About two weeks ago I decided it was time that I started to shop for a new lawnmore because the one I had was starting to fall apart a little. I was not particularly worried because I had not paid for this and it was given to me a number of years ago and has done a great job over this time.
There probably 3 local stores near me so I decided to pay each one of them visit to have a look at the various models they had and of course see who had the best prices. I’ve always been a firm believer that you need to doublecheck pricing before you make any purchases. I came across a particular model which was available in all three stores and I was amazed at the price differences across each one of them. Form the most expensive today cheapest the price difference was $36 and considering that all of these stores are intimate in very close proximity of each other it was amazing how to price difference.
Needless to say I purchased in the cheapest store naturally because the same item was on sale. When in the most expensive store I happened to see the manager and asked him why he was more expensive than his rival. To be honest he could not constantly and did mention something about that they order such a vast quantity that they get massive discounts. I know this could be true but you would think a manufacturer of a specific law more would offer deals like this to a retailer that would not be available anywhere else because it certainly doesn’t help with branding and pricing for the ordinary consumer who is making a purchase.
