Sportsmans Warhouse rip-off

I know this has been discussed here before, but here goes anyway.

 

I got a gift voucher for my birthday for Sportsmans Warehouse, so I bought a First Ascent thermal base layer and some other goodies. Cost of base layer R259.00.

A few days later I'm at my LBS and I see the same top for R159.00.

If its a blue vest I bought it for R199 at SW at Princess Crossing.

it's a white one - same as the blue one. Bought at SW West Coast Village. Even at R199 that's 25% more expensive.

Did you not know the prices before you took the items to the till?

obviously I saw the price, but didn't shop around at other places first. What's your point?

First Ascent... SW... It's their own brand, they can charge what they want... And if they get the opportunity to mark it up 200% and get away with it they will...

I am not always sure what to think of these mail !!! Do we want all shops to ask the same for their items so we can all blame them of price fixing and try and close another few shops and put another few people out on the street without jobs ? (something we very good at doing here on the HUB ) or do we just feel **** because it is a monday morning ?

none of the above. Just an observation - use it, don't use it.
