I am looking for a specific item ... have been for a while.  So I know what SportsmansWarehouse charge, waiting for the loyalty points sales.  I also know what the regular bike shops charge ....

 

 

Going to be "fun" watching the RRP and final prices ...😋

May the odds be ever in your favour...

B.T.W. someone posted about a website in another thread where you can see the price history of an item from takealot. Servaltracker.co.za

Very useful for checking if that deal is actually a deal.

 

I've just noticed the inverted we bought has increased by 18% in the last month, it will be interesting to see if they do a "Black Friday" deal on it tomorrw.

I made it to page 6 and NOTHING stood out to me.

Cyclelab and CWC are store's that are on an equal footing to a Game or a Makro. Sure, you can get stuff there at probably a reduced pre-inflated price, but do you need it?

Uhmmm ... your special price now match the normal price at TotalSports.   In fairness, your price is lower than some others advertising "20%" discount ....

 

Still waiting for discounts below the normal prices ....

Thread hi-jack .... 

 

What are your experiences of the Garmin 830 vs the 530 ?  Seems it boils down to buttons vs touch screen .... 

 

I have been in the button camp to date ....

Don't hold your breath. CWC/CL (and others) will probably inflate the RRP to make it "more attractive". I have learned to shop around first and compare prices before pulling the trigger when a deal seems too good to be true.
