Makro Cannondale

[tubed]

"without the approval or license of Omnico (Pty) Ltd" - 

 

what a sanctimonious load of bollocks - the competition has just eaten you for lunch and you still come with a superior attitude - perhaps someone should point out that if you cant compete on price then you should offer a better service or some other aspect to customers, but to suggest that Walmart need your approval or license, clearly you don't understand the term competition or you need someone else less sensitive and more pragmatic to word your press release

If the specs are as advertised they can keep the warranty.

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

 

Will monitor this thread with interest !!

I am all for competition

[shaper]

So which other brands can we request Makro to bring in 

[Shebeen]

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

could well be.

 

if it's a RRP R13 000 going for R4400, then they are leaving money on the table.

I don't think they would be that silly charitable 

[fanievb]

at that price I can drive to the closest Makro (PE), buy two and still save.

I'll wait patiently for the launch

[Duane_Bosch]

How much will a Super Six be?

[SRBVI]

If Makro starts selling then they become "Commondales."

Makro has a history of selling items at ridiculous prices to gain market in a certain area; even at a loss.

 

Some time ago Makro was selling a certain brand of computer hardware for a period of six months at a price cheaper than what the competition could get them from the importers. Easy way to get in, and screw some of the competition over...

[Sidersky]

Year models will also be interesting.

For that price for a brand new bike, does it really matter?

Goes to show that one could perhaps sell more of a given product at a lower margin. The demand is there, someone just have to take the plunge on higher volumes/lower margins over higher margins/lower volumes.
