Well most of the ebay retailers for motorcycle stuff have shops and staff as well...That, and they have salaries, building costs etc to pay
let's see. california has a larger population than all of canada. los angeles has a larger population than the 2 most populated provinces combined.Are the local shops more expensive because it's a smaller market here than say, LA?
I know, my paychecks come indirectly from Californiadon't forget, california has the 5th largest economy in the world.
hehe, hmmm, got a TL kicking around there?Dont worry, I dont hate you, just buy your bikes locally, and all is well.![]()
With 604z.com (local nissan 300zx forum) we talked to different places and got a lordco account and also a discount from one of the Nissan dealerships for members of the site. Maybe we should try and organize something like that for bcsportbikes.com? Or does something like that already exist?There isn't any part or accessory in a local shop that you can't find cheaper online if you look hard enough.

the way it works as being cheaper is that as stated by previous members, local shops have high costs, so that's why it ends up being in a high price. and you said that ebay retailers have shops themselves as well, but the thing is, the internet marketing business is an "extra" so the costs are excluded for this specific circumstance. just like our pizza stores, if you order online it's cheaper, because one trained internet specialist will take the order OR it's a automated computer system, so basically few or no staffs. we tend to think it's no reasonable as the business as a whole still has costs, but for them it's exclusive. if our local canadian motoshops have internet shops, it will be cheaper as well i believe, compared to buying them in person. of course, some customers prefer the friendly service and advices so they would pay a higher price for it to get the right stuff.Well most of the ebay retailers for motorcycle stuff have shops and staff as well...
Last time i was in Lordco, i got a discount anyway. He checked for BCSB accounts, but found nothing, so gave me a City discount instead :rockonWith 604z.com (local nissan 300zx forum) we talked to different places and got a lordco account and also a discount from one of the Nissan dealerships for members of the site.

mall leasing is astronomical. it's about $1300 a WEEK for one of those kiosk/cart/booth setups.I always thought that this would be a good idea, but why hasn't anyone tried to open up a Boutique type shop in a mall or something? A place that carries gear (jackets, helmets, boots, etc...), clothing and stuff like that. Just my two bits.
We will attempt to match any price. No hidden fees or funky surprises. some where local to do returns if there was a problem. We are on ebay aswell. Local pickup or delivery with no shipping charges.Kevin at Bayside performance will match prices and he's local if you want convenience.
