Why does it cost more to get a hotcake in NZ???

[-kk-]

Arent they made here??

Are I able to get it from the man himself or do I need to go through the stores? Not looking to get one just yet, but definitely on the cards sometime this year..

I have Pauls email address somewhere, he might be cheaper than the Rockshop.

PM me if you want it.

Adidas has something to do with it?

Rockshop price match

that is pretty stink huh. wonder what their excuse is?

as a matter of interest, what is the pricing, comparitively?

[NZRS-Dave]

Let's see ... the RRP in NZ is $269 which is the price we have it for.

I had a look around the US websites ... and it took me ages to find one to get a price ... finally found one for US$170.

So add US$30 or so for freight and you get NZD$254

So then I thought to check Australia, and they were AU$299 before you even ship one over.

So all in all ... I am quite happy with our price ... but if it must be $254 ... I'll consider it.

so, OP, as a matter of interest, what is the pricing, comparitively?

I guess if it was made somewhere else then that argument holds, the fact is that theyre made here, shipped to the States to be sold for US170 - thats much lower than the retail price here.

Adidas are somehow behind this I tell you....and Apple. And NASA.

well they probably sell a lot more units in the states than here (just guessing) so they would get them at a better wholesale rate surely than NZ retailers...irrelevant where there made really

And NASA.

well now the shuttles are done they have F'all else to do

So again it falls down to gullibility and overheads.
