RRSP of so called "SALE" items


no calves

Recommended Posts

Good Day

 

Seeing a few online sites running Lockdown sales.

 

Is it just me or are they inflating the RRSP of products to create the illusion of a better sale. Whats worse is after the sale the product goes on to the newly inflated RRSP.

 

Seen this on a couple of sites.

 

NOT naming and shaming yeat, but i do have a good few screenshots to prove my points.

 

PS A certain shop blocked me on a few flatforms for calling them out on it a while ago, back then i thought its just me noticing it...

 

Regards

It is how they operate. Common knowledge. They been doing it for years. I don't buy anything from them on this principle.

Same, disgusting conduct imo

Ciovita has increased their price before calling a 21% Lockdown sale countdown lol... Corsa bibs are now R1699. Last week it was R1450....

I also noticed that. Peeves me off!!

On the Ciovita topic....

 

Anyone noticed that the items and that of SAKO7 is exactly the same? Materials, cuts even the gripper dots.. only the prints differ

CWC have been called out on this MANY times ...

. Not so much CWC BUT MORE EVOBIKES. They have exclusive form agent ,very close linked to agent and they just up prices and sell at normal prices.

Have you guys checked out the Asgstore specials, i have been viewing their specials for months but always seems overpriced or am I wrong? I have never purchased any of their products yet so could be wrong

Tread carefully ....

 

They (ASG) OFTEN dont have stock when concluding a deal ...

 

 

I have twice confirmed stock levels, then drive to Paarl ... to hear they dont actually have stock.

 

Same happened to friend.

 

 

NOTE ... they (bike shops in SA) cant ship any products during the lock down.

It is the same kit...

 

Sakho7/ Cyclist in Black and all his other many personalities used to use RH77 I think, but then moved across to Ciovita as it was cheaper.

 

Again, like the RRP at CWC, not a well hidden fact  :ph34r:

The only 50% sale which is still 80% more expensive than anything else available. LOL

Yes, they are supposedly premium products, but even then I'm not sure about some of those prices.

Last weeks 50% on Fizik caught my attention, but I see Infinito shoes are back at only 40%. :(

I am actually sick of them. Would be nice to see them give it a break. I mean hard times and they are having a sale. Hey guys any of you got any money left... we will take it. Lacks class.

to be fair, they also have to generate income to pay their staff

I have picked up some bargains over the years from their online store

No issues.
