For me REI & Sportsbasement are like Disneyland. You can see quality products and the opportunity to see, feel and try it (and also some valuable info from store associates) along with excellent return policy all are worth for me compared to few bucks savings from unknown sellers. Again these are my thoughts and YMMV
1. A store front that you can walk into with any issues with a product; the people there are generally knowledgeable about their specific departments
2. A return policy that is absolutely amazing. This summer I picked up a few kayaks and a roof rack all from REI. I had no idea if I would like the sport, the kayaks, or the roof rack. As it turned out, I did not like one of the two kayaks and that will be returned shortly. I also found that the roof rack (on a tacoma) was just way too difficult to actually use when I would go kayaking solo - this is also being returned. I have used both the rack and the kayaks all summer long and I would have had no real way of knowing that there were issues beforehand so this gave me tons of peace of mind in buying it from REI.
3. The membership pays for itself many times over, especially if you wait for specific sales. This one in particular has Darn Tough socks on sale which is definitely a 'buy it for life' purchase. You get enough of their socks (7+ pair), and will never have to worry about holes or worn cushioning in your socks again. This is a great deal on their socks, considering they go on sale directly from DT a few times a year and normally sit at 25% discount during said sales.
Overall, I think there is some value in purchasing specific things from REI and its outlet.
