Now THIS sounds like the Massmart I know and deal with...

 

They have international buying power thanks to the Walmart tie in. If its a Rand a unit cheaper to buy it in Outer Mongolia and ship it here rather than use the local distributor, they will do that.

At that price I don’t really care for Omnico’s warrantee, at almost a third of the price I can just get another 2 replacements

Contacted Makro, apparently they are being inundated with calls and they will send out an sms next week latest regarding availability at stores.

Well it certainly confirms that the sms was real.

I'd like to see that the spec on the bikes is the same as the R12k one.

Year models will also be interesting.

That's what I'm wondering. Perhaps they managed to secure a ton of old stock for next to nothing.

But even if it is a direct Rand Dollar exchange rate, how do they get past import duties. Has the Real Trump been getting into RSA biking as well?
