Title: braided hoses(goodridge)
Post by: jettagolf on 16 May 2008, 14:47
needed to buy some so went online as you do, had a look at a few sites and i could not believe the price difference between some companys. i wont name them but one company was twice the price than the one i ended up using, they are both very well known companys but one was just ripping the p!ss. so my advice is to always shop around before buying anything :smiley:

Thats because Goodridge don't give much discount unless you buy something like 500 hose kits a month... thats why I never bothered selling them

i hardly think that is a reason why one company was twice the price of the other

The standard trade discount is 15% now (it used to be 33%), while large orders command more discount.The company that gets the bigger discount can charge less than the company that doesn't

Also, Goodrige offer 2 qualitys of hose...the cheaper ones use zinc plated steel fittings while the more expensive ones use stainless steel fittings
