Cheap Kit

[Cizza]

Hi everyone ,

i have recently returned from a two weak vacation to france and whilst over there i was shocked to say the least at the price of the fishing equipment over there. for example i bought a Ryobi cf100 closed face match reel and two spare spools for £30 and a pair of shimano btr gt 8010 pike rods for £140 im not sure what the rrp price usaully is on these but i know in England i would have to pay a dam lot more. so this makes me think am i gettin ripped off?? howcome french stores can sell stuff so cheap??? is my local fishin shop rippin me off??? Does any1 have any answers or know any outlets that sell equipment this cheap??? If not dont you think its time to act time to sort out these extautionate prices that we are being charged!!

any company will charge what they can get away with,if everybody said "i`m not going to pay THAT" and walk out rather than have a warehouse of unsold goods the price WILL drop ,unfortunatly the uk has got used to being ripped off and meekly put their hands in their pockets

if you get ripped of abroad its because your british and a price hike comes because were hated ,i went to a sale whilst working in france with my employer who speaks fluent french (he was raised there but is english born) i was quoted a price which was double the price offered to my friend ,why ??? i`m english he was taken for a native ,unfortunatly brits rip of foreign tourists so were no better
