Hey I've bought all my gear from Oz retailers for years at overly inflated prices. When I sent off my $170.00 including postage, Mountain Equipment, the only Sydney store that sells LA Sportiva, was selling the same boot for $270.00. Why should I continue to pay an extra $100.00 when I don't have to. Every expense I have goes up and up and so I will save every dollar wherever I can. If the boots were only $200.00 at the time I would have just bought them but dammed if I am going to continue to subsidise local business from my pocket, why should I have to. |
