My kids, like all other teenagers I see, love the Denali jackets from North Face. That being the case, I was in the market for two new Denali jackets for them but I was balking at the $165 price tags. I did all the usual online shopping searches and couldn’t find much of a break anywhere so I headed over to eBay. Here is the process I used to save big money on these jacket purchases.
1. First I had the kids go to a big sporting goods chain store near us to try on jackets. Since you can’t return on eBay, I wanted to make sure we were getting the right size. (I discovered that my daughter can wear a youth size in these jackets, which saved us some money as well.)
2. I went to Mr. Rebates, searched for eBay and then clicked through to the eBay website through Mr. Rebates. Doing this earned me a 3% cash back rebate on my purchases just for about 30 extra seconds and a couple of mouse clicks.
3. Once at eBay I did a search for Denali North Face jacket in the size and colors I was looking for. I narrowed my search to only items that were offered using the ‘buy it now’ feature because I didn’t want to mess with bidding. The buy it now prices were low enough I limited myself to those.
3. Keeping in mind shipping costs and seller ratings, I selected the lowest-priced jackets in my sizes/colors that were advertised as new with tags.
By using this method I was able to save almost 50% on these North Face jackets. Now that my purchase is complete, I can earn an extra 50 cent rebate by doing an eBay store review at Mr. Rebates.
Other tips for saving money on North Face items:
Dick’s Sporting Goods sells a variety of North Face products online. You can find Dick’s online coupons (at the time of this writing they are even offering free shipping), as well as earn 4.8% cash back on your purchase by going through Big Crumbs.
You can go directly to the source by shopping at The North Face online. Ebates offers 8% cash back when you click through to The North Face through them. Ebates also has North Face coupon and discount codes plus you get $5 to sign up if you’re not already an Ebates member.
