Eddy Gordo Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Damn, we in for a tough financial year.So many market sectors have a similar practice of over inflating the prices.Hopefully at the end of this we will see some sort of drop in price.I can say that the new stock we receiving is about 10 to 15% less than before. I hope there is a ripple effect in all other industries

Eddy Gordo Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Coffee ... another keyboard .... Yeah, I had to put hopefully, because whenever we see price decrease in stock or even transport, then our prices come down. However that does not relate to all other industries or our competition. I dont understand it.I will always try and give some relief on pricing so that customers can benefit

So it all depends on whether retailers/importers believe that the price is likely to go back up before they replace the stock?

So it all depends on whether retailers/importers believe that the price is likely to go back up before they replace the stock?by the time you have to replace the stock you would need to increase the price again anyway. So basically its kind of unfair to keep the price the same should costs come down. But hey thats just how we operate.

Mopkop Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 So I've got a problem. My package is at customs with " Clearance delay" When she called yesturday she wanted to know what a cassette is, as there is 2 in the package.... The one cassette is a SRAM cassette :ph34r: I really hope its not for the cassette, I went through the normal order/payment setup at Evans cycles WTF!

dev null Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 "We do care about where our products are positioned in the marketplace; that's an important part of who we are," West told BRAIN in a recent interview. "The IBD channel should earn a reasonable margin because there is certainly a value added there." Let's see how this works out for them, since their competition is not playing by their rules. Well, it does not really seem that they care... Since when do you charge more than 20k for a set of gears? Hell, there are some people that think 20k for an entire bike is a bit much.
