And the upscale in price more than the other one is probably due to OEM rubber I'd trade it in if i found out I'd mistakenly bought two of the same colour... _David_, Showtime, BigDL and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the negative side, I see the ront is tanking again. On the positive side, I see that Walmart was announcing 90% drop in profits as they are having to dump inventory, so there is a chance that the natural oversupply will lead to a drop in pricing over time as that is just the way the economy works. IF the ront can just come back a bit, I would have that things improve in the next year or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ouzo Posted September 1, 2022 Share As I'm to cheap to buy Steadyracks (which IMHO, as good as they are, are over priced anyway) I went on a hunt for bike storage hooks. Whilst these are not the same brand name items, all of them were pretty much the same material, same construction method and I'd bet if you removed the packaging you could not tell one brand from the other. 4 different stores, prices ranged from R 130 - R 1000 throttles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaheedalex Posted September 2, 2022 Share Has anyone else noticed that the price of used goods on this platform has increased in price quite abit as of late. There are a few used bikes as well as used parts for sale that are a fraction cheaper than what they run for new.This leads me to believe the bubble has poped in the retail space and prices are normalizing while the 2nd hand market still needs to catch up cause most people bought in the bubble. Also seems that ads are staying on longer than before too. Eddy Gordo, Hairy, OVERDRIVE and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before they skim the cream and sell that at R120/l and put the rest in a bottle.

We did this with a few other families, taking a turn every four weeks to collect and deliver to each fam. Just 8k’s to the farm and most worthwhile with three rapidly growing kids.

Spookie Posted September 10, 2022 Share So, this morning I was in a well known bike shop in CPT grabbing some bar tape, and up for sale they had a Demo Cannondale Topstone 2. So: Aluminium bike, 10 speed GRX (but with an FSA crank), and Demo model so lightly used. R40,000. HOW EVEN. The poor sales guy thought I was interested. He did try tell me that it retailed at “R55k new” and was “reserved for a customer”. Shame. Hope he is just making that up or someone’s getting properly shafted 😂 117 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
