BigBoy10 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 My apologies for stirring, their prices are however much better than local. Could not get egg beaters at any of my local shops for less than R 700 crc start as low as r300.
ti guy Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I tell you what @leekie: YOU get the bike shops to come around, drop their prices to what CRC offer, stock their shops with the same stuff and we will ALL support our LBS. How's that?
Catatonic_Joe Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 hi people who order from crc clearly dont want to support local industry and shops , funny thing is ur bakup from crc is non existant and not even worth the effort maybe we should all try support local shops so that they will aventually be able to get stock and bikes at lower cost , Cool, let me know where I can get this at a better price, and Ill go there and buy it with a smile on my face
tikki Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) you did nothing wrong bigboy,i bought a egg beater the other day for less that crc and cwc , 25 bucks, works wonders on eggs and my arm! LOL Edited February 16, 2011 by tikki

Jeepdude Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 i'll tread out on the water.....here.. the guys getting ripped off here are the retailers as well as end consumer. i was in the bike trade and have let that go.... cost prices in RSA on bike goodies are ridicolous. the prices you guys see on CRC are MOST of the time less than the cost price retailers(bike shops ) have to pay to land it in their store from local suppliers. Prime Example the sigma heart rate monitors cwc sell are cheaper than what retailers are paying for them cost. obviously cwc are sourcing them direct. and he is selling direct to public thus no middle man there. bike shops then have to pay the transport (which in south africa is not cheap) frequently on small orders which add to prices , they have to add a mark up to make a margin and pay rent and salaries if they have staff. it is NOT easy to be a bike shop in RSA. SOOOOOOO ... i say... support local bike shops where you can especially with things like frames and bikes. BUT buy from whoever has the best price to your hearts content... this is the digital global age... why NOT?
Christopher Brunsdon Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Ok, CRC got it for R512.23, i know it excludes shipping etc. Get for me even for R600 and ill buy it. And Uncle Solomons has it for R499 and its 24pc not 18pc : http://solomons.co.za/taxonomy/term/152

Jeepdude Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 i am not trying to give a conflicting answer here rather clarity as to prices in LBS's when still in the trade i often thought.... HELL why am i paying X price for shimano this and that from coolheat when i can Jenson...CRC...Evans...etc to me cheaper and give customers slightly better price?
