Shebeen Posted March 16, 2009 Share Just out of interest... How much research have you put into that post??? There was a massive outburst over it last year already! How much research was done into that?? I have pretty close ties with the industry at a supplier lever and at a retail level... I was clearly not involved with the meeting' date=' but the way I understand it is that the minutes you all read on the hub last year... were very misleading and one could be forgiven for making the assumptions that were made. It really made Fritz and Andrew look bad! [/quote'] I take it you've done enough research to have read the 'minutes' in the first place. Who wrote them, JK Rowling? I'm taking those 'minutes' as accurate until the actual minutes are distributed to the general public. It's now been classified as an 'open forum' in which FP and AM participated. If the so-called intentions were honourable, what have they got to hide? Who's keen to go throw some rotten tomatoes at the instigators at the Epic Prologue?

I was clearly not involved with the meeting' date=' but the way I understand it is that the minutes you all read on the hub last year... were very misleading and one could be forgiven for making the assumptions that were made. It really made Fritz and Andrew look bad! And as I understand, they were NOT out to make us (the consumers) pay more, but rather to protect their market! Retailers don't make massive margins at all and I don't blame them in the least for wanting to protect their margins. But please tell me what you all know about price fixing??? Is it not all rigged from the supplier side of things?! Eg. Tigerbrands story. How do you suppose the retailer is going to fix price??? Stand with a gun to his oppositions head and TELL him that he MUST sell a tube at R50 so that he can do the same?? Please man! I am sure that ALL the info I have got my hands on and ALL I have heard is not all 100% true and some of my opinions may be influenced by that. I want to see what comes of this whole case still and if my views on it are incorrect I will accept that. But before making comments like "why weren't any customers invited?" Think about it a little bit. Am I allowed to know what your company's margins are if I am your customer??? I doubt it!! There is an element of secrecy regarding pricing in any industry, not only cycling!! Also, how would this meeting have helped us, the consumers??? Quite simple... If stores aren't making ends meet, there is no prospect for investment in the stores and they close. Do yourselves the favour... Go have a look at The Lab and at Fritz's stores... They don't even sell the same stock!!! A tool that serves the same function from 2 different manufacturers cost different amounts. A dual suspension MTB from 2 different brands cost different amounts!!! So before everyone slings mud in the direction of the guys who are only here to provide us with a service and make a living, let's see what the competition board decides... and let's all quit speculating. I believe the competition board is a little more qualified to make judgement on this case than any one of us is!![/quote'] THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW SANE POSTS ON THIS THREAD OR ON ANY OF THE OTHER THREADS ON THE SAME TOPIC.!!!!! I agree on that. I agree as well. A sane post at last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
