Has anyone compared their price lists lately - Rectron are insane with their prices. They are an extra R1000 more expensive on one of their i7 CPU's

I first thought their price list included vat! :eek:

What gives! :confused::eek:
 
Just a question can anyone buy from AXIZ?, I have never seen them advertising..
 
Check Rectron Jhb price list - good prices.

Check Rectron Cpt prices - fscked up inflated prices.

Apparently Rectron Cpt now have two price lists. One for the masses who bring less than R20k business pm, and another for their bigger clients.

:mad:
 
Rectron 14 years ago were one of the best companies to deal with - OK - rephrase, for Dealers only then, since in the Mustek fold, Greed has taken over - in competition with their own dealers, parent co (mustek) and competition also with sister co (corex)!!!
most mentioned (complained) of all IT companies (next to sahara) on Hello Peter website.

I've heard since the Italian manager that made Rectron (CT) great, the manager since then has been less able.
 
Rectron have their good deals but cpu's have never been their strong point along with vga card until recently.
 
PC-Zone in Pinetown is most of the time cheaper than Rectron DBN. I'm sure they(Rectron) lost a lot of business since moving to Umhlanga.
 
The sad thing is pczone is sometimes cheap than some distributors before you add the vat even. 2494 monitor a prime example, 2.2k inc from pc and i bought mine from rectron for 2199 ex vat.
 
seriously this is exactly why Frontosa (CPT) in raking in the cash, and they are literally opposite the road from Rectron.

I ALWAYS used to go to rectron, and every now and then to Sahara for their awesome CPU prices, even though their service was ****

Now I only deal with Frontosa, and Id be quite interested to sit outside and watch how many cars turn left... and how many turn right...

:)

Same here, the only reason I've been into Rectron over the past few months is for warranty claims;) Frontosa for the win and they have a much wider range of products for the enthusiast.

Rectron don't even do AMD, I mean wtf?

you serious!?? WTF

I mean Im not a AMD fan (these days) but come on a dealer of that magnitude (well what it used to be anyway) surely should stock both lines of CPU's

fail

:confused:
 
Rectron stopped doing amd when the core 2 range came out as amd sales dropped off the map for a very long time.

You cannot expect a company to carry on stocking stuff that is not moving. Why they do not stock now i do not know. Sahara did the same.
 
You can place an order in JHB and collect in CapeTown with Rectron - helps with the difference in pricing....

Another reason for the price difference could be the R/$, of course it does not always explain the massive price differences between distis; (R60 000+ difference ) on a server I quoted for the other day ;)

While a seemingly valid reason for fluctuating prices, I believe importers are bull****ting the process. Selling old (cheaper - already imported at old prices) stock at new (raised) prices.
