Just had to vent with a story.
I was looking around for the AI nano super blue. Found it finally from AquaCave for 269.99 and the controller for 59.99.
I called several LFS's in the area and the prices were 410,420 and even 475!! Controller prices were pretty much match at 100 to 120 dollars!!
How do these people get away with this?! I called AI, well.... Cause I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut when I feel strongly about something. I asked the manager there how they get away with upping prices so high and yet online you can get one for half the price and the controller half the price too!!
All he said was something about no cap? That they could sell the light for 1,000 dollars if they want!! I think that's terrible!!
Well right or wrong I put a certain LFS that I go to a lot on blast on Facebook and I'm apparently getting them pretty ticked off but I don't care. I want people to know if there looking for the AI nano or sol go online rather then get taken to the cleansers because someone needs to offset there costs!!
I call foul and it's just not right.
I know we all gotta eat but justify a 200 dollar markup!!!
Thanks for listening
And I'm not afraid to let it be known either.
