Hamvention: Amateur Radio Manufacturers and Unfair Pricing...
Amateur Radio Manufacturers and unfair pricing!
Here I sit the day after Dayton, calling around to all the dealers looking for a HF Transceiver. There were some fantastic prices offered on equipment (As much as $500 off list), and the dealers are back to charging full price today. I am told by the dealers I called, that the Manufacturers were making deals with them so they could sell there inventories much cheaper, and the orders had to be taken at Dayton. Today, the day after when most of these orders had not even shipped yet, they are back up to full retail price. To be fair, Manufacturers should allow these prices for a time period after Dayton to give other Amateurs who could not drive to Dayton an opportunity to get the same deals. I think we should all write to them and let them know how we feel. This is unfair ! |

You could have either went to Dayton or found whatever way to get a radio from there. Get over it. |

This is a free market, remember? Or would you prefer the government telling businesses what they can charge. UNBELIEVABLE that some people expect soemthing for nothing all the time. |

Get a grip dude, that is the way sales work, it starts at a certain time and
ends at a certain. That time may not be on the schedule you like, oh well, that is what being the guy setting up the sale is all about. Don't like it, make your own product, market it, set up a sale and then let folks who want the special price a day or two later have it, it will be your business and you can run it any way you like. Jeeze, I hate whiners!!!! |
