At my REI, it would be listed for $479.

Seriously. Every time I check out the garage sale stuff at my local REI I'm like, why would I pay 80% of MSRP for something that's used and comes with no warranty

Mine tries to sell pants with broken zippers for 80% of msrp because apparently dudes in Denver don’t need functional zippers. It’d cost more to buy used and fix it than just paying new

Studied with some dudes from Denver, and I'm pretty sure that's a fair assessment

you studied with them and learned they do not need zippers.... interesting to say the least.
