Unhappy

The price of £340.00 was a very good price. You should try and remember that we are operating a business, and as such we need to operate at a profit.

In the face of a better price from another supplier, we cut our margin again and have improved our offer.

What is the problem?
We have to be flexable in the face of competition from outside our market. Customers who purchase from us receive a very high standard of service, with expert back-up (gained over 12 years in this field) this is not something they would receive from other suppliers from outside this industry.

I was just pissed off that you didn't offer me that price in the first place.

I understand fully; you are in business to make money. Fair enough.

Could you tell us all your current level of stock and when you will be getting more in. (if that is appropriate on the BB)

Cheers

Merlin.

What about those who have already ordered from you at the previous price of £340.00?

I thought you said the margins on the Geodesy were so tight further discount was impossible.

As it doesn't actually detect speed traps, I take it there is no legal issue with this device?

So your initial price of £340.00 offered to Scoobynet was pretty bullocks then?

Exactly. Why don't you offer us a *real* good price?

I sure, like all things, they'll keep coming down in price.

My targets £300. When they hit that, I buy!

Still, £320 sounds like a good deal, i'm just mean!

Hi All

Networx have indeed contacted me and have been good to their word and placed a banner on scoobynet. Thank you to them for supporting scoobynet for all of us.

Let's take advantage of their new offer, and who knows, if it's a success, maybe the next deal on the next product will be even better.

Best regards

Simon

Just been speaking to a chap at work who has got a TVR Tuscan. Apparently the TVR web group (through YAHOO) have negotiated a deal for £295. Surely we can do better than that with the number of Scoobies v TVRs?

I paid the full £340 and have had it for about 3 weeks or so. Easy to fit only two wires and has not let me down. It is also so easy to update which I do now every other week. I decided on the Morpheous as a lot of cameras are going the way of no radar and so are not detected by the usual detectors.
