CRC V Local Shops

Just looking for a bottom bracket there, nice to see the local shops beating CRC not only on the final price, but the RRP too.

crc inflate there rrps to make it look like your saving more than you are. Most local shops can quite easily price match crc. The problem for local shops is that they are hesitant to stock high end stuff, As most people assume that they will pay more than online for it and just go straight to CRC, Wiggle and the like.

Jees...never noticed that, but yes looks like that on a lot of their stuff

....marketing tricks eh.
