Een paar dagen geleden was ik van plan een Soul (aka Riovolt) MP3 CD speler te kopen (n.a.v. een aantal zeer goede reviews). Na een afkoelingsperiode van een dag besloot ik hem te kopen bij http://www.computergeeks.com/ aangezien hij daar het goedkoopst was (129 dollar). Echter, toen ik hem de volgende wou bestellen, was hij opeens van de lijst verdwenen!. Dus ik heb meteen ff de salesmensen gemailed bij computergeek, kreeg ik dit terug:
"Thank you for your interest in Computer Geeks and for your inquiry regarding the ''Soul Player''
MP3 CD.
Computer Geeks negotiated in good faith with the manufacturer of this product and in fact did
purchase and sell about 1000 of these units.
Our confidence in this supplier was damaged by their insistence on what ultimately can be called a
price fixing scheme.
We have no interest in profiteering off our loyal base of customers. Our sales price was $129.00. At
this level we made a profit margin that is normal and acceptable to us and gave our customers good
value for their hard earned money.
The manufacturer, presumably at the demand of Easybuy 2000, demanded that we release them
to market at no less than $145.00!
Our position is simple. No one has the right to dictate to us what price we need to charge
our customers.
We need your help. You are our constituency - our customer base. If you are interested in buying
this player from us, at a fair price, as opposed to an artificially pegged cartel like price, please let the
manufacturer know.
You can contact them at http://www.soul.com.hk/contact.html
You can also let Easy Buy 2000 know how you feel about them. They seem to be more interested in
behind the scenes politics and schemes than they are in building themselves into a credible supplier.
As always, we sincerely appreciate your support and we will always be focused on delivering
fair value and a fair price.
Thank you
The Geeks"
Regelrechte prijsafspraken dus!
Ik vind dit dus absoluut niet kunnen en raad dus ook af om verder nog iets te kopen bij easybuy2000.com
Je kunt de mensen van Soul altijd nog hier: http://www.soul.com.hk/contact.html een mailtje sturen mocht je er wat van willen zeggen. #)*(!*()@ kartelvorming
