Title: GAC latest catalogue
Post by: Highlander on January 29, 2022, 01:47:53 PM
Is it just me or has there been a big hike in prices. Not just on a few items but across the board. Also note on he front page  quotes 1.000s of new items. other than a few it looks like much of the same stuff as before.
A wee question why do firms have just about everything as £100.99. Not the £100 but the 99p. GAC & they are not alone have just about everything like that. I have always wondered why. Sure some of you marketing people can tell me.
last question
How may fly reel or lines can we buy. A rough count there are over 80 fly reels on offer & that does not count size & colour combinations of the same reel similar with fly lines. We wont go down the rod route but you get my drift. Enquiring minds & all that.
Been a slow week   ;)

Everything is up in price across the board Alan.
The bill has arrived for having millions of people sitting at home on their arses being paid for doing nothing for 2 years.

Your probably right Fred. Still plenty of choices for a new reel there Fred for your new to come rod. Think a traditional reel might suit the bill. Well your choice.

I was told the .99p was so that the till had to be opened to give change and the sales assistant couldn't just pocket the money  :(

One person in retail said to me it's just phycology

£99.99 is under £100 while £100 is not!  Folk just look at the digits to the left of the decimal point.   :)

The choice is overwhelming Alan. Sometimes when I have too much choice I end up choosing nothing.  ;D
