Oh let me bow down to your exreme salesmanship. If and one has no idea it is obviously you. You have never been herre you do not know what the market is like here just as I have no idea what the market is like in your neck of the woods. We have some of the best sales people in the city working for us. We have the highest sales in the city so we must be doing something right, but the cheaper bikes at MEC will hurt our bottom line and that inturn will hurt every dhops ablity to service the customer, in the way of better deals, and product selection. It cost money to keep the doors open snd every point we drop off of keystone cuts into that money that would be used to buy the things that draw the customer in. Your focus is small I am looking at the big picture. and as for this thread its closed to me because no matter what I say you will think you are right.

See, I can tel you have never been to Winnipeg. With out a word of a lie people here will jump in their car and drive acrossed the city to save 20 cents on a package of pork chops. For many people here its not about the money they spend getting some place, its about the sticker price, and if MEC is cheaper by $200, they will look at our prices online or call (shop policy is to quote MRSP on all phone calls) and then go straight to MEC instead of coming in to see us in person and possibly getting 10% off then getting 20% on P&A and one years free labour. We usually have some flexability on the pricing, but wont give our best price over the phone, it keeps the other shops from under cutting us.
