Needed a roll bag for an upcoming trip and decided on a Kuryakyn Grand roll bag, price in the US was $178 AD delivered, check prices here and the best was at ZPower for $250, asked if this was his best price for cash thinking he might take off 5-10%, but no, he stuck firm, man they wonder why we buy from O/S, I would have gone up to W'gong to buy it if he'd take a little off, so in the end he's lost a sale and any future sales with me. (it would have been even cheaper if the Aussie $ wasnt shit right now...80c to the US$).
Hey Red, got mine from that site, Eastern Performance are good sometimes, got my pipes from them last year, saved hundreds, the Aussie dollar might be .84c on the markets but Paypal will only give .81c ish, total came to $144.95US with postage but after exchange rate was $178 Oz. I wouldn't mind paying extra in Oz if the retailers were a bit more flexible like a lot of other businesses, it's best to keep small business going but no-one likes getting ripped-off.
This not only applies to imported goods..... priced Burleigh Bars... $520 plus freight and at local stealer $695
the prices in Oz are high because all these arsehole buy from over sea and makes the OZ market even smaller
I am considering getting a set of quiet baffels for the short shots, simply to see just what the differance is, getting them here in OZ seems like folly when comparing the cost from OS.
