RingOfFlame Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 That is very kind of you Simon. What is that phrase? Never knowingly undersold? Which I think translates as we will sell you the item at an inflated rate until the customer points out otherwise.

Which I think translates as we will sell you the item at an inflated rate until the customer points out otherwise. very harsh comment fella at the end of the day you can see many different suppliers are showing a much high cost ,
RingOfFlame Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 But how many of those other suppliers are comparing their prices with others and stating they are "The Cheapest In Town" Harsh comment? Maybe, but also fact.
featured_spectre Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 actually loads do, but in contrast, CP generally do come in at the cheapest price! 1
kmount Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 But how many of those other suppliers are comparing their prices with others and stating they are "The Cheapest In Town" Harsh comment? Maybe, but also fact. He said "As far as I can see" not that they "are". Be fair mate, everyone needs to make money and knowing Simon he's probably just cut his margins down to nil if you're competing directly with an Acer Outlet to save face from being beaten outright. 1
Haptic Posted December 1, 2009 Author Posted December 1, 2009 guys i did actually state and I quote "As Far As I Can See" we are the cheapest!
RingOfFlame Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) I fully understand that Simon has to make a profit but at the same time it would seem that Simon has quite a following on these forums and therefore the trust of fellow members. So I find it a shame that he may take advantage of that with an inflated mark up. At the end of the day the Acer Outlet will be making a profit on that price, and so will Simon otherwise he wouldn't be selling it for the price he is. I am sure Simon can be the cheapest but on this occasion I was just pointing out that he was not. And many thanks for the negitive reputation, would seem I have touched a nerve?

mac_shinobi Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 I wasn't knocking him for the price - was just tongue in cheek ref the spec savers comment which made me chuckle a bit

"Inflated Markup" I have dropped from £395 to £366 loosing us £29 and ill be trasparent with you we are now make £5.00 a box , so i wouldnt say inflated , the reason for the drop is to show our commitment to the forums and show a valid saving chap:cool: also not all resellers get the same deal!

kmount Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 would seem I have touched a nerve? Not at all fella, I just think you were a little harsh in your comments only partially quoting what he said as fact. At the end of the day, other suppliers are charging more and may be making more or their unit cost may be higher, there's no way of knowing for sure. For Simon to have dropped his price that quickly it was a classic save face approach having just been trumped by a fellow sponsor. I should probably point out I've not bought anything from Simon since leaving IT in Education 8 months ago.
mac_shinobi Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 I should probably point out I've not bought anything from Simon since leaving IT in Education 8 months ago. Have not worked in edu for a long long time now
RingOfFlame Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Well done to Simon. I am sure there are many who will give thanks for that. I just think it is a shame when suppliers have to be played of with one another like this just to get a fair price. In this instance Simon has lowered his price, but how many members have purchased equipment in the belief that they are getting the best possible price? I think I have made my opinion clear so will leave it at that. 1
featured_spectre Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 even though I work in education, I have used simon for personal orders, as he still comes in cheaper than most other places, and repeat business is good for him and me as we have a good working relationship.

I think you can buy cheaper on ebay but does that mean good value , we pride ourselves not just on price fella but our expert knowledge and service

soveryapt Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 I think you can buy cheaper on ebay but does that mean good value , we pride ourselves not just on price fella but our expert knowledge and service Cheaper on eBay Simon, then maybe everyone should lower their prices to that instead!! lol .. Or, if you prefer, you could just give out free cash! I'm yet to buy from Simon (hopefully something soon though should the stock and prices come in though huh!) but ANY supplier cannot do any more than set their prices at reasonable rates ensuring that there is a little markup in there for advertising, but overheads have to be met, whether you're selling stock or not! From what I can tell thus far in my discussions with Simon, he's a good chap and plays a fair game, I mean what are you expecting RingOfFlame? That suppliers sell you the kit without any profit for themselves? Yes, he was a bit more expensive than the Acer Outlet, but to be fair, have you ever had to deal with Acer Support? They stink, where as companies such as CPLTD have expertise on site and can ensure that, with a bit of discussion, the system you're going to buy from them is fit for purpose to your needs, where as I'm sure Acer would love to get the money off you and leave you to figure out the rest yourself. Sheesh.. yes we all want a good deal.. but at the expense of someone's livelihood? Besides, even at the price slightly higher than Acer, that's a pretty good deal! The kids could do with a new machine at home and if the card wasn't already hitting limits due to the festive season being upon us, I'd be seriously tempted! (rant done) 1
