Thanks for the support Vanessa and co but unfortuneately i cant take credit for financing the Gym in Newcastle. That is unless you count a yearly membership as financing :)? And on that point the "tidy profit" ill be reaping from selling a few tents might get me a few months membership (at best), is that not giving back to the climbing community?
I can see where you guys are coming from, i dont post on alot of forums but i read most of them and comment where i can be constructive.
Even those that are negative towards this sale concede that my price or prices are cheaper than the retail stores. Ive nothing against everyone else buying from the states. The australian retailers and distributors are making megabucks at the moment with the exchange rate as their prices are slow to change with the US$ (if at all). Why should the average australian pay large sums into retailers and distributors coffers rather than pass on a little extra cash to someone else that enjoys the climbing life.
Im certainly not saying what im doing is a community service merely that while im getting something from this transaction the buyer is making a saving as well, nor am i forcing anyone to buy.
Finally, ive got nothing against the major outdoor/climbing gear retailers as i know their pricing and the reason their pricing is so high is more than skin deep, but thats not my responsibility. While there is such a large discrepancy between US and AUS prices for this kind of equipment there will be lots of people in my position and not all of them will be so forthcoming.
The choice is yours, rip into me if you wish for making a few $$ on the side but im not responsible for the reason this market exists in the first place.
Thanks |
