When do stores slash their prices?
Hey guys,
For those of you who have been hitting your friendly local board shop in Australia, I’d like to enquire on when stores start going into discount mode.
I’m aware that stores start their sales as the snow season draws to a close, like at the moment.
But do sales stretch till a couple of months before the next season? Say June 2011 or so?
Or do they end in a month or so, in anticipation of the snow season in North America and Japan?
If so, what are the sale periods?
I look forward to your responses.
Cheers!
the best sales are happening at the moment, sales will still stretch through summer but discounts will not be as much. If you need gear, now is the time to buy.
I see.
Problem lies with the fact that the board I want is out. But a shorter one is still available.
I’m caught between settling for the shorter one for a good discount and waiting it out for the longer one that may or may not be restocked next year, thus the question.
If the figures being offered right now are the best there’ll be and I won’t be able to get better prices next year, plus the fact that the size I’m eyeing may not be restocked, then it appears I’ll be better served buying the shorter one right now. Or so it seems.
what board and what sizes?
I think that riding the wrong size board just to save a couple of hundred bucks is a big gamble, considering that it will ultimately dictate your riding and hence enjoyment for an entire season… just a thought
Hey Rider,
any bargains going down at STM bondi atm? Was in the city store yesterday and was a bit disappointed. Am in need of new gloves…& bindings too if they are the right price!
Hey cords,
I’m not too sure, but I have emailed them to find out. Someone will let you know soon.
Hey cords
At STM we are doing up to 50% off on boards, boots and bindings dependent on year and model. Same with boots and bindings. 20-30% off Outerwear.
As for gloves and anything other accessories - if you are buying some other gear (eg bindings) we can package up a price for you. Or next time you’re in mention boardworld and say your a member - we look after BW crew year round as best we can.
Give the store a call 02 9387 5994 - see if there is anything that is to your liking…
Cheers
STM
very cool!
sounds perfect. If I have time I might drop in tomorrow night before the premiere. I’m not in sydney that often so I’ll see what I can do.
I’m after some decent bindings in a size medium & for under $200.
I’ve currently got some Ride Vxns which have served me well, but think I’d like to try something different.
didn’t have time to get into STM bondi the other night but checked out T2R, Pow, ESS etc in jindy as well as rhythm in cooma & wasn’t all that impressed with the sales to be honest.
