Default what a deal!

went to the local sporting store to get some fuel for my Jetboil. Took a look over to the nickle rack and the MSR red triangle container caught my eye, sure enough there was a brand new poket rocket inside with no price. Grabbed the kid for a price and he says 5 bucks, I ask if he's sure and he say's it's got no box no instructions he's not even sure what it is. I tell him it's a stove, and he says it must be missing some parts then and I could have it for 3 if I wanted.

Guess who's got a new Poket Roket

Congrats, let me know how you like it compared to the jet boil, pros and cons of each, thanks. I've been stuck with my rocket for 10 years now, wouldn't know what to do with anything else.

That is a fantastic deal. I did that once with a pack, it was missing a small "part" so I got it reduced and on clearance, it was last year's model, got home and opened it up, the "missing part" was inside~
