Free Posted August 4, 2009 Share I just saw the CWC add. How can they sell a Dura Ace 7900 groupset at R16 500 while the reccomended retail from the local agents is R26 000!! Do the groupset from the local agents come with some ky jellie, cause you'll need it for the shafting they give you!! Im sure the cost to the cycling shops is more than R16 500. Obviously CWC dont get stock from the local guys, but how can these guys justify selling something at 10 grand more than someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoLefty!! Posted August 4, 2009 Share don't care, all I know is if I was lookng for a Dura groupset CWC is where I would buy it. Warranty is with the shop anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted August 4, 2009 Share but how can these guys justify selling something at 10 grand more than someone else. because they can and there are people willing to pay for it. Not everybody shops around for bargains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted August 4, 2009 Share ^^^ What GL said. Don't bitch about it, vote with your wallet. As far as warranties go, the less said the better. I'm thinking of writing a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted August 4, 2009 Share Not everybody shops around for bargains. True. But if I bought a groupset for 25k yesterday only to see this add today, I will kick a dent in someones head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted August 4, 2009 Share Thats besides the point. Someone is making a unfair killing and the average guy is paying for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASTANA Posted August 4, 2009 Share If you find something cheaper, be happy about it and enjoy. Some other nut will pay more for it because he adds the "value" to the price he paid for it and it looks cooler on his 100K bike - his buddies buy at the same place so they compete with how expensive they can go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted August 4, 2009 Share The recommended retail of R26 000 is with a 50% percent markup. I asked around for some prices and one guy at a shop showed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At CWC its around 11K. Not going to buy that - just that I could remember the price from CWC to compare. Not cool. and CWC is still making money form that Imagine how hard we get RAPED anyway .....

ASTANA Posted August 4, 2009 Share Any service Rape the buyer. No one out there starts a business to play even at the end of the day. Maybe that some stuff at the some shop will be cheaper while as other stuff more expensive so on average the shop makes a profit. Some shops ignore that and just makes 100% on everything. At least we have CWC to make the decision a bit easier price wise. Thanx guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
