furkew Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Not sure who knows this, but Anaconda have a price check policy similar to Bunnings, and if you find the same product elsewhere in stock for a cheaper price they will beat it by 10%. I have been looking for a tent, and the one I finally decided on was being offered between $1399 (RRP) and as low as $849 on an Ebay traders site. I went to BCF first of all because they are also a dealer for Oztrail, but didnt have one in stock, and didnt even know a price. I then went down the road to Anaconda. They had one in stock for $1299. When I told the guy I had seen it cheaper, he told me about the policy. I then grabbed my Iphone, looked up on the internet stores offering the same tent. I found one in NSW offering the tent for $899. The salesguy then rang the store, checked the price & if it was in stock, then nodded that it was a deal. I walked out with the tent for just under $810 :biggrin: Worth thinking about if you are looking for more expensive items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is listed as a 2006 model although it is a MY05 which I expect any cars bought in January and February probably would be too. Unlike the UK where vehicle dates are based on first registration here they are based on manufacturer year so you may be even able to haggle harder as it comes towards easter when buyers would be expecting their car to be manufactured in the same year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
