There seems to be several lines of thought on how to market and sell goods. You can sell low quantities at a very high price, or like the Walmart model sell tremendous volume at very low price.
Observing the success of Walmart over the years some (people smarter than me) may reason this is a good model. High volume with small margins = alot of net income. So with this in mind I struggle to believe that four steel flares sell for so much money $$$ C'mon man- material cost can't be over 60$ for all four flares? So I realize that there are many costs with running a business and I realize the costs are spread out over the product line. I don't pretend to know the business, maybe they really do cost so much? The reason for this poll is- If enough 914 owners vote to buy a set at reduced prices then just possibly the seller's will see the wisdom of volume pricing. Plus I will be looking for a cheap set...LOL |

Ridiculous Poll, I'm not even going to Vote.
As much as I don't like George, the price on his Flares are not bad, especially if you got in on the Group Buy. The much BIGGER Costs are Installation ( about $2,000) Different Suspension, Wheels, Brakes, etc If you can't pay the Piper, don't play |
