I can assure you all there were no errors or problems with any of those products. These items were those prices for a very specific reason that has nothing to do with any quality issues or pricing errors.

Care to explain? Does this have something to do with the Beta Website? Oh and what is a Beta Website?

It means the the site is incomplete or still has some kinks to work out and is still in testing. Generally Alpha testing is done by the developers themselves or an in-house quality control team and sometimes by private invitation. At the alpha stage there are still lots of bugs, missing features, etc.

Beta testing is the next stage, many times they will open it up to open-beta testing so that anyone can use the site or program under the assumption that there still may be problems with it.

If you notice when you go to the site you are not directly on the shopping portion. As you saw from your google search, it is a beta because the site still has some kinks to work out. It's also a test of the whole process to make sure it is all working as designed from the time you place your order until the product actually arrives at your doorstep.

Soooo it says "currently not available online" for basically everything. Is that going to change?

If it was a clearance item, just treat it like a clearance item in the store. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Got my gear and it all looks great. Just a guess, but I wondered if the prices had anything to do with Reebok trying to liquidate their stock with the uncertainty of next season and the Nike/NFL contract on the horizon.

the reason it was on clearance was because it was 2010 merchandise. It's just the stuff they didn't sell last year. Back when I used to get Eastbay magazine, they would alway have the previous years stuff on sale (not $0.88 though)

I knew it was 2010 stuff, but it was almost too cheap. You can find discounted previous season apparel at places like TJ Maxx, Marshall's and online at Football Fanatics, but nothing like this. I guess my mind is still trying to rationalize how I only spent $4.88 on a $75 jacket.

All my stuff is top notch. The jacket is worth $70 easy. Even my camo is badass as it's the under armor type material. This was ridiculous. Timing is everything. $241 worth of stuff for $31 total.
