edited February 2011 in MTB buying advice
I was looking on CR @ some hydra' brakes that I fancied..I hadn't decided so I was waiting to buy..over the course of a 4/5 days they went down in price then back up??
I almsot bought them when I scrolled down further and found a complete bike set (f&R) in gnarley LTD colours @ a bargain price.
I bought them @ about 11.40 pm (the benefits of nightshifts) and duely checked my mails this morning...I went to their website and to my suprise the ones I had bought had increased in price by £15.oo.. :shock: all this happened whilst I slept..but no horror story here the price I paid etc,I got the despatch e-mail earlier... :D
My question is is this normal for them or was I (un)lucky to find 2 items with the same fluctuation?they were the same make but different items.
Also my advice to prospective buyers is to watch the item for a while an buy it at a low..a bit like shares.... :?
That's the nearest I'd get to dealing...

    CRC's prices yoyo all the time, it's why i'm so paranoid about buying from them, i'd be rather annoyed if I bought something and they knocked off 10/20/30% a few days later...

    no.

    read the rules.
    Use proper English, the use of "txt talk" will be looked upon in a dim light. Do NOT post messages all in caps.

    I was in a rush..srry( :wink: )

    At least the fluctuations have worked in my favour this time... :D
