Should be laws about this sort of shit
There are, and I don’t doubt they comply.
Why do folk get so hacked off at variable pricing? The only rule with px is never buy anything at full price because at some point soon it’s going to be cheaper. So long as it’s reduced to a price you’re happy with then go for it and use it. So what if it’s a few quid cheaper several weeks later, you’ve been using it and had that benefit.
Not everything had been put up pre sale, there are still parkwood 29ers for 99 less 25% etc, and that codeine package is a corker, I was tempted.
Planet x have only reduced the frame on its own to about 600
It has been 300-something at it’s very lowest at the start of fubi-wotsit sale (INC shock) but it was like it for a day and I’ve never otherwise seen it that low.
I also don’t really get all this PX business-model bashing – they serve a market segment that exists, and despite a reduction in full-time staff they still employ a lot of local people in the push bike industry, which is a Good Thing. Imagine if they keep all those extra staff on and go under due to making excessive losses – then everybody gets fired and no one has a job. Does every other business that employs seasonal staff get a bashing… Every major retail outlet around xmas time and other holidays etc…
They also do some good stuff – see the 50% of profits over a sale period being donated to a local scout group etc…. they support many many riders on road and tri etc… And amazingly, they even gave really good service when I went in to pick up a few orders the other day.. I even need to retract a comment made a few days ago about their thin gloves – the 2017 ones I tried on in the shop are far better than the 2016 ones.
