I think they sell some items in batches/lots. For instance, those Smith Anthem goggles kept coming back, a little cheaper each time: from 38 to 27 to 25. So I don't think they necessarily put up all they've got in stock at one time. It's a real crap-shoot. I missed out on the CW-X tights, and I think those are gone forever :( - and at around $33 for a retail $95 item, no big surprise.
However, if you see stuff to the left of the single item (other stuff) and click on it, you get redirected to Backcountry.com - deals aren't quite as huge but still are good.
But, indeed, if it's on SAC, do the math real quick to see if the single-item S/H makes it worth your $ and move fast. I've missed out at checkout as well.

I don't know what specifically was going on with those goggles, but I did notice that each time they were up, there was a decreasing variety in the selection. The pair that I got at $38 were no longer available when SAC put up the goggles again at $25.

technically you can wait but its not advised.
For instance, you can put an item in your cart and let it sit there. If the item ends but is not sold out, it will still be in your cart for purchase later when you buy something else.
The big trouble is............
the item will likely be sold out and you'll be SOL.

That's what I was wondering SnowHot. 
I'm a complete cheapskate and most of the times the shipping will completely turn me off. I mean, I found 6 items yesterday and that would have been something like $45 shipping had I done them seperately. 
I'm all about the principle of the thing.
I guess I'll have to take my chances.
I'm just WAY too frugal to pay $45 to ship anything. :duck:

Indeed, SAC is definitely a "how much do you want it" kind of deal. For instance, the Smith Anthem goggles that have turned up multiple times in the last month or so have had decreasing frame/lens options and correspondingly lower prices. At $25, I was ready to eat the s/h of 6.95. I can't get these for less around here.
If you're going for multiple purchases, it probably is better to head to a traditional website, where the higher item(s) price(s) will be offset by one s/h charge - sometimes, at some sites, even free if total is over a certain $ amount (altrec comes to mind). It's all a do-the-math-fast thing.
The one nice thing at least is that they do ship fast and UPS (although choices are offered). I got the ship notice within hours of placing the order.

Those were different goggles at 38.00 (actually 37.25). Those goggles were the limited editions with the crystals. When they went to 27, it was the regular smith anthems.
The 25.00 ones were the less popular colors which they had a TON of in stock.
That was the only difference

The Anthems wound up fitting DH much better than they fit me! 
He tried them on, grabbed them, I haven't seen them since, haha. So the "less popular" color of graphite with the high-contrast lens (very necessary out here for flat light) was a steal (and next season's xmas gift to him!). I think the current ones we have are the platinum/flash lens for brighter light. Excellent goggles, he's way happy but crystals probably not a good option for a guy!

If you go to www.sacattack.com you can see the amount of the items, and details on how often they show up.
