW price!" or "The
part you want ant the price you want to pay..."

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.

Some of them get wet, dirty, and sweaty.

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 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'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.
