If you read any of the OTHER posts, you'd know that:noel wrote:So you are upset with your shop because your country charges a higher tax? I believe the 2013 SS Space Pickle 5.0 is $699.00 and the 2014 is $869.00 (I think). The shop may be quoting on the 7'4" or 8'6" which is $1249.00 and $1299.00. Not sure but you should make sure. Shops and all other retail outfits need to make money. Shipping is not free also. Shipping an SUP board from Califonia to let's say Florida will be @ $100.00. That cost is usually not added to the price unless ordered specifically. So the shop most likely eats that cost.
Are you upset when buying a car and they up charge 30-40% for the sale price?
I was looking at the Naish Hero 140 to replace my lost board.Slappysan wrote:That is a pretty bad markup on a good board.
I'm curious what local shops sell Naish kit for in your area, I find that Naish a very strict with the prices that shops are allowed to sell so it would be an interesting comparison to check out the price of a Naish Fish or Global there vs. the $1100 you'd pay in the US.
Also note that Real wants $879 for that same board that kite-line is offering for the MSRP so there might be something else going on there.
I have worked for kite/surf shops for almost 15 years and for Ford Motor Co. for years before that building trucks, i know a little. Did you ask the shop why such a high mark up if you know how much it should cost? I don't know the situation there and unless someone is from there, how would we know? Are there any other vat or duties?Kamikuza wrote:What cars are you buying and what optional upgrades are you getting?
