Question on Pricing

Marcus and staff. I've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Winegard Pathway X2 satellite antenna. Winegard sells the unit directly on the internet for $449.00

I was pretty excited to see that camping world is now selling the X2 when I received a savings circular from CW yesterday. However, I think you might have a pricing problem in the circular (and on the web). Your ad says the regular price is $549.00 but the Club Sale price is $449.99. Your "sale" price is hardly a sale, and is even $.99 more that the manufacturer's normal price on their own website!!

So I'm curious. When you list a "Club Sale" price, is it really a sale price, or is it retail and what you call the "regular price" an inflated amount?

  • 1. Well, where is the guy with the gun forcing you to buy?

    2. Do you think that CW is the only firm to do this?
  • hey now, where do you think they get the money to pour mega bucks into sponsoring the NASCAR truck series and into blanketing the country advertising the sale of the century every other weekend .... the bottom line is, that money has to come from their customers

  • I have seen many times that CW jacks up the price on items and then marks them down to the regular manufacturers price and calls it club sales price. I think this is "deceiving your customers. Shame on you CW !!!
  • Thanks Old-Biscuit! But I think this makes my question to Marcus even more applicable. On the site you linked to, it says the MSRP is $449.00. So why does CW list the "regular price" at $549?
