    hopefully, they're a bit more honest about their advertising too…

      Actually,
      CRC are not allowed to ship Mavic outside of europe.

      • Although CRC advertise in Australian dollars, You will be charged in pounds and the banks exchange rate certainly won't be as good as what CRC advertise it to be.
      • Plus around a $20 transaction fee from your banke
      • Plus 10% Import duty(GST).

      I think you would find that our price is actually quite a bit cheaper.

    hi mate, happy to proven wrong here but think you've overlooked the issue of GST and import duty on items over $1k….

      Yep, you are correct. I've forgotten about the GST (more than $1k). I stand corrected.

    Didn't they do it last time they had a "deal" as well?

    The advertised price is $1,100 - $899 off the Recomended retail price.

    as we can all see from your link from last week. Our price was $1,399 and the recomended retail price was still $1,999

    I'm not too sure what is so deceptive and misleading about this deal. we have wiped off an extra $200 our already unbelievable price for today only. Go into your loval biek store and i think you would expect to pay the full $1,999 for thsi product.

      It is illegal to compare with the RRP when you do not normally sell the item at RRP…

      I'm not too sure what is so deceptive and misleading about this deal.

      Then read up on the Trade Practices Act… It specifically says that what you are doing is classified as deceptive and misleading advertising and is illegal against the Act…

      http://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/815334

      Misleading pricing
      A trader risks breaching the law if it:
      * makes inaccurate or misleading price comparisons
      Comparisons with the recommended retail price (RRP)

      Advertising or promotions of 'savings' or 'discounts' on the RRP of goods and services are designed to convince you that you are getting a good deal because the price is less than the RRP.

      If traders do not normally price their goods at the RRP, it may be misleading to give you the impression that they do.

        Surely the If traders do not normally price their goods at the RRP, it may be misleading to give you the impression that they do.
        is the bit that needs highlighting if it is indeed from the Trade Practices Act…

        if it is indeed from the Trade Practices Act…

        well, unless the ACCC is lying, the article i linked to refers to the Trade Practices Act 1974, (renamed the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 on 1-Jan-11)

        Have to agree, i'm afraid. Misleading advertising = neg.

      lazed on 09/05/2011 - 17:10

      It's a pretty simple concept and it's a law for a reason. If you don't wish to abide by the law I'll be happy to submit an ACCC complaint about you, it only takes 2 minutes. Let me know what you would like to do. Cheers.
