yer...I have had a 10% or more in some cases, discount from my LHS for around ten years+ But when I bought a phenix flight sim I was told they had to charge me full RRP, no less! as if phenix (or importer?) found anyone giving discounts they would stop supply instantly  .

There are two versions. Cougar SV Pro CF and Race S1. Race S1 version will have different shock absorbers and less cf. What I wonder is if there are any pictures of race s1 version?

technically, it is illegal for either a group of shops or an importer/ manufacturer to fix a price and prevent others from deviating from it. that doesnt mean it doesnt happen as there are all sorts of ways round it but they shouldnt.
the thing with discounting too much is it devalues the brand. and that is why manufacturers dont like it.

The RRP is as above the Recommended Retail Price, This only means one thing it is Recommended!! The Retailer can sell the product for what ever they like. So if the RRP is £229 Retailer A could chose to sell it for £249 and Retailer B could sell it for £199, and if they so wished to use it as a lost leader they could sell below cost and sell it for £99. In other countries such as Ireland it is even illegal to sell a product below cost, a law designed to protect the small independant retailers. The Manufacture It is illegal for a manufacture to stop supply of a product to a retailer as a result of the price they chose to retail it at. Manufactures can charge Retailers different cost prices, they will no doubt have a basic cost which they then change as a result of Volume purchased, point of delivery etc etc It is Illegal As Marks link already states, Fixing retail prices is Highly illegal. This can result in a jail term if found Guilty!! and a fine of Upto 10% of the Annual company profits which is what happened at Hasbro In the example of products such as Apple and the PS3, the cost prices of these products are so high, the interest in them so huge and the availibility not great so you have a classic case of demand outstripping supply so Retailers i suspect don't need to reduce prices to sell them as they are giving money away, but what they do is bundle deals to encourage customers to spend as much as possible to increase the cash margin, that is why you never see retailers advertising the price of the individual PS3 you will always see a promotion being advertised which comes with X amount of games or accessories.

Does the price really matter??? If this new car hits the track and does really good many will want to buy it regardless of price!!!
I think Schumacher have been very smart here, reasonably priced for what looks a great car!!! Can't wait to get mine early!!!! Robin are you receiving my message??? Hehe

Been looking at the pictures on Schumacher's site again and is it me or does it look pretty tight for space on the chassis?
Time for another micro spektrum RX and MRT....

An up to date mid-motored 2wd car that seems to be competitive out of the box for £230-250 sounds like a bargain to me
Thats how I tried to justify it to the girlfriend anyway

With the servo tucked in to the front like it is, it looks like there's loads of room at the front if you're running the saddle packs, and plenty of room down the sides if running the stick pack.
