  • Something that I don't get... Help me fill in the blanks

    I am sure that I will ruffle a few feathers here inadvertently - but thats okay. And please anyone who feels like this post is in any way offside - comment.

    So anyways onto the meat and potatoes here; I have noticed over the last little while that members of this forum who also have accounts on other golfing forums (in particular the big one that ends in WRX) have been listing their items on both sites for sale forums. I think that this is an awesome ability for both sellers and buyers to have and a true testament to the technologically dominated world we live in today. But where the problem arrises for me is when you see a product listed on both forums for different prices - AND the lower price happens to be on the American based site, when the seller is often times Canadian. So I want to know what gives? How do people justify these differentiating price points from site to site? Is it the intimidation factor of the bigger site? Is it that Canadian golfers don't think their fellow golfers are as knowledgable as our American counterparts when it comes to equipment?

    I know that this isn't always the case but it is something that I have been seeing more and more of lately, so I thought that I would post to see what others have to say about the issue.

    very legitimate questions.
    I don't sell and very seldom buy off the net(ebay)or any forum I belong to.
    What I see is ridiculously high shipping costs on Ebay used to bolster the initial low sale price. When it's all figured in, it seldom makes it worthwhile.
    The used market is huge in the States and thus very price competitive.
    Canada is a comparative boondock where you get what's going at a premium price point.
    That's just my opinion, obviously.
    things change

          That's what I was going to say. $200 Canadian currently translates to about $170 US in terms of what you'd get from a Bank or PayPal.

                  Paypal is a total rip off when it comes to foreign exchange.

                      The prices are often lower on WRX... so shipping would take more away from the seller.

                        That is a good way of looking at it.
