Default A word from BI regarding the sales increase.


I had sent them an email about the price increase of their KH uni's. I
thought you guys might be interested in the result.

"I was planning on purchasing a KH24 and then realized you had raised
the prices dramatically. Would you still be willing to sell one at your
old advertised price?"

"Hello and thanks for your interest in our unicycles. Mr. Holm
contacted us about not following his pricing requirements and his
threats to cut us off from our suppliers so we complied.
I'm afraid we could get into some serious trouble if we do not sell at
the price he dictates so
let him ( Kris Holm) know how you feel. I'm afraid our hands are tied.
Thanks for your inquiry and potential business.
Best regards, ____"

More or less what I was expecting, but I thought I'd share anyway.

BI = Bike Island. This was a response to the recent deal of the century
they had, listing KH20's at $360ish, KH24's at $405ish, and KH29's at
$420ish. If you go to their site, the price has been increased by ~$200
across the board.

Edit: I'm not saying it's not fair, I just thought it was interesting.
I half expected them to do a deal under the table for a quick sale as
the whole operation seemed a little shady. But they do have some
business sense.

So who's next? It was AE bike, then bike island, be interesting to see
if anyone else gives it a punt and how quickly Kris catches them.

Wow, that's odd, because the actual price for a shop to get a kh is
200$.
Kris is getting profit nomatter what, so i dont see the problem in it.

I don't know, maybe he has deals with other suppliers, and their lower
prices are bad for the companies Kris has deals with... It probably
isn't but it's a guess.
