FNB to sell power generators

FNB has announced that it is providing 10,000 units of generators at a significantly discounted price to small business and residential clients.

 

[Fudzy]

Ha ha, great idea

 

[ToxicBunny]

Significanly discounted?

I think FNB need to re-evaluate what significantly discounted means.

The RYOBI RG-6900 is R8145 and Marko are selling if for R7999.

Yes I qualify for a discount at Ebucks shop, but I can get Makro vouchers for the same discount, so still get the generator cheaper, and not have to pay delivery or wait 2 days for the item.

Good point, can you still get generators at Makro?

6900 != 6900K - watch out for that (One is key start, one is recoil start)

This is true, so the Makro one is better AND cheaper...

https://www.ebucks.com/web/shop/productSelected.do?prodId=240763895&catId=238758050 - R9,999

R1000 more but I save a R1000 on my discount level.

The FNB one is a keystart, but yes Makro have the same one on promotion (keystart) for less.
R7999

So I''d take my 40% makro voucher discount and buy that one.

The FNB one for R8145 isn't key start according to them, its Recoil start.

Ok wait, didn't see the R10k one from Ebucks

R2000 more.

For me - R10k - 40% = R6k

Or... eb48000 for a R8k makro voucher and buy their promotion = R4800

Ah yes. I was lookin at their 6900K for 10k minus 40%

 

[ToxicBunny]

Basically I would call this just another massive fail from FNB again on their product pricing.

 

[Fudzy]

You need enough eBucks in order to get Makro voucher discount Otherwise you're just paying full price for the vouchers that you are paying for with cash.

 

[Fudzy]

Not enough eBucks to
get 30% off
(eB30 000) (?)

So basically you need have spent and saved 70,000 worth of eBucks to get this deal either way

mmm.

Yeah. FNB fail.

 

[Fudzy]

Yeah. FNB fail.

Would have been better if they allowed you to finance a generator like a smart device.

Yeah, then we would have been talking.. and maybe I would be more accepting of the not so special pricing.

How about UPS and solar systems while we are it?

Hell I'd be game.. but I doubt they'd finance the R150k type Solar system I want
