tmstiles Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Want to know why exhibitors always try to make a profit at these exhibitions, what happened to giving good deals to build loyalty as is done overseas. Went to the holdfast stand and wanted to buy a bike rack, the 3 bike one was R2795, i ask the guy if they have any show specials and get told its the same price as normal and he refused to even budge on the price. So he lost out on a sale, i will probably get one from Evans or CRC, hell if he had offerec me 10% i would have taken it.
Tankman Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 That is quite neat, are they available at the expo, I might get one, I take my boxer on my runs say three times a week, easy dos 8-10 kms now - might be interesting to take him riding.? Yup, on the way out, just before the exit on your left, I have contact details if you missed them.

Ive spotted a number of outlets charging more than what you pay in the shops
DJR Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Halleluya! Someone finally brought PEARL IZUMI stuff to SA. Found some at the expo and stuffed up my budget totally! The rest of the place was the same as usual. I agree, perhaps it is time for an upgrade.
GrumpyOldGuy Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Yup, on the way out, just before the exit on your left, I have contact details if you missed them. Yeah, can you let me have the contact details. Thanks in advance.

GTRacing Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 All I remember is the free beer and the CWC girls...

udxcob Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 The FOCUS stand had some awesome bikes and really good show specials
snakesmile Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 The entire concept of the Expo is bizarre. Why not send the race card in the mail? Why force entrants to take time to go to this very poor "exhibition"? I hope the organisers have got a sense of feelings out there from this thread, although I doubt it. The monopoly they foist on participants by subjecting them to real life spam in the form of high pressure, forced advertising in the expo is probably an enormous money spinner. What a load of ****. I dread going to the expo. On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoy popping into my LBS where my *choice* determines my being there. Rant for the day done. Haha. Have a wonderful race tomorrow, everyone.
leet22 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I see Powerbalance was at the show again. And ppl were buying them.
