MudLark Posted September 9, 2019 Share I went into a rather well-known bike store this weekend with a view to taking advantage of their sale (and in particular their "make an offer" scheme) with a view to acquiring a comparatively cheap road bike for my indoor trainer. They rejected my offer (which I admit was a little bit cheeky) and said to me that the best they could do was a number between R16 K and R17 K. I am somewhat bemused to discover that I can purchase the same bike elsewhere at "normal price" for about R3K less. Which tells me how much more I am normally paying at the particular bike store in question than I could get the same thing for elsewhere… Pieterlab1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted September 9, 2019 Share I have the same issue when I go to my local pub for a Castle draught and pay R28 and when we go to the Waterfront I pay R50 have you taken the responsible step and rather ordered any other beer than Castle?

Rudii Posted September 9, 2019 Share It's called marketing, they make you believe you are getting the deal of the century.
