StevieL Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Was hopping between bike shops in the northern suburbs of JHB yesterday. Below are 2 bikes in shops that are within 7km of each other. R2000 difference? Seriously?
ibruegge Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 so, 3 % price difference.... sounds pretty normal to me?
MariusC Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Sounds normal. but who wants a Scott in any case? covie and Cav' 2
StevieL Posted June 19, 2012 Author Posted June 19, 2012 so, 3 % price difference.... sounds pretty normal to me?I hear your point, but let me say, I would be less than happy having spent 2K more than I needed t... Actually, I would be happy. I would be on the bike of my dreams.

I would be on the bike of my dreams. But StevieL, if you'd make the effort to compare prices after you had spent, surely you'd come to the conclusion that you should have done your homework first?!

Cav' Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 After asking for discount/best price you'll findThe more expensive lbs will give a larger discount say 10%And the cheaper lbs would give 7% So works out the same.
ThePubSA Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 1st pic looks like linden , wheres the second.. northcliff cycles>?
kosmonooit Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 R2k on that price is neither here nor there. I am sure the more expensive will meet the other price if you tell them If the price diffs was 30, 40 ,50% then you might have a case for a public winge
Clinton1 Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 After asking for discount/best price you'll findThe more expensive lbs will give a larger discount say 10%And the cheaper lbs would give 7% So works out the same. Well in this instance I would then recommend that all avoid the first shop. Not everyone asks for a discount so effectively they are ripping folk off with more expensive goods. I doubt they'll offer the discount of their own accord.
Rudi Pollard Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 On HotSpots website it is listed at R52,000...
Azonic Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Anyone who even considers spending R60+ on a bike needs their heads checked anyway...
andretraut Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Stevie, yesterday you complained about not getting a raise. Today you you are telling us that you are scouting bike shops comparing prices. Should'nt you be at work, earning your raise? Just wondering.
rock Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 went to a shop yesterday, product 'A' was R151.50, same product at another shop within walking distance, R83.00 - 82% difference?
