I hope I'm not breaking any rules here....but could anybody explain what the "Sportsman's Guide Buyers Club" is?  I ran across it while searching for a Mister Twister double tail that I use to use.  Is it legit and worth the money?  Thanks

The company offers a very accurate description of their operation.

"If you haven’t checked us out in a while, you may notice we’ve re-invented ourselves some. A lot actually…new Sportsman’s Guide and Buyer’s Club logos, a streamlined, updated look for the SportsmansGuide.com website with pinpoint search and refined categories plus expanded selections, a cleaner, simpler-to-shop design for the catalogs, the redesigned Guide Outdoors Community/Blog, plus the launch of a brand-new website and catalog, 365 Outdoor Wear.

But what hasn’t changed is our business philosophy and values. We offer only quality items...and we sell them for a whole lot less than others do, guaranteed. We only offer gear and clothing we'd use ourselves or suggest to our best friends, and we keep our prices low by buying right, not by adding to the mark-up. That’s why you’ll find many close-outs, factory over-runs, limited-quantity buys and big-quantity buys, priced below market here. We literally search the world in order to keep the supply of brand-new items flowing steadily from week to week. And we’re continually adding new items… at least 200 every week."

what exactly is it?

Basically it's a membership they offer that entitles you to discounted pricing. For an occasional, small purchase it isn't worth the cost. If you are contemplating a major purchase, or shop on line a lot, you will save some cash. I purchased a generator and it was priced over $60 less for members. The membership costs like $29.............. No brainer.

Sounds like an on-line Costco or Samsclub.
