I don't know how they get away with it.
We buy the same stock as they do, but get told if we sell it below RRP then its "devaluing" their products, so as such suppliers will stop supplying to us. Good service sure, but thats why the local shops have to advertise everything at a higher price but can usually be haggled with on price to put it inline with the online prices. ____________________ Please be aware that the above post may be full of complete nonsense.

To be fair, its a lot easier, I'm at work and finish when everthing closes, so I can just have it delivered to work next day, so it's convenient.
Also, a lot of people don't feel comfortable with haggling, not really British culture, more India or Thailand, them sorts of places where it's rude not to.
Talking about prices in the current climate, if someone is selling something for £1.00 but another shop is selling for £0.98 you're going to go for the latter, because we're all suckers, so what's the point in haggling when you don't have to? ____________________ Previously owned: Kawasaki KH125, Suzuki GP125, Suzuki GX 125, Honda CB125 TDC '83, Honda ntv 600, Kawasaki ER5, Kawasaki ZZR600, Aprilia RSV 1000 Mille

I dont agree. RRP is recommended retail price. Key word is Recommended.
As for how they get away with it, its simple. No overheads compared to a retail outlet. All they have to pay for is a storage area and advertising, postage and minimum staffing. Retail establisments have so much more to pay out, council tax, electricity, water (on site toilets etc), staff wages, ground rent, etc.
That is the sole reason why online is cheaper than retail outlets. ____________________ illuminateTHEmind wrote: I am just more evolved than most of you guys... this allows me to pick of things quickly which would have normally taken the common man years to master

No, I understand all that. What i dont understand is that they're allowed to make up their own prices whereas anyone else drops below RRP they get greif. ____________________ Please be aware that the above post may be full of complete nonsense.
