MTBeer Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 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.
Mojoman Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 If its a blue vest I bought it for R199 at SW at Princess Crossing.

MTBeer Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 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.

Gnarly Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Did you not know the prices before you took the items to the till?
Kranswurm Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 http://www.firstasce...tid=248&level=3 Mens Thermal Crew Top - except a white one. Then go back and complainit is probably marked incorrectlyAs for the 159 from your lbs he is prob selling it as cost to clear old stock or move the stock.They do this all the time
MTBeer Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 Only a fool goes to SWH for a bargain....Ya, S Warehouse, Builders Warehouse - spotting a trend here...
Mojoman Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I bought this one:http://www.firstascent.co.za/web/product-details.php?prodid=851&catid=248&level=3
MTBeer Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 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?
Pariah Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 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...
dirtrider Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 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 ?
