Guest coenie Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I managed to convert the pricelist to PDF and attach it...quality not good but you can see what is going on....just zoom in.GOTOBIKE.pdf
GrumpyOldGuy Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Customs require all importers/exporters to update there details, ill see if i can find the letter from SARS, i actually think it was before the 1st Jan Thats interesting, I use a huge forwarder's (UTI and Barloworld) and import regularly and neither of them said anything to me either. I will give them a call now and hear what they say.
ngala24 Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Have a look here http://www.sars.gov.za/home.asp?pid=60547 Bottom right of screen is a item 'Customs presentation to SAAFF on data clean up' explains it but i know we got a letter after that with cut of dates etc
Guest coenie Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I managed to get the geometry for the 29er and here it is.....I can also give you the email addresses if you guys need more info....I was thinking that if we can get a big order together we can reduce the shipping....Here is the email addresses...gotobike05@vip.163.com gotobike03@hotmail.com I don't want to be the agent for them just thought that we can do a big order and then it has to be everyone for himself....simular to CRC....Just so you know not to come to me for warrenty's MTB753.pdf

I dont know what regular is but I bring in at least 20 shipments annually Ocean and Airfreight so I am assuming thats more than regular.
Guest coenie Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Ok guys here is an update on this story. Gotobike now has an agent here in SA, and they want us all the use that agent..Now at first I thought wow cool idea. But here is the catch, just look at the prices.. GOTOBIKE Price$500 for 29 er frame $460 if you order more than 11$600 for shipping / bank cost of 4 frames just you could avg it on $160 per framethat isR4620Add vat R5266.80 to land it here plusR800 for custom paint =R6066do the same calc on $460 a frame and you will see that profit is even bigger You can now buy that locally for R11 000 Thanks very much to another fellow south african for yet again....well you know what I mean.
Fast R Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Dont worry Coennie, that wont last, I know. Not many people are willing to buy no name brands. I had xt, xtr, sid, complete carbon 26" for 18k ..... not a single hit, hence me stripping the bikes and selling as spares. So there were manny before me.

So there were manny before me. i forgot to add they are selling it as a "brand" here and thus justify there cost like that. They have also managed to get the surplier to stop selling blank frames to us.... Well I am sure there is another GOTOBIKE out there... He wanted to sell me a blank frame if I take 4 at R9000 still making a fair share I think... I would rather pay more then an get a Volcan....
MTB_Roadie Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Okay...just for inerest sake as what is that frame branded as...so know the guy can give better discount!
Guest coenie Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Is it named after a garden implement?I am sure you guys will put 1 and 1 together....
MTB_Roadie Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 there is a few....Newish brands...just tell us
ngala24 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Is it named after a garden implement? Exactly what i was thinking
MTB_Roadie Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Exactly what i was thinking Green Wheelbarrow

Interesting that, Its easier for ASG to sell 100K Chinarellos' than it is to sell unbranded bikes at give away prices.
