I requested a p/list this morning frm a sale rep @ Pinnacle and shocked to see how expensive they become, even wholesalers like rectron, sahara and esquire are 7-8% cheaper.

am i missing something or are prices going up????
 
yes prices went up. I have no problems with pinnacle. They deliver great service and return policy is very nice. What exactly is so expensive about them?

I deal with them a lot and I like the service I'm getting. Cheap is not the best way out and I'm willing to pay a bit more to get better service. I feel esquire will have more problems when faulty products stuff than pinnacle. please send me the latest rectron pricelist please

yes I'm scared to buy stuff that i can get at pinnacle elsewhere because they will have lots problem getting my products swapped out and also can take a long time. Pinnacle for me It's normally a matter of going in to the repair section and then the technician testing it quickly and then swapping it out or if they don't have it they will credit me and i will buy the better product. as easy as that.

these are pinnacle vs????
 
Sure, so am I, so you think it's cool to publish dealer prices on an open forum?
 
Did I post the prices? Nope.

I woulda posted saying between dealer x & y there is R500 exvat diff on this ????? item .....
 
I never said you did Chilli, was aimed above you. :)


No harm in commenting on relative prices, I just believe posting dealer prices in a public forum is not the way to go, IMO, s'all.

I agree with you there, especially considering that those prices probably exclude VAT & also other costs could be card machine charges etc....

I will only ever quote a final price here on the forums never my cost & I assume so would you.

Must run - going to do a few deliveries quick.

lol these prices are not right and I can see on the latest Lenovo pricelist that the laptop prices are a bit cheaper than that. If I compare the prices using the latest Lenovo pricelist i see that pinnacle is indeed the cheaper one.
